Just Breathe

I had a great idea for writing this blog, but it seems to have escaped me.

Here's something else that escaped me, but I think I'm getting it now...

I've been under the impression that I needed to fill my newly open time with things to do.

However, I don't. It's okay to just work. I'm so used to keeping myself so busy with school & work and everything else, I've forgotten how to relax. How to..."Just Breathe". One of my favorite quotes, I try to remind myself to breathe all the time. Slow down. Enjoy it.

But I forget that quite often.

Now I have the chance to relax, not stress out, just enjoy life for a bit. Life has its ups & downs, ebbs & flows. This is, I think, one of those resting periods in my life.

I'll (hopefully) be looking back on this time thankful that I got to relax for a bit.

So for now, I'm learning that I really do enjoy simply going to work, coming home, making dinner & watching TV. So completely peaceful & 'normal'. I get to spend more time with the people I love.

I also get to take naps. I forgot how much I love naps :)

It's just another learning experience, but maybe it's an important one.
