5 for Friday, 1.8.21

This week, I'm...
  • Reading: my 2021 horoscopes! No, I’m not talking about the daily horoscope that says I’ll receive an unexpected financial windfall and meet someone tall, dark, and handsome. But I absolutely believe that planetary alignments and cosmic shifts affect aspects of our lives. Forewarned is forearmed, right? PS I’m super-sensitive Cancer, so the moon makes me hella moody.
  • Watching: Bridgerton. Did I say watching? I meant BINGE-WATCHING. I love a good period piece and this one did not disappoint. The sharp script, the impeccable casting, the lavish costumes, the genre-bending music, the Duke’s arched eyebrow…
  • Learning: to make time for what matters most to me. I tend to NOT schedule in time for what I want to do, mostly because I’m too busy taking care of everyone and everything else. But I’m struggling to find even 10 minutes a day to stretch or practice yoga, and that is just ridiculous. I absolutely must get better at squeezing in some self-care.
  • Trying: to get back into the swing of things after the kids’ 2-week Christmas break. Back to those a.m. school drop-offs, which means going back to those 6am wake-ups. Not fun for anybody!
  • Loving: my Christmas-free house. For as much joy as it gives me to put up Christmas decorations, it gives me equal pleasure to take them down. Having a clean, tidy, uncluttered space puts me in the proper mindset to start the new year. And who doesn’t need a fresh start in 2021?!?
