Let Her Sleep >>

source >> isn't this print awesome?!

Today was a day for resting. For eating comfort food, wearing yoga pants for 24 hours straight, and for not showering. For crossing things off of my Netflix queue instead of off my "to-do."

It felt good.

Sometimes days like this just need to happen. And judging by the fact that I slept for 12 hours last night AND took a nap today, I needed this day to happen. I am very fortunate that I was able to honor that need.

But tomorrow it is back to the grind; back to living my life in a new apartment, in a new city, going to a new job. And that's good, too.

I have been thinking for awhile about doing a Fall cleanse or detox of some sort. My main reason for wanting to do this is less about feeling a need to rid my body of something (I think our bodies do a fine job of that most of the time on their own), but more to bring a simplicity and awareness to my daily life.  A mental cleanse, if you will. One less thing to think about in a sea of new daily experiences in my world. One more thing I can concentrate on in my day, and really feel a connection to what I put in my body. I like the idea of doing something that focuses on a handful of seasonal ingredients that are simply prepared. If you know of any good plans out there, please share with me!

I hope all you cats and kittens out there have a chance to take a second and listen to what YOUR body is telling you right now, and to honor it in whatever way feels right.
