Day Seven
Wow! What a fun weekend! Did you girls have fun?
We started last week with a mental detox and for some of us a physical detox too. I know that I am growing right along with you! I enjoyed getting rid of negative thoughts and emotions and filling myself back up with good and positive things.
I had such a great experience with my detox bath, fresh fruit, almond butter, chocolate.... It was so rewarding to soak and slowly eat and enjoy my food. I think I need to slow down and enjoy my food more because that was DIVINE.
I woke up Saturday morning, I dressed up. It was a busy day, everything was non-stop. After all of our the day activities were over, I went on a date! My husband and I are trying to date more frequently. Dating is so much fun! I always forget what its like to spend time together. When my husband saw the fancy, black dress outfit I picked out for our date, he decided to take me out to a very nice place. He dressed up too! After a very slow and enjoyable dinner, we went to a movie, and then picked up our kids.
While we stayed and talked to the grandparents, my daughter came and asked me if I could play with her. I have to admit I struggle so much with playing! I did not end up making time on Friday... Busy working. Ugh. I'm a work in progress.
I took advantage of this opportunity. She wanted to play tag. So I did it. I ran, skirt and all, around the two levels of my parent's house. We played. After that, she wanted to play hide and seek, which is a favorite of hers. I realized though, I haven't played hide and seek for a very long time. This makes me sad because like I said, it is her favorite game. She laughed and had so much fun. And guess what? I did too..
I definitely need to play more!
Sunday is always such a short day, I always picture a slow and easy day, but rarely does that happen. My husband and I did have some time to eat dinner, watch a movie and enjoy dessert together. After everyone went to sleep, I grabbed my journal and did some writing.
As we start this new week, I want to remind you that the more you put into this experience, the more you will get out of it. This week we are going to begin stretching, stretching ourselves just a little farther than we have before. Pushing ourselves just a little bit more than normal. Stretching ourselves physically, mentally and emotionally.
Today I ask you to join me, stretch with me.
