Post Vacation Glow AND Self-Care Challenge: Day One

May 25, 2009 candacemorris 11 Comments

I have a feeling that you want me to participate in this little experiment...so I'll try!
Today was Karen day all day! I took a nap with Laney and I let Steve change all the poopy diapers. Also, I had some chocolate, cherry coke, and a wee bit of wine (Delaney will thank me later).
And I allowed myself to feel loved by friends and family. Good day indeed!

Your pictures are SO beauty-full. Looks like such a wonderful weekend.

A part of me says, "don't do it! don't sign up! You can't do it!" Which is why I know I should do this challenge.

I was not feeling well today. It was hard to even get up to eat. However, I was inspired by the lilies I bought a few days ago.

I put the vase on the floor and took pictures lying down. This position made it possible for me to take the pictures, otherwise, I would have started to sweat and get sick from exhaustion!

Aah! I thought I didn't do anything today! Writing things down definitely helps me be more aware.

Thank you so much for this post!

Have a great day!

Seeing you looking so lovely with that glass of wine by the waves can't be real... it all looks so good.

Day One: Watched Dr. Who with my sun-kissed bride

hey ms candace
lovely pics, you're a genius. what i did today - FINALLY planted the flowers i bought on mother's day and had a good chat with neighbours on both sides of us. it was quite nice! unfortunately, it was followed by the making of a DISASTROUS meal. yuck. it's not very often that i pick a recipe that turns out NOT well at all...this one unfortunately did. oh well! as my hubby said 'they can't all be winners'...indeed.

Happy bday miss Karen! You bet I want to see you participate.

Steph - Thanks! Oh, and it WAS.

BK- Oh no! I am so sorry you were so unwell. I am moved by your story, thanks for sharing it. Get well!

EB- It felt seriously UNREAL and a bit UNFAIR. To be so blessed is to feel so small.

joelio - that was fun.

jordan- oh yay for planting! does that mean it's finally warming up there? i disbelieve you could make a bad meal...but wanted to tell you i am FINALLY working on implementing one of your shared recipes this week. wish me luck!

hehe
oh but i did. it makes me shudder to think of the taste actually...let me know how the cookin goes - i'm making homemade cobb salad for myself tonight (hardboiled eggs, rosemary ham, homemade balsamic vinegrette....mmmmm) since i'm solo - hubby is in Houston TX for training.

and yeah, it's FINALLY feeling like spring here. 24C today (or so), sweltering in the clinic (AC busted).

First, I would just like to say that your weekend looked wonderful. I wanted to jump through the screen and land on that very deck on the water.

Your challenge is great. Love the concept. I'm doing the 37 days of living intentionally, which is a little different, so I'll go ahead and give yours a try along with it.

I didn't post for the first day yesterday, as I didn't feel I had done anything that was just for me...UNTIL I turned the computer off and wrote in my journal. I always love to find where my disciplined journal-writing segments take me. I enjoyed it so much that when I thought I was done and all of what was in me had flooded the page, I went up stairs. Just as I was climbing into bed another thought danced into my mind that refused to be forgotten, so I climbed back out and down the stairs and scrawled out the last of my directionless entry. -C

P.S. Sorry for the long post!

Cassie!
I love long comments and I am so in love with your writing as self-care!

Be well!
