“I accidentally put some eyeshadow on my skin,” said Pip.
“Ah…yes, the accidental application…know it well,” said Mom.
Pip and I have been spending some time together (just the 2 of us) the past few days. Her sisters are away. Tabs is visiting her Granny and Granddad and Mist is visiting a friend at the lovely Bastion Ranch.
Pip is so much fun to be with. I am never more joyful than when I am spending time with my daughters. Pip kept the entire beach entertained the other morning with her wild dance races into the water. I’d say, “1,2,3, GO!” She’d begin her wild hip swaying routine while I counted and at GO! she’d race down the beach and into the water. Then she’d stand and do a water dance. Her finale was a dive into the water and an under water swim. Then,she’d resurface,run up the beach to me and we’d start all over again.
I am enjoying my saviors at this moment. Some people call them vices but I call them saviors–the small routine things we do for ourselves that allow little pleasure breaks during each day. My saviors involve dark chocolate squares and a cup of hot black/green tea combo,sometimes it is a giant cold black iced-tea (no sugar but lemon) and other times, it is a half a glass of red wine in the evening. Though my favorite Savior is my evening mediation time, just before bed, it includes a green tea meditation time too.
–When there isn’t enough time in the day for anything, that is the exact time one should indulge in a savior.
