Wisdom.

A wise man once said, “If you are overwhelmed, do less.” See wise man to the right. I promised I wouldn’t put his name on this. So don’t ask. He is just some wise guy. Okay? Got it. And, HE is the one who wrote peach on the wall. But I digress.
I’ve been reading a lot of blogs lately. (Maybe that’s why I can’t finish anything!) A lot of you are bogged down with laundry, organizing, work, family, just a ton of stuff to get done! Me, too. Some days, I don’t know how I’ll ever finish. I took the advice of the wise man and stopped.
I left Andrew and the boys last night, jumped in my flashy mini-van, and headed south. All the way to the D.C. suburbs. Whew hoo! But wait awaited me was a lovely bottle of Spanish white wine, pleasant music, and dinner of my choice (Fish tacos, black beans, and homemade salsa). My friend and I sat and talked. We laughed. We relaxed. What is that, you ask? Well, I didn’t know either! We did nothing. It was heavenly.
And as I headed back to Stepford (after the glow of the wine wore off, of course) I had a new outlook and new energy.
Unfortunately, reality did rear its head again this morning, but I do love my three little realities! And I recognize how much a small break can change a mood.
At least you said only THREE little realities.
No. 4
glad you relaxed – you deserve it.
totally lol over ‘stepford’. there’s no better way to describe it…
Dear Reality #4 – It’s not that you aren’t a challenge. It’s just that I wasnt’ going to discuss it publicly.
Good food, good wine, good company. Can’t beat it!
Totally with you – I’m gonna blog about me getting a break too.
I have a feeling you are married to the pictured wise man!
I have heard of fish tacos and frankly they do not sound appetizing. But maybe I should try one prior to passing judgment.
Glad you had a good time. Everyone deserves a break some day.
No, Junebee – that is NOT my hub. I know – fish tacos sounded icky to me too – until I had them in Mexico. I am hooked! You can get them at Baja Fresh, if there is one near you & you’re feeling brave.
I want to break out in song “You deserve a break today, so get up and get away…at McDonald’s!”
