the importance of a mindless day

Guilt. Lots of guilt. Today after doing nothing except watching tv I felt guilty. I'm on vacation so I shouldn't mind, but my personality tends to shy away from indifference. Then I realized I was breaking a cardinal rule when it comes to any "off" day...let it go.

This post should really be directed towards those who are planning an event especially a wedding. A mindless day must be budgeted in to your schedule. Some call it a "me" day. It is good to have a day of mental rest, a day without thoughts of your budget or seating charts or deadlines. Instead watch hours of tv. Have a glass of wine. Take a walk. Then, most importantly, don't feel guilty. I guarantee you have earned it.

And, if you feel like there is absolutely no way you can have a mindless day, then maybe you should give sweet nothings a call. An event should be fun and should not be so demanding that it dominates your life. So enjoy a mindless day. Rejuvenate and relax. Be refreshed for tomorrow.

Enjoying a desperate housewives marathon,
