Keeping Things in Perspective



I was scheduled to spend this weekend retreating in the mountains at the lovely farmhouse pictured here, but my body had other plans... so I am retreating in my bed instead!


This morning I was so upset, trying to decide whether to push myself and just get in the car for the 6 hour drive or surrender and hop back in bed. I was getting all worked up about it and then I thought, "Hold on a second! Take a breath. This is not some life-changing decision!" I realized I was placing way too much importance on this choice. Honestly, if my biggest problem today is to decide whether to go away for a weekend of yoga or stay in bed for a weekend of rest then I am doing really well! Sometimes I get so wrapped up in day-to-day stuff, I lose sight of the big picture.


Coming soon: how to have your very own retreat without leaving home (and other blog posts about something besides me being sick, I promise)

The upside of being sick

I am feeling soooo sick, but in the spirit of staying positive here are a few good things about feeling under the weather...

* Permission to stay in bed all day and do nothing

* Being reminded of how amazing my husband is as he takes care of me and brings me tea, sherbert, etc. while I stay in bed whining about how sick I am

* Seeing my daughter's sweet and honest concern for me and giggling with her while we play Monopoly in bed

* Wearing sweatpants for days on end

* Being able to watch Oprah

* Reading all day long with no guilt

* Naps

* Appreciating my usually healthy self

Hope you're feeling well today!
