Why I love quiet weekends
Sunday night as I type this and I’m thinking back on a productive (and at the same time) recharging weekend.
Hubby and I got so much done around the house but made time to go out for breakfast yesterday morning and nachos this evening :)
Hubby washed our car yesterday while I enjoyed gardening in the sunshine. Today we went to get a take away breakfast and had a picnic by the beach. Quick trip to the shops and then hubby did some painting outside (we are painting our house) and I did some housework. It was the sort of weekend that felt unrushed and highly enjoyable.
I adore quiet weekends with no plans. Years ago (pre-pandemic) our weekends often felt so busy - with unnecessary pressure to say yes to birthdays/dinners/get togethers etc. There were many times I was exhausted by Sunday evening and started a new week feeling low on energy. Post 2020 I vowed not to go back to saying yes to plans that didn’t bring joy.
What about you? Do you prefer busy or low-key weekends?
