My December #BFC21 goals
Listening to audiobooks is enjoyable on its own, but made even better when combined with crocheting or walking.

Went to the beach and listened to the waves and the seagulls 5. Max cuddled up to me while I was reading 6. Been eating more fresh fruit 7. Did yoga a few times this month 8. Unplugged while at the beach 👇🏻

I spent some time reading by the pool this morning, and of course, I wore sunscreen! I‘ve also kept a fitness and wellness journal all month, which I‘m proud of, and I hope the habit sticks!

BINGO!
Self Care afternoon!
Got a bunch of bingos since last time I posted! I‘ve almost got the board cleared!
pickMerry Christmas to everyone!
This beautiful little book is a reminder to take care of yourself, to take time for yourself without feeling guilty.
After reading this book, I decided to finally get myself an alarm clock with awakening light and natural sounds, as well as a bath pillow! Little gifts to myself for a more relaxing life ;)
For 2021, I wish you all to be happy, to be nice to yourself, to enjoy the beauty of friendship and family!
It's been a hell of a year. I've watched front-line friends fall apart from daily strain, seen other friends battle cancer & life-changing illnesses, fought my own battle with a mystery illness, & I haven't hugged my family since February. But I'm still here, and I consider that a victory. Be kind to yourself (and others) this holiday season. Find time for self-care, try not to worry so much about the little things, & get help if you need it. ❤
Made 2 self-care bingos. YAY! #wintergames2020 #merryreaders
Not too hot this week on the self-care front! I meditated, did not schedule myself, and went light seeing. That‘s about it! Did get a bingo, though. 😊
