A breather in the midst of busy days.
I will be participating in the project hosted by Rin Kiki, note de Noël! (So nervous!)
The theme for this is a breather.
I was just about to take a breather right now.
Since my child is sleeping,
(It's a long one today!! So grateful!!)
I reach for the milk tea I bought recently to reclaim some time for myself.
It's my first time buying this milk tea, but it's delicious. Definitely buying it again.
In the kitchen, I stir the hot water poured into my mug.
I hold it with both hands and look up at the white ceiling.
Then, I close my eyes for just a moment and let out a sigh.
I take a sip of the milk tea.
Delicious.
Sweet and delicious. It's a relief.
I feel a sense of comfort spreading slowly from around my heart.
Since my child was born, I've constantly had weeks go by before I even realized it.
Wait, what was I doing besides taking care of the baby?
If things keep going like this, the days will just slip away,
and the year will be over in a flash! Oh no! Thinking that, I decided to start recording what I do each day on my smartphone.
When I did that, time felt like it was moving more slowly than usual.
Also, bath time.
I put in my favorite bath salts and let out a sigh.
This is the only private space where no one can disturb me. (And the bathroom, haha)
Even though the days pass by in a flash,
I decided that I want to cherish the time where I can take a "breather," without losing sight of myself and without forgetting to be kind to myself.
