Saturday’s Retreat

About once a month I try to take most of one day for retreat. Each month takes a different course. This day my daughter was home as well, so we did a few things together.

To get relaxed we watched a movie together. We also made chocolate chip cookies.

I felt like nurturing myself and my surroundings this day.

Some activities that went on:

• Updating my comfort basket
• Adding fun, old pictures to facebook
• An extra long quiet time
• Playing relaxing, soulful music I got from Heather
• Reading
• Making yogurt
• Making bread dough
• Visual journaling
• Listening to a goal setting audio from the American Monk
• Playing with my computer desktop which should save time this week
• Reorganizing a bathroom cabinet
• Taking a shower with candles and music

Usually I wouldn’t consider the organizing and baking as retreat material. But, that was what I felt I needed. And I am feeling nurtured for the month ahead.
