What energizes you?
| Mon, 09-25-2006 - 3:25pm |
The daily demands on our energy never stop coming—work, family, the house, the upcoming holidays... But like a certain famous bunny rabbit, we've got to keep going. And going! Tell us: What energizes you? We want to hear about your best strategies for keeping yourself revved up and on the move, whether it's a standing afternoon coffee date, a full ten hours of sleep every night (ha! we wish) or taking some “me time” to refresh your spirit.



I wish I could sleep ten hours, LOL! I don't have a cure for all those things, but there is something I like to do on the weekends to make sure the day doesn't just slip past. I work on weekdays, so on Saturday morning there is an overwhelming temptation to sleep in, take an hour over breakfast, another hour in the bath... and suddenly it's lunch time, DAY HALF GONE! So when I wake, I tap on my DD12's door and ask her if she'll throw on some shorts and come walk with me.
Even though she's grown into a droopy teenager who would rather go on sleeping till 1 pm, she also really enjoys our talks while we are walking. So we go out into the morning, no breakfast yet - just a big bottle of water. It really wakes you up. By the time we arrive back at the house I have found my mental list of the 80 things I must do today, and I feel ready to begin.
