PJ's subject line of his email read, "Ahem..."
He loves when he's right. And he loves when he finds literature to back him up. Inside his email was this article: Click here.
The publication discusses the importance and necessity of taking a day to relax, something which is near extinction in the United States.
A few weeks ago when I went to visit PJ over my break I did just that. I took a day where I did close to nothing. We watched movies. Made dinner. Stayed in Pajamas. Read. It was absolutely lovely.
I had moments in days following however, where I verbalized that the day as a "waste." And while I'm obviously not alone in this mindset (cue article) - it doesn't mean that it's healthy. PJ was justifiably upset to hear me say this as he knew, before reading the article, how valuable it is to relax from time to time.
Last night, after my work out I enjoyed a dinner with PJ and we watched the second half of Shawshank Redeption (one of my favorite movies of all time!) Today we went to breakfast together and afterward I've been working on this blog.
Even though I can feel my chest tightening with anxiety as I glance at the clock and have yet to scratch anything off of my ever-growing to do list -- I'm not going to look back at the last twenty hours with regret. I'm thankful to have someone in my life that reminds me to not only fight for it but also not to feel guilty for it.
