I frequently get caught up in the go-go-go of life and forget to take a moment for myself. I can rationale always being “busy” or blame it on my FOMO but regardless of my excuse, I recognize it isn’t healthy. When Erik took the boys and dogs out to Mt Hood for ski training, all of a sudden I was thrust into a lot of “me” time and I have to admit, it was wonderful. My last two weeks consisted of time to myself, time with friends, mountain biking, breakfast for dinner, organizing various rooms, sleeping in, and whatever I wanted. Today, marks my last day of two weeks without my husband, kids, or dogs (or as Erik calls it: “the traveling circus”). I’m ready for the family to come home but hope to make this an annual tradition of me time.
