As part of my quest to slow down, and create a contemplative lifestyle, I was determined to take the weekend off, and I succeeded!!
I slept in on Saturday and woke up full of ideas that were work-related. So I did spend about an hour writing them down so they would not be forgotten, but after that, I was done for the weekend.
I slept in each day, I meditated each day, and drank quite a bit of tea. I watched movies, I cooked, I invited a friend over for lunch on Sunday, I made a special family meal for Labor Day and had a wonderful time!
Making Time for Contemplation
What I’m most pleased about, though, are the times I spent relaxing, reflecting and not doing anything more complicated than staring out the window as the wind blew the trees around. I spent lots of time contemplating the golden glow covering the trees as the sun gently began descending.
I finished a Jane Austen novel and started a Jane Austen sequel!
Every time I was tempted to get something done, I would ask myself what would happen if I didn’t get it done. Each time, I found I could live with the consequences.
Now, I need to work on doing that every weekend!!
See you tomorrow!
Jeanine
