evening rituals

a little oil in the bath
to ease today's tension
rub away the knots
the aches
stress
something from the cupboard
a treat to celebrate
or congratulate
appreciate
another day completed
a movie and a kitten
the final decent
into a well-deserved rest

I'm trying to be better about taking time for myself. Perhaps not daily, but I have been running on full throttle and need and want to slow down as the weather gets nicer (read warmer). So this bit of writing serves as encouragement and a reminder for me.
