Personal Batteries - Rechargeable Edition


 
It doesn't take a lot to recharge one's batteries. One of my good friends lent us the use of his cabin for a few days before I start my radiation. Was something so simple but yet something that we both needed just to have a place to simply relax. After the past few weeks that we've faced, being able just to sit next to a fire pit, listening to frogs in the creek, the moon blaring in the sky was just what the doctor ordered, this time they actually didn't. :) 

Sure, some things are up in the air with respect to the treatment ahead... funny.... 'a head'... so being able to soak up the relaxation is quite the bonus for sure. Not too far away for a day trip but definitely a place where one can just get the recharge that is needed for the road ahead.

Simplicity is one of the things that we tend to forget about. The hustle and bustle of day to day activities like work or soccer games with the kids, life tends to get in the way of what we sometimes need. Sure, taking a little break from time to time is what a lot of us need but never take the actual time to do. Whether it be a walk, hike, or just to sit down with an ice cream cone for those 10 minutes is all it takes. Something so simple but never thought of. It doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to figure out any major complications in order to do something simple, but one never seems to take the time. Sometimes we need to be a bit selfish from time to time to realize that. Doesn't have to be anything too major, now mind you, but still, have to think of oneself first sometimes.

So just remember that you may not need to have a cabin in the woods for the recharge you need, but make some time for a recharge for sure no matter what you do. :)
