When was the last time you did something, just for you? I mean something that you did with no other intention but to bring joy to yourself.
I think about this as I sit by a window, at The Beat, a downtown coffee shop that I've come to love. I am surrounded by the company of my journals, my coffee, and this delicious chocolate muffin that I should regret, but don't. I look around at my fellow coffee drinkers, with their open books, laptops, or friend with whom they're conversing and smile to myself as I feel a calmness come over me.
Times like these, I enjoy being alone with my thoughts and my writing. It slows me down. It reminds me to stop, take a look around and breathe every once in a while. Life is beautiful, it really is. Even when it's a mess.
So as I sit here listening to some great music, courtesy of The Beat, and continue to attempt to put my thoughts onto paper, I am not thinking about how I really shouldn't take another bite of this chocolate muffin, or how tomorrow is yet another Monday.
I am scrawling my pen across the page, feeling the words come easier as my thoughts become more clear. I am enjoying this cup of coffee as it glides across my taste buds and makes them do a little cheer, "Yay for good coffee!" I am dancing in my chair to this really good song that's playing. I am looking out the window at passersby and wondering how their Sunday is going for them. Lastly, I am enjoying this moment. On this Sunday morning. Doing a little something for me.
You go girl!! That actually sounds refreshing, just to sit and relax, and just do something for you for a change. Just listening to music, and writing down your thoughts as they just pour out of you.
