make more time for myself

Just had a glorious week in North Wales.
It was blue sky weather and the scenery was just breath taking.
Lots of time standing and staring, feet in rivers and oceans, mountains, gardens and more trees than you thought possible.
Beautiful!!

was recently devoted to relaxing.
We booked a cottage in Laugharne and spent the best part of 5 days relaxing, walking, talking listening to music and catching up with DVD’s.
We really needed this time as it has been full on since the funeral.
Twas lovely.

We went away to a remote and extremely beautiful thatched cottage for New Year. I had intended to read lots and work on a tapestry but I mostly spent some of each evening staring at a huge and roaring open fire. Some walks, lots of rest and time out.

This week back at work and the gym has been bonkers though and undid the feelings of relaxation.
Soooo busy. This is the first chance I’ve had to record my musings and I’ve left some jobs unfinished to do this.
I’ll get there but I need to strive for balance…
I know that I need to give myself some time off the merry go round but I also value being busy and seeing friends.

Both of us have a horrid cold this weekend so I’ve done nothing but take time out!
Apart from making a big pot of veggie soup to make us feel better!

The tough get a massage and support from all who love her!!
I’ve been much better at scheduling my time and not wasting it since setting this goal. I am asking for help when I need it and trying to have one night at home where I do what I like.
Long may it last.

I have a great and busy life. It’s mostly all good but I sometimes schedule time with so many friends and activities that I run myself ragged.
I want to change this and get more balance.
