Yesterday was my official, "first day of vacation" and my family and I all went to the zoo together.
I think it was while we were eating lunch on the lawn next to the grizzly bears that I thought, "there is no other place I'd rather be". I felt like I was breathing deeper than the last few weeks, I felt like I was smelling things better, I felt like I was hearing thing better & I was laughing, a lot more than I have been lately.
I really love my family so much, and I realized yesterday that quality time with them is such a
de-stresser for me. Today I'll be power washing the house and this weekend (other than Paradox goes metro of course) I'll be catching up on my long list of home projects that I want to finish this summer.
Starting Monday I'm going off the TV for a few weeks and am looking forward to the way that will help clear the noise in my head too, wish it would help with the voices in my head but nothing has yet.
Give all your family a hug today & tell them how precious they are to you!
See you on Sunday.
