We're getting ready to move in a month. We're busy trying to do some home renovations before we move in. Needless to say, things have been crazy. I woke up Saturday feeling terrible. It was then that I realized, I barely had any rest, down time in the week. Sunday while my husband golfed, I watched a girly move and relaxed. I definitely needed it.<br /><br />Thank you for this reminder. We can't help others if we don't take care of ourselves, right?<br /><br />How are you going to keep this zen feeling up? Do you have pockets in each day where you can relax, meditate and recharge. <br /><br />Thanks so much again for sharing. I'm hoping I can proceed with my move without having any more crashes. <br /><br />:) AmandaAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726536089761658928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-23760287293038937152011-08-01T04:04:19.918-04:002011-08-01T04:04:19.918-04:00Good on you for looking after yourself, something ...Good on you for looking after yourself, something we all have to get better at! <br /><br />Thanks for your comment on my blog, i wrote you a short reply which i'll cut and paste here for you.<br /><br />keep up the great blogging :)<br /><br /><br />Thanks for the comment Sue, If you hadn't admitted it I would have thought it was me who was behind (I'm sure I am somewhere on the internet)! <br /><br />Yes only 7 pills, not sure if that is good or bad, but I am slowly trying new things out and only keen to try one thing at a time. So it's slow going..but then again I think we are all used to going slowly by now!<br /><br />Go you and the mascara, I don't put it on a lot, but it's nice to feel 'girly' once in a while. (even if no one else notices!)<br /><br />'The crash mess' can get pretty nasty especially depending on the length of the crash ... :/<br /><br />I am pretty good at the moment. I think I may have finally found my 'base level' of energy and the ups and downs are evening out a bit.<br /><br />Take Care<br /><br />KiwikchatXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07736967406360912646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-8711374704611116862011-07-31T22:13:26.043-04:002011-07-31T22:13:26.043-04:00Sounds like you had a great week!Sounds like you had a great week!Baffledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16763003920036754454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-54775024672788359712011-07-31T12:10:17.505-04:002011-07-31T12:10:17.505-04:00Glad you got to pamper yourself a little...Glad you got to pamper yourself a little...Keenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04872631822031248926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-89141152843215614222011-07-30T19:33:08.489-04:002011-07-30T19:33:08.489-04:00I love it when I get the house to myself...you'...I love it when I get the house to myself...you're right, it gives us a chance to take care of ourselves....even the respite from the social I think is good once and a while.

Watched "chick flicks" in the day time and indulged my infatuation with Matthew Morrison of Glee on tv and my computer.<br /><br />He is so darn romantic. Let's see - I'm 70 and he's 32. That's not too big of an age gap,<br /><br />My husband and kids and grandkids are due here in an hour. Better go pick up a little.Susan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130464555894945437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-26153261558119296382011-07-30T13:10:37.793-04:002011-07-30T13:10:37.793-04:00It sounds like your friend is very wise.

Thanks for the reminder; it's a lesson I need to repeatedly learn as well. :)Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068094486297918345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-68020404729856802122011-07-29T17:13:34.204-04:002011-07-29T17:13:34.204-04:00Sounds like you had a fun week and kudos to you fo...Sounds like you had a fun week and kudos to you for stepping back and taking care of yourself!
