I like that!

Funny, I was just sitting and looking out the window, thinking about how hard I am on myself, planning to speak with my therapist about it tomorrow. For example, if I don't get certain chores done on a given day I mentally beat myself up. But why? I have raised my kiddos, my husband lives in his own home. It's just me and the cats. Stuff will get done! So what if I take 1 day...or 2 and just do things I enjoy?

I need to drop the guilt.
