Today was such a cool and unpredictable day! It started like any other -I got up, took the dogs for a walk, had breakfast, and tackled my emails and work. After a while, I thought it’d be nice to do something different today. I got myself together and decided to hit the road to explore some nearby areas. Since moving here, I honestly haven’t had much time for that. Work’s been crazy, and this year’s been tough financially, so I’ve been trying to stay as productive as possible 😌
My first stop was a huge lake surrounded by mountains. I’ve seen it plenty of times but never really stopped to enjoy it - until today. I parked the car, went for a walk, and found this sweet spot with benches overlooking the lake. Perfect place for a picnic and some coffee! The weather was just right, and I felt like I didn’t need to rush anywhere. It was such a great feeling. Then I drove higher into the mountains, to a food truck on a hill with an epic view of Beskid Zywiecki. I ordered coffee and tiramisu and just soaked in the scenery. That moment made me realize I need to do this more often 😍
At that point, I also knew that today wouldn’t be productive in the usual sense, but it was definitely good for my soul and sanity. When I got home, I watched some YouTube videos I’d been meaning to catch up on and took a cozy nap with my dogs while the afternoon sun warmed my face. Later, I decided to hit up a local restaurant for dinner, because I was in the mood for something different. After that, I headed back home and started playing Expedition 33. As you’re reading this, I’m actually still playing. Once I’m done, I’m planning to enjoy a hot bath and then watch an episode of Dexter: Resurrection 😎
It was a perfect day! I was relaxing, but it wasn’t just about chilling, there were so many little things that made it special. It made me realize that sometimes you just need to take a short break to come back stronger and more determined. Without those breaks, work can get really frustrating and exhausting. I’m definitely planning on having more days like this moving forward. Even though I didn’t make any progress with work today, I’m confident I’ll catch up later this week, so it was totally worth it! 💪🏻
Don’t forget to take those moments for yourself whenever you’re overwhelmed with the amount of things to do. It really helps!
Kisses, hugs and day off 📅
