Take Some 'Me' Time

How do you spend your 'Me' time? 

Do you soak in a hot bubble bath? Do you hop on your bike and go for a ride around the neighborhood? Do you sweat it out of the gym? Do you grab your girlfriends and hit the shops? Do you curl up with a good book and tune out the world? Do you fill your kitchen with the glorious smells of home baking? Do you spend your time creating beautiful crafty pieces?

I like to hide myself away for my 'Me' time. I love having an empty house, but an empty room will do. I will get dressed in my softest clothes to spend time with myself - usually shorts and a hugely oversized, and well washed, sweatshirt. I will always have some great scented candles burning. I spend my time getting to do what I want without feeling guilty about it - catching up on a novel, catching up on a favourite TV series... my 'Me' time is usually about catch up... but that's the way I like it.

How about you? What do you do with your 'Me' time?

To Me

Happy Birthday

List It

There is something wonderfully comforting about creating lists.

Shopping lists - To do lists - Wish lists

Today I hope to put together a major, and minor, to do list, and then I hope to knock off some of the things on the list too.

The last 3 months..

I've just come back from a meeting with my research supervisors. They wanted a run down on what I have achieved in the last 3 months. I, of course, panicked and thought that I haven't done enough since I started my research but it got me thinking... what have I been doing over the last 3 months?

• I've started a Masters in research
• I've moved house - twice
• I spent Christmas at home with my family
• I went for a romantic weekend to Paris with Tom
• I booked a summer holiday for August, well Sonya did it for me
  
• I started training regularly for archery
• I've started this blog

When you look at what you can do in such a small space of time it really makes you think...

I'm proud of what I have achieved since November...

Whether you have climbed your proverbial mountain in the past months, or or just keep the ball rolling in your life, be proud of each achievement you accomplish.
