Demanding Joy

The view from the terrace of my apartment building where I wrote this post. What an amazing week!

If you had a day of solitude, what would you do with it?  Would you do laundry and pay bills and catch up on your to do list?  Would you seek people out so that it’s not a day of solitude at all?  What if the day was truly your own?  An entire 24-hour period to spend in your own company.  To think.  To breathe.  To rest.  To regenerate.  To read.  To write.  To create.  To listen.  To play.  To meditate.  To enjoy.

How often do you get such a day?  For me, it does not occur naturally.  I have to demand it.  I recently began to schedule “me days” every now and then.  They keep me grounded and positive and mindful.  Can you grant yourself a “me day”?  What will you do with yours?

Hi everyone! -
As you may notice, there is now an e-mail subscription option in the top right corner of the page.  I’m not exactly sure how it’s going to work, so those of you who are registered may be getting an e-mail.  My apologies if something funky happens – evidently there’s no way to test it in advance.  So, we’ll all be surprised together!
