Ahhhhhh...

On Friday I laced up my sneakers, grabbed my ipod and heart rate monitor and took off. I ran. And I ran. And I ran. For 25 minutes. It was heavenly.

The breeze in my face. The sun beating down on neck. Bliss. I enjoyed every single sweaty second of my heart pounding, my music rocking and my feet hitting the pavement. This is exactly what I've needed, what I've missed, what refreshes my soul. So I did it again on Sunday. Run, baby, run!

Now, more than ever, I take advantage of the things that refresh me. After my run I sat on the back porch with the sunset and read Real Simple. How did I not thoroughly enjoy moments like these before? There's nothing like an hour of peace and quiet to calm you down after spending everyday with a six week old baby :) I suppose it doesn't take much to refresh me - a good run, a good magazine, a cup of hot tea, cleaning the kitchen, baking cookies. Little things, good things, my things.

So today, my friends, take a few minutes to enjoy something that refreshes you and brings you joy. Take a moment to pause and relish in the goodness of that refreshment - whatever it may be!
