lazy sunday...not so much

I've been fantasizing about a day like this for a while now. Rain. Nonstop. Perfect excuse to stay in bed all day. But after waking up at 5:30 a.m. to projectile vomit all over my body (thanks to my poor, sick baby), I've been in motion for the last 12 hours. Nonstop. I can't say that I've ever learned how to properly relax. That is to say, to take time for myself to do absolutely nothing productive and not feel guilty about it later. So here I am, attempting to take time for myself doing something I once loved to do as a teenager - write.

I googled conflicted and found your blog. Your writing is good. May be too many cliches, but still very good. I am the "old lady" you spoke about, still looking for direction. I was also a teacher and professor, now retired. I cannot give advice to my daughter because she chose to end our relationship and that is why I was googling conflicted, but what I can do is suggest that you never think badly about yourself no matter who criticizes. It is unhealthy. Strive to live each day as if it was your last; live in the moment. Have a great life filled with surprise and delight.
