When life gets busy, we tend to stop doing some of the things we really enjoy. I am lucky to be busy with a very busy grandson who I love as much as he loves me. I am blessed I know. But there are some things that I have put aside to spend more time with him. Like reading. I am tired at the end of the day (meaning, when he finally gets to sleep), and I have put reading aside. But I am going to change that habit, as I’ve done with other things recently, and make a commitment to myself to read at least 30 minutes a day. I am starting today!

Remember, we all need time for ourselves to recharge and we need to do things that help us recharge – whether it be reading, knitting, working on a puzzle or going for a walk – anything that calms us and makes us feel better helps us recharge.
