Dear Blog
Saturdays have become "clean the house" days and "grading my student's homeworks.
However today I procrastenated to do either tasks until I did something for myself.
I put together a 250 piece Puzzle.
On our honeymoon I bought a Puzzle from the gift shop in Europe. It is the picture of a famous painting (I can't remember the name right now...)
I had been meaning to put it together but I hadn't found the chance. The sealed box has been sitting on the table in our T.V. since December. I decided that today would be an excellent time to do it. I needed to get my mind off work and home. I haven't been stressed recently, but I needed to do something for myself.
I have always been a fan of puzzles big or small. Even though my parents didn't have many puzzles at home, due to the humidity problem that the house had. I never stopped enjoying looking for puzzles and dreaming that one day I would be able to take an afternoon and relax.
Today was that day.
Now, hours later, I kind of regret not working around the house and getting a late start on checking my students papers. BUT it was worth it.
No one really called the phone today. Just my mom checking up on me.
Gerard was out running errans.
Bryce was off doing his things.
My in-laws kept to themselves. The whole family is going out for dinner tomorrow: his parents, and my parents.
And my agent/editor is busy re-schedualing the interview.
This was the best weekend I've had in awhile. Very relaxing, just taking a couple hours for myself. Totally worth it.
I recommend that at least once a month a person should allow themselves to make time for "them".
Go work out.
Go the the spa.
Sleep in late.
Read a book in bed in your P.J.'s.
Work on a puzzle.
Play a board game.
Just take some time to pamper yourself and stay worry free. It helps.
At least I think so.
So one goal down: Taking time just for myself.
Now I better get a start on checking my students work... tomorrow I'll work on the house.
Till tomorrow!
XOXO
