so part of our Year to Remember class this month was to have a "day off" .... organise whatever you had to to go and enjoy a day to yourself. Look i'll be honest with you .... initially i really struggled with the idea! i guess i have had kids at home with me for 9 years ... and the thought i taking a day to myself, well ... i don't think about it! LOL!
So on Oct 25th (i know it took me almost all month to do it) i organised myself, and had my DAY OFF! actually all week i was looking forward to it ... and to be honest, i was so much more productive because i had a goal i was work
ing toward. I 
was totally on top of everything come thurs to put the surf board on the car and head up the coast to the beach for the day to go surfing. I went by myself ... it was liberating! I had the music up LOUD ... really LOUD cause i am a bad singer, and it sounds better if i don't hear my voice LOL! i went out for a surf .... for 2 hours! i caught heaps of waves ... even dropped in on one - so happy about that! i still have alot of learning to do ... but it was such a gorgeous day, and i really loved being out there, not thinking about the time, or who was on the beach, or anything but having FUN! then i came up had a quick shower and went to the cafe on the beach (i mean right on the beach overlooking the other surfers still out there - awesome) and ordered lunch, and read a magazine! so nice! then called into the LSS shop up there, which happens to be a wikid shop .... bought some papers and a few bits and pieces and headed home - with the music up LOUD again! i was really tired ... but it was such a good tired .... i had a wonderful day! i am thinking i might have to do this more often! winK!

Sounds like you had a wonderful day. Learning to surf is on my "to do" list and hearing about your adventures makes me want to do it even more.
I haven't planned my "ME DAY" yet - might try and do something on Wed.

sounds like a great day... and a great idea! Glad you got some "me" time and had fun!
ooh I need one of those days! And BTW I am jacking your idea for your art cards! I have been finding it hard to be grateful this week with so much going on so i am stealing your idea and am going to write down one thing each day be it ever so small that i am grateful for! Thanks for the inspiration!
i wish i knew how to surf....but i am deathly afraid of wwaves...really big waves would give me a heart attack :)
