Today, after a day like yesterday, was supposed to be a big reading day for my winter semester class.
But, it wasn't long before I realized that I wasn't going to be able to properly focus and absorb information with the aching brain I had.
Instead of homework, EQ and I headed out for a little pampering. My typical nail salon is closed for renovations, so we ventured a little deeper into the Beach and found Fresh Nails.
What a gem! We may even have a new location now for our manicures and pedicures! Danny was a hoot!
I would have thought, after getting out for a manicure and a pedicure that I would have been found some energy to dive into my school readings. No, not so.
Shortly after arriving home, I sat on the couch with EQ to chat about the rest of the evening's plans. Within moments I had fallen asleep. Apparently my old bones needed the break (no pun intended!) because an hour later I found myself being guided to bed to continue my nap more comfortably.
I slept for three hours in total. That's a pretty long nap in my books!
What a nap it was! Apparently I needed it. My head was no longer pounding and I felt more alive again.
And that was my smile for the day. Coming out of a three hour "nap", I was feeling better. It wasn't productive, but it was exactly what I needed.
Moments giving in to what your body is calling for.
Moment realizing that your health and well-being are the most important thing, everything else stems from that solid base.
