I took a nap today! Yes, me!! The one that thinks that sleeping is wasting time.
I am forcing myself to some times do nothing! I have so many plan and ideas and I want to do them all now! But reality is, often times, I am busy, busy, busy with 300 different things and in the end I accomplish nothing.
I do lack focus, just one of the many things that I am trying to work on.
Just a quiet Sunday. Breakfast with the paper. Oh and speaking of the newspaper: Last weekend I was reading the Real Estate Section and saw the question and answer section, so I decide to e-mail the NY Times to ask them to answer a question that I have been pondering over for the last few months.
They say they cannot reply to your e-mail and will answer the question only in the paper. I wasn’t sure when and even if that they would answer. So you can imagine my shock when I opened the paper yesterday and there is my question and the answer! I am so truly impressed! Thank you NY Times!!
Anyway, continuing with my Sunday, after breakfast I had my Pilates session, which I can’t stop raving about it. Then ran some errands, then decided to go the park to get a beach and park pass. That is where that picture above is from.
Got home without the pass because didn’t realize that they need 2 proofs of residency. Oh well, but it was good just going there and getting the fresh air.
I worked a little bit on my mosaic project. Read a couple of chapters on a couple of books, took a nap.
There was something so luxurious and calming about it. The idea that the world is going at many miles an hour and I decided to stop and do absolutely nothing just felt incredible!
I recommend it!!
Blessed with a Star on the Forehead 
Great way to spend Sunday in my opinion. Good for you :)!!!

You are right! As you have mentioned in your post “Social media, writing, and keeping up with it all” there is always that feeling that I will be missing something!! 🙂

Isn’t that the truth… I’ve just decided that some things are going to get missed and there’s nothing I can do about it 8). But that’s ok. Sometimes we need to step back. Brains are only meant to absorb so much.

yes I really that the best way to miss something is to try to do too much at all times. We have to learn to allow ourselves to just be!

I’m amazed you were able to nap. I, too, stay busy with 100s of to-dos and I simply can’t take a nap. My brain starts firing like crazy everytime I put my ead down…lol What is your secret?

I forced myself!!! I told myself that I was going to lay down and just pay attention to my breath (you know something like meditating) for 10 minutes and I woke up 2 hours later. I know what they say about advice, but here is my to you, you should slow down every now and then, it makes an amazing difference. And everyone will still love you and think you are the greatest! I promise!

Still here, missed my train. It is amazing how our brains work, as long as we have the feeling that we are being productive then all is fine! But in this case I have to agree that commenting on my blog trumps Ebay any day!
Take Pilates one day and then we will talk. but not just the mat workout, you have to do one session on the Reformer with a great instructor!
