I have been quite busy for the last two weeks. Circumstances meant that instead of working 17.5 hours as I usually do, I had to go to work on Thursday and Friday as well. I know that lots of people do this all the time, but I find it quite hard to have no time in the house during the week.
Today I had a day off. There were lots of things that needed to be done, but I decided to have a slow day. Not that I did nothing. I did lots of little jobs around the house. But I have found that habits of rushing are easy to get in to and hard to stop. I needed to go to the library and nearly jumped into the car to drive there. If I had done this the job would have been finished in 15 minutes. But then I stopped to think. I had an hour before the next thing I needed to do, so I walked. I need to remember to stop and take life a bit more slowly when I can. I need the exercise and it was a lovely sunny day, so I really enjoyed my walk. It is so easy to rush from one thing to the next, but it is better for us to take things a bit slower when we can. Healthier for our bodies and our minds.
It's a good job that I'm at home tomorrow as well, as the housework didn't get finished today. Maybe tomorrow I will get it done!
