Mental Break
Also known as “Lunch”.
Today I was in much need of an actual mental break. Between the Blue Cross Blue Shield training (I have to do this AGAIN!?) and working on issues and an employee review, by the time 12:30 rolled around I was in dire need of a mental break!
I had a debate for about 3 minutes (debating in my own mind) about taking a nap {I have a couch in my office}, going for a walk or taking a little stroll thru one of my favorite new venues.
Here’s how the debate went…a nap: I’m super tired today (I think due to the sugar ban I’ve put on myself) so a nap would do me a lot of good. But then, I don’t always feel great after waking up…it’s like waking up in a fog. So, no, that’s no good at all. Strike 1.
A walk: It’s already 89 degrees outside so if I did take my little self on a walk down the street, I think my feet would feel and look something like this upon my return:
That’s not attractive, so again, no. Strike 2.
A stroll thru the venue (I really hope this one turns out good!): Grand idea. I can get outside, enjoy some sunshine (but not too much), take in some sights of plants and flowers and sounds of waterfalls and mentally escape.
WINNER! Home run!
About a 10 minute drive from my office is this glorious place.
You might recall seeing this picture in my “About Me” or on Facebook recently:
A random Saturday excursion to Hay Hill with Andrew, Dana and Reynolds led to this happy see-saw moment 🙂
This is the view when you walk in:
If you need a seat, well, here’s hand! bahaha
There’s the flamingo I need to get for our yard for Reynolds…I’m sure Andrew would LOVE this!
Hay Hill has some neat plants, that I’ve never seen, like these cuties:
What girl doesn’t want a plant called “Partytime”?? Sounds fabulous!
And great words to live by in the indoor shop:
Back to the grind I go.
I hope you enjoyed your little tour of Hay Hill.
Thankful for a few minutes of quiet and lovely sights in the beautiful outdoors!
Enjoy your afternoon, with whatever you have planned!
