i've been honoring my girly side with pink scarfs, yoga classes with a friend (we giggle IN CLASS how embarrassing are we), loose braids, hours chatting with my nearest and dearest girlfriend, and quiet moments alone at the beach. all of these things are very needed at the moment.
Good you take your time to charge the batteries.
ReplyDeleteI can understand the time is needed - here as well but we have all been quite ill and now the kids and I need time for recovery and they stay home (which I am usually enjoying) but I feel my nerves are not as strong as they are usually and this leads to sometimes unpleasant discussions and these lead to me feeling being the worst mom ever... sigh...
hope all is ok.
ReplyDeletethinking of you.
cheryl xox.
all is well...i just live in a house full of boys. x
DeleteOh, us mom's have very busy and draining lives and we do indeed need recharging from time to time to keep us going. Life is busy, complicated and everything else. We must learn to quiet down and breathe deeply and refocus......I'm still learning this so it is a lifelong process to learn to take care of ourselves so we can take care of others around us. Wonderful photo's.
ReplyDeleteLove Ya, Mom
I promise myself to find my "girlie" side too! Stress has really be unkind to me and it's time to retake my life! Thank you for the ideas. <3

ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite like the beach to make everything seem better.
ReplyDeleteIf only I looked as lovely as you while I was sitting there!!

ReplyDeleteYou need a little girl to complete your family. It is hard being the only female in a home.
ReplyDeleteOh, how glorious to live by the sea. You're so lucky. Love for yoga classes, girl friends and me time x
ReplyDeletegood for you to take a little time. we all need some time to ourselves. and i think i would giggle throughout yoga class too!
ReplyDeleteMan, I wish I had the money to fly down to AU and jut spend some girly time with all of you! I definitely need it too, and am very glad you were able to take some great time to yourself and "reset", as they say.
