“It’s quite possible
to leave your home for a walk in the early morning air and
return a different
person—beguilded, enchanted.” –Mary Chase
Today, I treated myself to an early-morning walk; enjoying
the August air upon my face, soft gray skies and near stillness. And,
yes, I did return home feeling somewhat charmed.
You see…I actually scheduled vacation time away (for today)
from the 9 to 5. That’s right,
today is all mine! Just shy of three weeks, and I am already embarking on, yet another, artist’s date.
Sometimes, a girl’s just gotta do stuff like this;
especially given that it’s been a busy past few months, and I am in the process
of crafting an outline for my second book. If I can dedicate a day, half-day, hour, or even a block of
a few minutes (here and there) to replenishing my own spirit, I get it back
tenfold. Those around me do as
well; since, when I am feeling relaxed and revitalized, I am wholly able to put
my best self forward.
In addition to this morning’s early a.m. walk in nature, I secured
a ticket to a late morning/early afternoon tea/brunch/herb garden tour at a
local museum. Going to dress up, wear a hat, carry my vintage straw bag--the
whole shebang. I plan on wrapping
the afternoon up by reading in bed; which Tabitha (my lovely diva tabby cat)
will likely partake in as well.
What’s your next artist’s date look like? Would love to hear about it! T.
