Plan a day to just dream...

She asked me if I ever woke up and said.. "you know what, I'm just gonna stay home and relax today..." 
 
I think it took me a second to respond...  
 
Well.. yeh... A lot... but I never actually stay at home... 
 
I would feel way too guilty to do that... I would definitely still check my email and facebook and my blog. 
 
"Did anyone comment yet... who sent me an email.. omgosh who liked my photo..." 
 
That goes through my head 24/7...  
 
And ever since she asked me that question -- it's been haunting me.. so much so that I put on my to-do list... 
 
Plan a day to just... dream 
 
When I first started my photog 'journey' -- every day behind my camera was a new adventure... 
 
But now... years later, that new adventure has slowly become a routine. 
 
So my goal for March.. and April... May and June... and all the way through December.. is to allow myself a few days to just dream..  
 
The way that I used to. 
 
I want to give myself permission to relax a little.. to have a little stay at home vacation if you will. 
 
Curled up on the couch with the dogs in my face.. annoying me, nonetheless... but watching tv and NOT checking facebook. 
 
When we went to St. Croix -- it was INCREDIBLE.. my phone didn't have service and I was forced to relax and enjoy myself. 
 
I think it's going to be amazing to have a few days to 'just be'.... be boring... be still.. and be at rest!  
 
But I think it's going to be even more amazing to be "refreshed"... so that I'm not viewing the world with the same eyes. 
 
I think it's going to be amazing to be inspired by my work again!
