I am finally at a point in my life where I think I deserve a little me time. I used to feel guilty for spending time at the gym unless the kids were in bed or taking a nap during the day. I have come to realize that these times are important for my sanity. I now don't mind spending an hour at the gym when the kids are home. I will take a short nap with no regrets. These are all little victories that make my life so much sweeter. I am a better mother, wife, person because of these times.
My latest indulgences are dark chocolate laced with sea salt and a glass of red wine. I know this seems so simple, but to me, it's like a touch of elegance in my day. I savor the small bits of chocolate and the glass of wine that complements it so well.
My other secret indulgence is a cup of hot tea with a touch of almond milk at night when everyone else has gone to bed. I hold the warm cup in my cold hands and let the warmth take over my entire body. Relaxing on the couch with my cup of tea and the remote in my hand, with me in full control...ahh.
With age has come the ability to find joy in the most simplest of things. I can't wait to see what lies ahead.
