Me Time With A Purpose

This weekend I thought hard about what to write today. I thought about the great breakfast casserole I made for my family this weekend. I thought about tea's. As I thought on Sunday and flipped through my magazines, I thought about how much I was enjoying my bit of ME time. I get up earlier than my family most of the time, we have puppies that rise early. So during my me time I went through magazines. Old ones that have stacked up around my house. I know it's a small thing. However I got out some file folders, labeled them and ripped out articles I found of interest.

Recipes, one of my folders, I want to try out on my family.

Garden ideas, I love working in the garden and not just mine but my in-laws as well. I put sticky notes on the torn out pages so I would remember what I was thinking at the time.

website, these were pages that gave me inspiration of what to write to my followers. Again I used my sticky notes.

Decor Ideas, I am always working on my house. Looking for simple ways to make an easy change or organize an area.

I spent maybe an hour on my magazines. A feeling of accomplishment was left with me as I finished a project that was relaxing. Once done my files went to my work area and a few magazines found a home in the recycling bin. ME time with a purpose. Try some out for yourself and let me know how your feel.
