As a fulltime mom and now starting my own business, I have had no time to read books. It has been YEARS since I sat down and read an actual physical book. The last time is probably 2012. After that I've stuck to audiobooks and listen to e-books while I multi-task. I have put so much pressure on myself to make shit happen. It has also been cold and raining a lot here in California for the last couple of months it is FINALLY SUNNY ☀️. The other day when it was sunny out my 3 year old of course took advantage of the weather and played outside for a couple of hours. This is hard for me because I try to work and be productive ALL day, every day so I usually work on my phone while I watch him play. Unfortunately my phone battery was 2% and I had nothing else to do but grab this book that's been on my shelf for a while and actually READ. WOW. This is what it feels like to relax. I have been saying for a while " one day, I'd like to sit and read real books again, somewhere outdoors by the trees and birds". Well this day forced itself upon me and I now am forcing myself to make this a weekly thing. I deserve it. One day may never come so I am going to treat myself with some weekly reading. I am excited for Spring! ☀️🌲🌳#rememberingthefuture #springreading #SelfCareDay (at Fallbrook, California)
