Focus on Life Week 3 - Take Time

Our journey for this week, week 3, is Take Time.  Sally asked us when was the last time you took a few moments for ourselves?  Really took time for us without feeling guilty.  I do have to say I try and do this every night when I get home.  That is the one thing the military taught me was you need to make sure you take time for yourself or you will go bat freaking shit crazy :).  So, I have a sanctuary where I sit my butt down and chill each night - be it to read, pet the cats or watch my DVDs.

I know it is kinda stupid - but this is my sanctuary - my comfy couch.  Of course I have to share said comfy couch with all the fur babies but it is still mine, all mine.  Right now it is covered with a fleece blanket, the heated throw, and the regular blanket because it is cold.  Next to the comfy couch are the books mom got me for Christmas and behind my my memorial wall which I love looking at each day.

I love putting a documentary in and just learning something new - this is a DVD mom got me for Christmas called "America's Book of Secrets".  This episode was American Monuments - as you can tell we were on the St. Louis Arch.  Of course the fur babies are on the couch with me and I have no idea what Tiesha is looking at on the ceiling - always makes me think she is seeing ghosts up there - or my grandma watching over me :)  Poor grandma, I live a pretty boring life!

Another picture of the fur babies on the couch with me.  Just so you know my feet are off to the side of the couch and I am scrunched up all the way to the top because the cats have taken over the couch and no more room for me.  I think they love the heated throw more than I do :)

Me trying to read a book on Saturday, with Mishka wanting to be petted and Koshka wanting to be left alone as I try and take a picture with the phone.

This is from Thursday night - Reville wanted under the top blanket so she could be on the heated throw and she had to be up next to me as I read the Nook (Kim Harrison "Pale Demon").  She is my other mushmellow - has to be where mom is.

Another picture of Reville I had to share with her wanting to be in the action while I was reading.

So, that is how I take time.  Thanks for stopping by and make sure you head over to Sally's blog to check out how everyone else "Takes Time" for themselves.
