Well yesterday I decided to stop. I was moving so quickly in my own life that I wasn't even paying attention to any of it. Every day I woke up and felt like I had to speed through and make it till the following day.
And yesterday I said no.
No Internet.
No working.
No distractions from living life.
Cause the reality is.… there will always be something to do. Another deadline, another pile of dirty clothes, another something. And frankly I don't want to remember this time in my life as the years I made no memories. Because all those 'other' things…are just on repeat forever in your life. But quality time…that's what stays with you when you're old and gray.
Yesterday was so lovely. I had lunch with my man and actually enjoyed it. I TASTED my food instead of just feeding myself to fulfill a task.
We bought a couch. And I watched my man put it together and make our house feel more like a home. And we sat on the couch and snuggled together. I can't even tell you how great it felt.
I made us dinner. And took time to enjoy cooking. Afterward we had hot cider and decided to sleep out in the living room so we could watch more 'How I Met Your Mother' and enjoy each other's company. It was so much fun to camp out together and just laugh and enjoy.
And although we're exhausted today {and both feeling the start of sick}, I honestly wouldn't trade last night for anything.
It's so important to just live sometimes. It feeds your soul and gives you the energy to do all that other 'stuff'.
Just live today.
