I am truly making progress. Now there are times when I actually choose to pause. Awesome! In this regard my husband Mark has been very instrumental. He encourages me to take advantage of "down time" and that attitude is starting to rub off on me.
Mondays are currently my no training day. After work I make no plans and I try to take the time to do what feels right. Tonight that was a brief stop at Starbucks for an iced tea lemonade with Mark and a nice chat while we sat out on their patio.
After a dinner of leftovers we took a trip to the library.While Monday is not a day for training, it is certainly a day I can read about getting my butt in gear!
I paused outside the library to admire one perfect daffodil. I just love the form of daffodils.Then, as we were leaving the library I noticed our flag against a radiant blue sky. I paused once again to take the photo.
Next, on our way home, a stop at Dunkin' Donuts for a free medium iced tea for me and a free medium iced coffee for Mark. Refreshing!
As the evening wears on, there will be a bit of school work, but I am relaxed and have allowed myself the time to pause. It really feels so good!
