Carpe Diem


Sometime in the next week, take a day off to do nothing but enjoy yourself.

Call in sick.  Play hookie.

Give yourself permission.  



Hit the beach.

Read a book.

Mani, pedi, facial and massage.

Go on a road trip.

And then post about it.

I did it today.  There's something extra special about taking a day without much planning, when everyone else is going about their normal routine, just to have fun.

  1. I agree...it's so good for the soul!
    So, what'd ya do?

    I didn't get to comment on yesterday's post - your house is looking fabulous and I love the columns and capitals you chose. Sometimes, understated makes more of a statement.

  5. Good for you! Sometimes this is just what the doctor (or, in my case, therapist) ordered. I need to follow my own advice, I guess. Once my daughter heads off to college in your neck of the woods in early September, I will take a day, just for me. Fall is a good time to do this.

    I love seeing your project progress. I agree with Sarah, sometimes the understatement is perfect. It asks us to pay closer attention.
