"M" is for "Monday". And "messy".

They say that imperfection is beauty. That must mean my life has been pretty beautiful lately.

I have been having moment after moment of, to put it nicely, "imperfections". My room is a disaster, I haven't done laundry in at least 3 weeks and my lunch today was pretzels & peanut butter cups...at least I also had a peach?

The fact of the matter is, sometimes, you just have those times where chocolate is the only food that sounds edible to you. Or that despite your yoga bag packed & ready to go in the trunk of your car, you just aren't feeling up to it. And also, it's Monday. And well, that just seems like as good an excuse as any to get out of anything semi-unpleasant or good for you.

My advice? Just soak it up. Let it happen. Acknowledge the fact that sometimes you are going to wear a shirt with a stain & cover it up with a scarf and have nothing on your evening agenda but some sweet treats, blankets and a lot of Netflix streaming. It's ok - life is about balance, and sometimes, a couple off-weeks is a part of that balance.

If it were up to me - and I had the energy to go to the store to buy coconut cream & oranges to make sour mix - I would be having coconut margaritas and double chocolate cookies for dinner. Oh the life of a 20-something when she's feeling unmotivated & under the weather...

If perfection isn't achievable anyway, there's no reason we should be trying 24/7 to make it happen. And good thing it isn't, because nights in snuggled on the couch are so necessary.

Therapy.

I get through my hard days by drinking red wine, practicing yoga and reminding myself constantly that distance in miles does not equal distance in heart.

(Really great pasta and hugging a dog never hurt either.)
