Dinner, With A Side Of Self-care

--by OllyOxenFree, posted Mar 12, 2015

Today I kept a promise and had lunch with a friend I had not seen in a while. I was extremely tired from school, work, and my 5 hour art lab I had just come from and I really wanted to go home after a long day. But I kept my promise to not upset my friend this evening.

As it turned out, we had such a good time that I stayed longer than I had planned and really saw how much the occasion meant to my friend. We caught up on months worth of news, and it felt like we had never had such a long break.

I really wanted to go home and hide under the covers today. But in keeping my promise and going to meet with a friend, I not only was kind to another person, but was also kind to myself.

I got some much needed self-care out of the occasion and was able to make the day of another person -someone who had been just as busy and still kept their promise to have dinner with me.

Peace and Good Vibes
