Re: Take Ten For Yourself

i ran me a hot tub again tonight. i had a pint of water in one hand, my book in the other and relaxed my way through chapter 20. i'm heading to bed in a few minutes and i do believe handel will be playing as i drift off.

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

Haven't had a second for myself today (or for ADBB, until now), but am going to a concert of my son's this evening... and the music is oh so relaxing (well the Mozart is... maybe not the Shostakovich (spelling?)). Hope I don't fall asleep!

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

No time to take ten for the last 2 days. I guess my ten are divided my a minute here and there throughout the day. LOL!

Hi Jimmie,

I just noticed this thread and it's kind of ironic because I had just posted in Sherri's thread about how great it is that she takes such long walks and just appreciates the nature around her, etc. - and I actually wrote to her that I need to start taking time to smell the roses myself.

So, I guess it all has come together - finding this thread. I'm going to try and stop and relax, but I don't think it will be until Sunday afternoon!!! (You can read my journal if you want to know why - just crazy busy like everyone else is.)

But Sunday afternoon I think I'm going to take a LONG BATH and use some of the bath stuff my husband gets me for every birthday, Christmas, anniversary, etc. It's funny he gets it for me - I haven't had time to take a real bath in 6 years I think, but I guess he hasn't noticed!!

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

wendy, i love hot bath soaks especially in the colder months. i have some shopping to do in the morning. i think i'll be picking up some smelly good stuff for my soaks. thanks for bringin that to mind.

it's good to see the thread will be useful for another overworked, overstressed bud [[[[[[[wendy]]]]]]

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

I've been doing it, just haven't posted. Yesterday I took a walk, no ipod, no dog, no daughter, just me, my thoughts and breathing.

Today I got off work early, so came home, had a nice lunch and read a book for 30 minutes. I love to read, but seldom have time anymore.

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

no need to posts unless you happen to buzz by or feel the need, caryl. part of taking ten is not feeling the pressure to post to every little thing.

you did great with the "no" part of your time.

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

Good morning everybody. I am about to take ten this morning by taking a nice long soak in the tub. The children are at school and I can soak as long as I like. Hope you all have a wonderful Friday!

Re: Take Ten For Yourself

I dropped my houseguests for ten today... just walked around the garden on my own. Nice.
