Using My Spoons Like I Want

If you struggle with health issues, you may be familiar with the spoon theory. Minimalism helps a person suffering with chronic illness/pain keep their spoons for things they want to do rather than things they have to do, in my opinion.  That's my experience anyway.

Here's a list of ways I want to use my spoons.

1) Go to my spot and take a deep breath, meditate for a bit, and appreciate how far I've come.

2) Do something special for my husband and/or kids that speaks to their love language to remember why I'm on this journey in the first place.

3) Watch the sunrise or sunset to help keep me grounded and connected to the life force.

4) Spend time with the bubs and Sir Charles.

5) Attend the farmers' market and talk with the vendors.

6) Have family dinner, including a few guests.

7) Play board/card games.

8) Dance in the kitchen with My Love.

9) Enjoy a recharging siesta with an uncluttered brain.

10) Sing at the top of my lungs to the songs that move me.
