I am dragging. My reserves have been depleted by a cold, not-enough sleep, and some important but difficult and thinking that I've been doing this week, and too much Doing and not enough staring at tree branches.
So I am raising the white flag. This weekend I am retreating, both in the sense that the enemy forces have gained too much ground and in the getting-zen-on-a-mountain-top way, except in my case the mountaintop is my bedroom.
This I pledge: I will turn off internet and TV. I will pull out notebooks, art supplies, walking shoes, my favorite jammies, my fuzziest socks, good music, yoga mat, just so they're ready. And I will make no plan, doing only what I feel like doing at a given moment (I'm thinking sleep will be right up there. No alarm! No agenda! Just me and the blankets and pillows, oh boy!)
Just thinking about it makes me feel perkier already.
Any suggestions? What makes for a restful, restorative weekend?

the no agenda is a good one. Cuddling works great if a cuddler is available. Getting lost in a book. Tea. Sometimes a little light cleaning. Brunch. Coffee shops. Exercise. Outdoor time. Gourmet snacks.
