Well so much for daily blogging. I was in San Diego when I decided this would be a good idea. The problem came when I watched three water polo games and then had to drive home on Saturday. That day was out completely. The idea of taking 10 minutes to slow down and reflect though hasn't been lost.
I had plenty of time while driving to reflect. It wasn't exactly meditation, but it was time to myself to reflect. Stephen was in the backseat doing homework so I didn't have music on or conversation. I do like the idea of taking 10 minutes for myself everyday. Sometimes I feel so guilty if I'm not doing something at all times. It's good to remember that taking a few minutes every day is just as important.
I have also figured out it's not going to work to try to take that time while the family is home. It seems any time I'm busy, everyone is fine. But as soon as I want to take a minute for something quiet, everyone needs something. So rather than try to fight it, I'm going to take the time during the day while everyone is at school or work to find my time.
I'm off to crossfit in a few minutes so I better go unload the groceries. But I have enjoyed my few minutes of quiet.
