Day 166: Vacation Recovery

I decided to take a couple of days to recover from my two vacations. Nothing major - just letting myself sleep in, doing the most needful things in the house, making sure I am eating healthy & walking...but I got to thinking this afternoon - was that the right move?

Maybe instead of easing back into reality I should be jumping right back in?

Maybe since Steve was taking today off from work (& the kiddos were hanging out with him), I should have tackled some projects?

Then I started wondering if I am just plain lazy. or bored. or not focused. or tired.

Maybe all of the above?

Or maybe, this is just what happens when we get done with a vacation. I mean, for over a week I have not had a set schedule. I did a ton of stuff, but I wasn't living by the clock or a schedule (actually that was pretty nice...I wonder if super rich people live like that all the time?).

I find myself wondering if I need to revamp my schedule. Wondering how I can better motivate myself. Wondering if the real answer is just spending more time studying my scriptures and going to bed on time every night.

I think a lot about my teenage years, my college years and how life drastically changed as a married person and then as a mother. I am also painfully aware that keeping to my schedule was easiest when the youngest was a year old and sleeping through the night. Sigh. Miss those days - who would have thought???

I even contemplated changing my basic thesis for my year long walking journey.

Nothing has changed, but this - I can't make any changes in my life until I get back on my normal schedule! why? Because what ever change I made would be based on something that hardly ever happens - a vacation. If after a few weeks of doing school & all the other stuff, I still feel like I need to make changes - fine, but then it will be based on reality, not a vacation!

With that said, I am going to bed on time tonight!

Happy  Walking!
