My Mother Told Me There’d be Days Like This

And for the most part, I didn’t believe her!

I’ve had two really high energy days and figured I’d just continue on my roll. Getting things done and feeling good about myself are my highest priorities these days.

When I woke up this morning I had great plans for day 2 of of my Wonder Woman Challenge. I was going to go to the lake and take some fresh photos, and then I was going to walk down to the bookstore and pick up some books for my reading challenges. Seeing the snow piled up and how bad the roads were pretty much canceled out that idea.

I figured, no problem, for my creative self love today I’ll just work with my photos and do some new cards. Since I already write every day and play the piano every day, I really wanted to do something different. And since one of my goals this year is to create an online store with some of my photography, I figured that was as good a creative task for today as any. Only it’s been so long since I’ve done any graphic work, and I’ve gotten a new computer since the last time I did, I couldn’t find the cd with all my software on it. So no new cards today either.

It seems that the Universe had already decreed that today would be a crash day for me. The best self-care I could give myself was sleep, and so that’s pretty much what I did all day. It certainly wasn’t the day I had planned for myself, but I’m learning that self-care means listening to your body and when it says stop now, it really means stop now. And today I loved myself enough to give myself a day off.
