After a fuller week than I have had in a long long time, I can’t wait for Saturday! On which day there is absolutely nothing on my calendar or to-do list! I’ve gotten really good at protecting weekends and even most evenings. That is my time to read, reflect, watch TV, do puzzles, cook, check in with friends and family and sit around doing nothing. I hope you, too, are learning to remove the spinning wheel from your life and slow it down to a pace our capitalist society has tried to make a distant memory.
So ask me why I returned home after supporting the grand opening of my daughter’s @yeppopup, two trips to a retreat I was facilitating in the N. Ga mountains (with a lovely Corinne Bailey Rae concert back in Atlanta in between which was a Kwanzaa gift so I had to be there), to a day with meetings from 8:30 am – 6:30 pm followed by a 7 pm birthday dinner scheduled for my son who requested my tofu pot pie and mac ‘n cheese. I’m sure you don’t care to hear the details only to say that cooking that pie involves a whole bunch of steps and there is no greater compliment than having two vegan sons who request your dairy mac ‘n cheese once or twice a year!. Somehow I pulled it off and the tofu pot pie was coming out of the oven at 8:00. At which time the last child arrived so happy to have not missed the meal…..AND never again!..will I cram a day like that – when I have the power not to cram, that is. And BTW, that pot pie was really good. I’m making the birthday man one of his very own this weekend. Cause that’s what I WANNA do!
Here are 3 ways to avoid overloading your days or to-do’s, especially after being away from your regular routine.
