Take The Break You Need

 Hi friends!

Exciting things have been happening. One of them is that my blog has reached over one thousand views and counting which is huge! Before I go on I just want to say thank you to each and everyone of you who reads my blog as I work very hard on each post. I appreciate your support more than you will ever know 🙏 

This weekend I made a decision that it was time for a break so I packed a bag or two ( you never know what you might need 😉 ) and head to Indiana for a quick overnight visit along with my dad, since that’s where his side of the family lives. Even though it was quick I still had the best time. I did lots of laughing, I found some new shows I love to watch, I fed fish in a beautiful pond for the first time which was fun for me, I seen a pecan tree, a persimmon tree and a pear tree along with some gorgeous colorful flowers. I know that may sound silly to some but when you find new things you enjoyed learning about it’s exciting. I also am not one to typically go outside much so it’s kind of a big deal for me. I somehow found it to be peaceful and while I felt at ease I also felt relaxed which is a very rare feeling for me. I personally struggle with anxiety so relaxing doesn’t exactly come natural to me. 

Even though I stopped at Dairy Queen on the way home only to find out they were out of Reese cups so I could not get a blizzard was disappointing and is a crime in my book lol I realized on the ride home how much that little getaway had a big impact on me for the better. I put in my earbuds and listened to beautiful piano music on the way home to which I am a huge fan of. I also highly recommend it. I find it to be very relaxing and peaceful as I listen to it. I even shed a tear or two because of how beautiful it was. I tend to be an emotional person and feel deeply. 

I believe everything happens for a reason and I believe that it was meant for me to go this weekend. In a way I feel it helped me a little bit through the stage of grief I am currently struggling in even if it was just a major distraction or maybe even so much more than I even realize right now. It’s odd how something like that can have such a huge impact in that way. It also was a great reminder that it’s important to spend time with your loved ones and to also take that break you might just need! 

X,
