Today, one of my co-workers and I were talking about "me time". That time you spend doing what it is that you want to do, at your own pace, without anyone else around.
I am totally guilty of being that person that has plans with someone, looking forward to it all week, and just not feeling it so much by the time it actually comes. My co-worker said that I shouldn't feel guilty about doing that..
I'm just in need of some "me time".
Anytime that I can actually justify doing what I want, when I want regardless of what others expect me to be doing, I'm down for it.
I'm a big fan of "me time", now.
We got to talking more and I immediately knew exactly what my favorite "me time" activity is: Reading!
I've recently started working on a list of books for girls in their 20's. I'm loving it so far. They are exactly what I need to be exposed to at this point in my life.
At least I like to think so.
Right now I'm reading a great book called Girls in White Dresses by Jennifer Close.
I bought this book for my Kindle Fire on Sunday evening and I'm about 90% through it. I don't want to make this all a book review, but it's about a group of girlfriends that are out of college and everything that they're doing with their lives in their 20s.
Honestly, it's starting to make me feel a little bit better and less anxious about my job search. Life isn't perfect and "me time" is helping me realize that, thank goodness.
What do you do for your "me time"? If you had a whole day of "me time", how would you spend it?
Goodnight! :)
I must say, this book is nothing I would read! But I do want to purchase a kindle fire. I am getting an iPad soon, should I invest or just stick with iPad?
ReplyDeleteDrew,
ReplyDeleteI love my Kindle for reading and for some apps like Pinterest. If you're looking for something to replace a laptop that you want to take around all day everyday, I would probably invest in an iPad. I think it's much more functional than other products. If you're just looking for something to use to store your books in one place, you can't go wrong with the Kindle! I love it!
Me time sounds wonderful about now. I get cagey when I'm around people too much and for extended periods of time. I'm waiting for everyone in my house to be healthy so I can be in my house by myself and just "be". Perfect me time!
ReplyDeleteDrew - if you want to read a lot, get a dedicated e-reader or iPad mini. The iPad is too heavy to work like a book for longer periods of reading.
I have been looking for great new books to read and think I will look into the book you suggested. I am also going to use the list of books that you listed to aid me on my book search!
