Breathing Space

I refuse to allow any guilt over taking some breathing space over the holidays. Do you hear that Mr Guilt? I am not listening to your insidious whispers.

I needed the rest, to allow myself to recover from everything that’s been happening, personally, family, work, health … and I feel so much better for it. Today is the first day I have sat at my desk, even turned on my computer, since the 23rd December – over a week!

I have watched ALL the xmas movies, I have eaten (un)healthily, I have enjoyed time with my partner, I finished crocheting a lap blanket for him and started a scarf for myself, I have bought books with the intention of reading (it’s what I am going to do today), and I have started my Snow White jigsaw which I want to glue and frame when it’s done.

I’ve done necessary stuff too, decluttering & tidying mostly. It’s always good when my partner visits as it’s kicks my ass into gear to clean up.

But mostly I have rested.
