Lucy and I had ourselves a spa day today, just the two of us. It was a Christmas present from Jack and it was absolute bliss. I had a full body aromatherapy massage, and a 'vitamin c boost' facial. The package he'd bought us also included a coffee on arrival, a two-course buffet lunch and a glass of prosecco. We also treated ourselves to afternoon tea (with more prosecco) and a mani/pedi.

I felt so pampered and relaxed, we spent quite a lot of time just lazing around as well which was really nice. I want to try the reflexology treatment, there's a hot oil/sea salt treatment that looks interesting, there's a hot stones massage and they do mud treatments as well.

And I don't get to spend enough one-on-one time with Lucy so we've talked about maybe making it regular thing, once every couple of months or so. Maybe even make it a weekend getaway one of the times when Jack's away fishing.

I miss being happy. I know that sounds like a silly thing to say, but I do. I miss the feeling I had last year that life was good. I also know that happiness is a state of mind, it's something that we have to find, not something that just appears out of nowhere.

As a step toward rediscovering my feelings of pleasure and contentment and well-being, I am going to make a concerted effort this coming week to try to not complain about anything.

Also, this evening I meditated for the first time. I've got an app on my phone called Headspace and it has this 'basics' course. It was a three-minute introduction and focused on just sitting and breathing, on... feeling your breaths. I couldn't find a comfortable seated position but ended up laying on my back on the floor, arms at my sides, knees bent and feet digging into the carpet. It was much more relaxing than I expected it to be.

It made me miss going to yoga or pilates classes so I'm wondering if it's a sign that I'm ready to get back to them. I guess there's only one way to find out!

All about ME!
