Momday Musings

Well, I came here to write my message about pampering and taking time for you, but I have to be honest.

Momdays are the only day of the week that I don’t have my children with me. Which means, it’s the only day of the week that I can work like a maniac without interruption.

And so every time I came here to consider what bits of inspiration I could write, I was sent away by my own quitly knowingness that I, on Momday, would be choosing not to do ANYTHING for myself other than GET STUFF DONE.

And sometimes that, too, is a part of how we look after ourselves. The peaceful state of being when things are in order is awfully therapeutic. Some say production is the basis of morale. I agree. I mean, it’s not that I need a day at the spa to feel pampered.

You want to know the truth?

Yesterday the only time I got up from this crazy little fold up computer I carry around with me was to pee and to eat. Even then, most times I’d bring the fruit back here to eat.

But, at a certain point, I actually decided that I should take a few moments for myself. Just a few. And so what I did, was I peeked at something I’d been putting off reading. My super spunky friend Ellen Atkin, recently treated me to an astrology chart. All I had to do what submit the day, place and time of my birth. I received an 8 page report, and I haven’t read it all yet, but what I did read, just about FLOORED ME!

I couldn’t BELIEVE it.

If I could cut and paste, I would, and you’d say, “Oh my GOSH! That is SO you!!”

I’m totally going to get my other charts done, and I’ve figure out a new technique for internet dating! First message I’m just going to ask what time they were born, send the info in to Ellen for my compatibility chart and take it from there.

Hehe…

Seriously, though, treat yourself to an adventure. It costs less than a chocolate addiction and it’s calorie free! What’s more, it really makes you look up at the stars in a whole new way.

Even though the time I took “for myself” yesterday was a matter of minutes and even then I didn’t leave this work corner, I took it. Like I said, I’m easy to please. Sometimes it’s enough to just have a change of perspective and I’m smiling.

Besides, today when I go outside and feel the sun on my face and take my kids in my arms, how much more will I appreciate the warmth and tender smiles?
