This last weekend I decided to take a break from social media and the internet and immerse myself in other things. Every now and again I need a break from it all and to block everything out and this last weekend I was needing that break. Hence my Sunday series being posted on Monday.
My husband works away from home and is only home on weekends, and we like to make the most of his time home. This weekend we both sort of ignored our phones and laptops as much as we could, and did chores and spent quality time together and hung out with the kids. As a family we went for a picnic to Bellhouse Park, spent time in the greenhouses and with my in-laws who live with us, and we played games of crib in the evening. I have a little notebook that I keep track of our scores in. We are pretty evenly matched and help each other out. I even got to bed early last night so I could start the week off positively and with the energy to be motivated.
Taking those few days off really recharged me and I’m back to my daily grind with more motivation and determination than before. I’m excited about everything I’m working on and can’t wait to release them into the world.
This week's quotes, to honour my needing a break, are all about needing to take a break and how restorative that can be.
