Thank you
firstly to everyone who offered Y and Z suggestions to get me over the line for
the last two posts in this A – Z Challenge.
Yesterday was
Sunday. But it wasn’t just any other
Sunday. No. Yesterday was a Sunday with a purpose. It was also the fourth day of a loooong
weekend for me beginning with Anzac Day here in Australia. I attended my first Dawn Service that
day...... but that’s another story.
I have been
over-working. It’s true. It happens often for me and I have to be very
careful to ensure I counterbalance the work with “me time”. Usually that encompasses exercise, friend and
family time, writing, photography, movies and relaxation. Things have been out of whack lately and I
ended up with chest pain. I know!
I thought it
was anxiety but not like I’d ever experienced before. Luckily, a trip to the doctor informed me it
was actually digestive. I also have high
cholesterol levels. What?! So now, exercise and diet are necessary for
more reasons than one. Nothing like
hitting rock bottom to kick you in the butt!
Just what I needed.
The other
thing I needed was my BFF to take me by the hand to the day spa to soak in the
mineral pool and spa, lazily massaging our muscles against the jets, talking
talking talking. Soooo gooood. When then treated ourselves to the lovely
products on offer to moisturise and soothe our skin afterwards. Next, a leisurely long lunch, and more
talking........ it’s what girl’s do best!
A relaxing walk and window shop followed topping off the most amazing morning. Thanks J!
I ended the
long weekend feeling so relaxed and ready to start the week (another short
week!). Now, just to maintain
it.........
What is the
strangest thing you do for relaxation???
