Taking pleasure in the little things

I woke up today and I feel flat. I'm not sure why it is but I'm not feeling it today. I had my day off yesterday and I'm already back at the grindstone working in retail. I know a lot of people work 5 days in a row, that's not uncommon but my job is quite labour intensive and I usually clock in over 20,000 steps a day. It's also customer facing and so it's both mentally and physically exhausting.

I know the things that make me feel better and I try do those things when I can but after a long day at work I seldom have the energy to do them and it's a case of finding the time when I can. I try do the things before I go to work too but I can never settle in doing them because I know I've got to watch the clock before I have to go into work. Days off are important but more recently, my days off have just been enough to recharge me enough to go into work. I want to sit and not do much.

I guess I have to start taking pleasure in the little things. I'm already enjoying doing the garden and watching nature. They give me so much joy. I try to be creative where I can too. I spent a long time yesterday doing this website and I'm happy with the progress so far. I am hoping to find some time to create some art soon too. I love losing myself in art. Really helps the brain. This site is an art piece in itself. Love it.
