Setting Intentions
March 2023 Slice of Life challenge
My favorite type of weekend is one with nothing extra scheduled. All I ever want to do with my time off is relax the days away. Any combination of reading, working out, walking the dog and preparing for the week ahead is a welcome change from the hectic weekday work routine. This weekend is my ideal. I get to do things on my own schedule. I can wake up when my body decides it's ready because there will be no alarm set. I can ease into the day as slowly or as quickly as my state of mind decides. I do not long for the pre COVID busy, non-stop over scheduled weekends. I worry when those weekends return when we start adding lessons, games, camps, birthday parties, travel etc. back to our weekend schedules. I don't want to loose my slow relaxing days of recovery. I'm afraid they are slowly going to slip from my grasp. Do you prefer the slow relaxing style weekends or ones that are go-go-go?

I think I prefer the relaxing ones now that I’m a mother. Before having a little one of my own, I would go go go. Now, but the time Friday after school hits, I find myself craving some much needed rest!

I've been thinking a lot about this very thing. While I'm so grateful that we're heading toward a return to greater normalcy thanks to vaccinations, there have been gifts from this whole crazy year that I didn't anticipate. Time, sleep, connection...all have become necessary to me (truth be told, they always were, but I didn't always prioritize them) and I don't want to let them go. So I vote for slow and relaxing.

I so enjoy the slow paced weekends with very little scheduled. I do worry when our weekends start to fill up. I hope you have a relaxing weekend doing things at your pace.

I like a perfect mix of both. No alarm to wake up to, but night life to look forward to!

I couldn't agree with you more Anne! My friend and my daughter both expressed the same sentiment today as well. I guess it's up to us to decide how many old practices we allow back into the post Covid days.
