Have you ever felt so excited and so exhausted at the same time? Getting ready to host visitors or go on a vacation can feel that way for me. As a mom, I often feel like I have to make sure everything goes well for everyone. This includes tickets / reservations, activity selection & scheduling, meal planning & groceries, budgeting, cooking, and any “concerns” that may arise in the process. Not sounding like vacation or rejuvenation yet? With vacation time upon us, I thought I would “schedule” some down days for myself before the excitement begins. Before each visit or trip, I plan to take at least one day to do just what I want to do. I’m also going to see if I can schedule some shorter, quiet times each day or fit in one of those naps I was hoping to take more of this month. I thought it might be restorative / preventative in some way.

In retirement I have found that having a siesta time daily even if you are at home makes a huge difference in your day. It is time away and silent time. It is a time for napping and a time for reading and a time for meditation. It is a time when you feel free to do all those things that rejuvenate you and get you ready to face the real world again. It is a time that most working mothers never take for themselves. You should all try it this summer! It will benefit you and all those who depend on you!
