“Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.”
John Lennon
Loving this pearl of wisdom from John Lennon, this week, Spidey! Thank you!
If you recall my post on Wednesday, I was rather nervous about something… (I may be able to be a little less secretive in my Chai Chat tomorrow, but it won’t be full disclosure, unfortunately!)
Something that had been building for a long while.
And now it’s over, I can honestly say, it is, thankfully ‘the end’, at least for now. Because there will be sequel to this event, but, fingers crossed, not for a long while!
I have celebrated by doing pretty much nothing this weekend, as well as having a couple of glasses of well-deserved glasses of wine. Because my mind and body needed that release. And I need to ready myself for other challenges that have been languishing in my nerves and stress surrounding this last chapter.
So, tell me, how do you wind down after a particularly stressful situation?
Wishing you a wonderfully peaceful Sunday, Peeps!
But I Smile Anyway...

I am taking a mental health day today, myself; reading, reading emails etc. Then we’re going to Houston tonight for a “bookish” occasion. Relax is what I’m telling myself. Relief is what I’m seeking.

Does burying myself in a vat of chocolate count? Disappearing into a good book is another way of dealing with stress for me.

Yes, you have taken some hours free, and call it “done nothing”. Sis, you are great! 😉 You have well deserved every minute you will take free, because with the family and the “caged little monsters” you are scheduled twice, every day. Best wishes, Michael

I drink wine and cook. The details of the recipe and the effects of the wine help. Eating a good meal caps it.

Self care for me is often reconnecting with nature, or listening to meditative music. The music helps drown out the chatter in my brain. Wishing you peaceful relaxation, Ritu.
