166/365: Time to read

Today I am exhausted.  For some reason I just feel drained.  So, when R went down for her nap, instead of trying to get a thousand things done like I normally do, I decided to sit on the sofa, look out the window, and read.  It was great.  I definitely enjoyed the peace and quiet and the chance to escape into my book.  It is funny, because I realize that the biggest barrier to moments like that is actually ME!  Because I always feel like I have to do 5 million things whenever I get a time like that!  So i’m learning how to just relax and enjoy.  Feels good.


99/365: A good book

I have recently gotten into a book over the last several days, and have been hooked. It feels good. Better than good: awesome. I haven’t been hooked on a book in a long time! It even got me to exercise 55 minutes two days in a row (that is A LOT for me!)

So today’s simple beauty is: a REALLY good book that SUCKS you in!
