Have you ever wondered what a previous version of yourself would think of who you’ve become?  Or have you ever tried to revive a piece of your former self?

What did I do before I had kids, a dog, a husband, a house?  How much down time did I have, and what did I do?  This spring, I had a hard time remembering.  So despite my nagging guilt, following the completion of a big side job (I also work full time), I took a day off and tried to do “nothing” by myself for the first time in a very long time.  I ate Spaghettios and watched the first season of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.  It was amazing.

It made me appreciate my new-ish interest in cooking real food rather than living on little more than Ramen and canned pasta.  But it also reminded me how good my soul feels to have some real time to breathe.  I am learning to prioritize a little me time over clean floors.  And that includes this blog.  Thank you for hanging in there as I’ve fallen off the wagon this year.  Look for more frequent posts to come!
