Every day, I'm exhausted. So much to do, so little time I have. Isn't this typical of what we say? I know I feel this and say it a lot lately. A couple of days ago, I looked at our pictures files to develop. There was one picture that was stuck in my head. It was a picture of Ethan and me, taken in January 2012 when we played in the backyard, building a snowman. There I looked at my little man who was so cute and happy. I looked happy too. But there was more. I looked at how pale my face was, how tired my eyes looked, and how no fresh I was overall.
I realized that I had not been taking good care of myself for the past few years. Oftentimes, I forgot how to relax and take the time to really just rest . . . until I was sick a couple of weeks ago. Nothing major. It's just a cold but the cold hasn't really gone until now and it's not a type of me being sick. I'm usually the healthiest in the family but I guess it finally takes a toll on me. People started to mention how tired I look and it's just like a confirmation, isn't it?
It is not too late, I tell myself.
Changes have to be made. My husband and I have been talking about changes that we need to make in life and we are working through them. Maybe first, I need to try not to work on the weekend. I've seen a few Etsy shops lately that are closed on weekends and holidays. Maybe I should do that, eh?
Do you like the print above? I just found this Going Place 2 shop today and really love this shop. Check it out when you get a chance!

Using a day completely doesn't mean to work all day, right? We postpone that plan for later :D but we've heard thats just normal for a start up's first years...
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by, Nauli :-)
DeleteI have to start to not working all day or worrying about the house chores, perhaps keeping an hour a day less at my craft room to just enjoy reading my craft magazine. I haven't done this for a long time. Lol.
