2 days of relaxation...ahhhh

How often do we get the opportunity to wake up and say, "If I could do anything today...what would I do?" I've been fortunate enough to wake up the past two mornings and ask myself this question....and I have fully enjoyed myself! Yesterday, I bundled up and spent part of the morning on an adventure with my dog. It started off as just a walk through the neighborhood...however we decided to explore some trails...or really just make our own through the woods. (The woods are absolutely beautiful right now because of all the snow). It was the most fun I've had in awhile, and I had to laugh out loud as I crawled up a too steep hill, and my lungs burned for the first time in 6 months! Also...Molly was pretty funny, as she did not like our break in routine, and kept trying to grab the leash from my hand to pull me back to civilization!
Then...what's better after being out in the cold, but to come home and take a hot bubble bath? I put in a good cd and just relaxed. Almost as good as the spa.
Finally, I spent the rest of the afternoon reading Eat, Pray, Love. Its an inspiring, fabulous read! I've just finished the Eat section....and really enjoyed it, as I can relate to her love of good food! Its one of my greatest pleasures too! (I hope the crohns doesn't mess with this!)

Today, I woke up early (okay...that wasn't one of the high points of the day, I must admit!) and went to see an acupuncturist. I have to admit, it was a bit wierd, and not necessarily pain free (but not painful either). But it put me in a fabulous mood! I had 'needles' in the strangest places: tops of ears, interior wrists, cheeks, fingers, toes, and shins. They were supposed to help with my TMJ from chemo, and stomach/GI issues I've had recently. We'll see how it works (TMJ was better at lunch). I plan to go back next Thursday, after I get my pump off. (This is usually a very hard time for me...so we'll see how it goes!)
I then spent some time shopping, had a yummy lunch with a friend, then came home for a short nap. Overall another good day!

I go back to work tomorrow...so no more 'me time' for a little while...but I'm pretty content with the two days that I've had...as most people don't get this opportunity frequently with the hustle and bustle of our busy lives.

Some pics to leave you with....

My Happy Feet.... :)
