Don't beat yourself up. Sometimes that's exactly what the mind/body needs.

Taking the time to read something you enjoy is an accomplishment.

@Luvsmyfam ..Yes, last Tuesday. I had an morning early hair cut and then came home....did pretty much nothing all day except read, do a load of laundry and I fixed dinner....hate those days but it was cold outside, I had no motivation to do much.
And then I don't sleep good that night because I did nothing all day.

It sounds like a perfect day to me.

A lazy day that brings you peace and joy is never a wasted day. In fact, we need to make time for MORE of those days. I just declare them mental health days.
I do get how how fast the time will fly, when committing to a do 'nothing' day. It's as though we lose time. We look up and it's over. A big contrast to the daily work grind, that often seems it will never end.

@Luvsmyfam Nothing wrong with that. In early 2009 when my DH died, for about 2 weeks I would do my morning stuff then go to our fabulous library and sit there for 5-7 hours just reading.
I found a series by an author I had just discoverd and spent 2 weeks reading everything by her.
I needed that quiet time. We all need it sometimes. My whole familly loves to read. As a kid I had to be told NOT to bring books to the dinner table.
Reading is wonderful. So is quiet time.

@Luvsmyfam - I work full time (from home now) and I feel guilty too when I take it easy on the weekend. I didn't do anything either yesterday (Saturday). I'm going to try and get some stuff done today. Monday will be here before we know it! Don't beat yourself up too much.

I think it's great your love of reading. I need to read more but unless it's something I'm really interested in I find it hard to stick with it. My grandma I admired so.She lived to be 100 and she was a voracious reader her whole life, right up to her death. And I feel it's why her mind stayed sharp as a tack till then as well.
