last week i had a bad case of the blahs. i was recovering from a pretty bad cold and think i had just had one too many days being cooped up working during the day and watching mindless tv during the night. i wasn't feeling my usual happy self and when saturday rolled around i was finally feeling better physically - which was amazing - but i started to just stress myself out with to-do lists/everything i needed to catch up on from being sick - which was not so amazing.
this may or may not have had a slight emotional breakdown...which was only slightly pathetic considering all of my problems at this point were completely self-inflicted and menial...luuuckily i have the sweetest husband in the world who thought my self-inflicted, menial problems were important. and reminded me that everything i had to do could wait until monday. and weekends are for fun. so we took a trip up the canyon for the most wonderfully relaxing afternoon of fishing, picnicing, laying out, reading, and canoodling. needless to say, it perked me right up!
sometimes the healthiest thing to do is forget the to-do lists and do whatever it is you feel like doing. nothing cures the blahs like a little fresh air and spontaneity :)
yes yes yes, forget the lists and have fun for a day or two, a couple hours if you can - after that, the list never seems as bad as it did :)
ReplyDeleteThese shots are just beautiful. It sounds like it was good for the soul :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to be there right now!
while reading this, my mind just suddenly calmed itself. Nothing better than being surrounded by nature.
ReplyDeleteI am actually at work right now while reading this. Told my workmate sitting beside me that I'd love to go in the mountainside. Love the photos. :)I want to be there super right now. <3

Girl. You're adorable in your birks and baseball hat. And I hear you in silly breakdowns and sweetest hubby's ever. We're so lucky.

The outdoors does wonders for the soul, eh? I'm glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to have a sweet husband who will cheer me up when I have "blah" days!
ReplyDeleteBrownie points for him.
awesome photos. There is truly nothing better than a nice husband and the outdoors.
ReplyDeleteOoof. I'm battling a mean case of the blahs right now myself.
ReplyDeleteYour weekend trip looks so cathartic! Glad you were able to get away and turn your mind off for a bit. Those lists will drive you crazy! I've got to take a break from mine too it seems!
oh my goodness i love this, and i couldn't agree more. plus, there is just something about being outside in the mountains that can cure anything. but really, forgetting the to-do list can sometimes be just what you need. just a day to yourself to not stress about anything.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful! You're so right.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos...
ReplyDeleteWhere do you live that you can just drive to that beautiful spot in one day!?
