I have a quiet weekend ahead of me,
All to myself, all by myself.
Sometimes it just feels good to spend time in my own
company.
I shut out the outside world for three days.
I don’t respond to emails or phone calls.
I have a tasty take-out dinner.
Lovely sushi!
I have a glass of red wine.
I indulge in a slice of chocolate cake.
I write a short story and a poem.
I watch a romantic comedy on Netflix.
I soak up in a bubble bath and browse a fashion magazine
While in the tub with a beauty mask on my face.
I open my journal and reflect on my day,
Sipping from a cup of strawberry tea.
I light a scented candle while I write.
The candle helps me feel inspired,
And the pen rushes on the paper as if it writes on its
own.
I go to bed early.
I spritz some lavender mist on my pillow.
I read a book before sleep.
I repeat on Saturday and Sunday.
Small joys bring me just as much happiness in my life as the
big ones.
