This year has been challenging so far on many fronts for me. Many days I wake up and feel a good bit like "Cindy"rella scrubbing floors in a dark basement. The analogy is not one of self-pity because I really don't see it that way. It is the timing of God's plan for me.
The reason why I know this how yesterday evolved into a "Cindy"rella day. In the morning, I awoke with the pleasant thought that I was on vacation for the first time this year. I have to admit that it took me most of the morning and into the afternoon to really get into a mode away from pending work and thinking about how to make the most of this time.
The early afternoon fell nicely into place with a run on the treadmill and some quality time with Kayla. We talked about hopes and dreams we have. It was a bittersweet time since previous talks like this usually were dominated by the past. The later afternoon presented an opportunity for me to take a walk with my love Schnookie. We frolicked around the block like neither of us had a care in the world.
Around 5 it was time for me to head to Hershey Hotel for my spa session (the birthday gift my team had given me last September). I sat in the quiet room feeling like royalty being waited on and pampered as I looked out at the beautiful view of the Hershey Gardens. The entire experience was "heavenly" and had me expressing thanks for being a daughter of the The King.
I topped off the day with a session in the hot tub, curled up in a blanket and watched the movie Fireproof. It was truly a "Cindy"rella day.
