Treat yourself to a do nothing day

Find a day to do nothing!

I hope every person has an entire day to do only what they want to do. I had a day like that today; my grandson is here and all I did was play. He is an angel baby and so good, I feel half guilty.

Did I waste a day? Yes, in that it was not “productive,” but no, I did not waste the day…I enjoyed every minute!
Did I deserve a day with no pressure? Probably not!
Did I appreciate every moment? Yes!
Did I accomplish a thing? No!
Do I care? No!
Was it good for my mental health? Absolutely!
I want all of you to find a day, or part of a day, that can be just yours. Do nothing significant; make yourself special. You deserve it!
Until the next time: Live while you live!
