Post-holidays and taking some time

What to do with a vacation week? I have no plans. I used to feel bad about not having plans, so I'd quickly cook up some stuff to do: hockey game, museum trip, shopping sales, etc. That is a whole lot of busy! And I feel pretty glad in some ways I don't have an itinerary this week. Covid taught me a whole lot, I think. Why would I want to go mingle with hundreds of other people in an enclosed area? And more importantly, why did I feel I needed to do so? Social pressure, and an artificial ticking time clock, are so demanding. During the past two Covid winters, I also had to take care of my father's needs, as well, which filled some days and weeks past what they could hold. Enough, already.

I still like doing fun things, but I don't think I need to pack them all into the week after Christmas. I want to read, rest, and see what each day brings. I got some nice gifts videos I want to watch, so I will. 

Isn't that feeing? Just to claim the time to fill your own cup? My biggest goal right now is to achieve and maintain balance. This is a good week to start.

I hope you have a restful post-Christmas week.
