We've had a busy few weeks, I'm feeling run down and need to recharge. I cancelled something that I had on today, have told my son he's own his own as far as entertaining himself and am sitting here with my laptop and a book. I rarely do this, but today, I just need to.Kezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915193876879614644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-83403448089682676322009-08-25T12:41:15.421-04:002009-08-25T12:41:15.421-04:00Wow, I've been thinking about this a lot latel...Wow, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm dreading the onslaught of activities fall brings. TKD three times a week, kids club, Bible studies, Sunday School, youth group, theatre group, acting class - it's enough to make me want to crawl into bed and pull the covers over my head! I've been struggling with how to say no to being involved with so many different things without feeling guilty. <br /><br />You are right, we need to take time to regroup, rest and breathe without feeling out of breath from rushing from one thing to the next. Downtime is a must for me, I know, otherwise the ogre inside creeps out and nobody is happy.<br /><br />Reading, relaxing in the tub, having a short nap on the couch, and going for a walk are some ways I take a little time for myself. Not all at once, just here and there as I need it. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342055265414788942noreply@blogger.com
