Day #172 in A Year of Thanks:
I’m so thankful for this fun, relaxing vacation week.

It was a great week, filled with so much fun in town, out of town, and out of state, while also giving my brain a much-needed break from constantly thinking, worrying, and always trying to remain strong. I was able to be fully present and enjoy myself in the moment with people I love and cherish. I was also able to briefly remove the armor of strength to give myself the self-care I needed, without pressure to do or be anything other than what I truly needed, and without judgment. I’m so glad I opted to take some vacation time this week. I hadn’t realized how much I truly needed it until now.
