Wednesday Word: Carefree?

This week's word from Deb Runs is Carefree.

To be honest, there is not a bone in my body that knows how to be carefree. Not one.

I am your typical Type A personality. I'm a planner. A doer. A list maker.

I know what I'm doing in 1 hour, in a day, and next month. I plan out meals, cleaning, laundry days, training, run routes, even rest days!

So being carefree is a bit hard for me. Just relaxing and letting the day slip away...that almost gives me hives.

But then there are days when I say to Travis "hey, let's just go hang out on the porch." Let's do nothing. Let's have some snacks, some adult drinks, and maybe just sit there.

Snacks are always included.

I try not to think about the cleaning that needs to be done, the laundry, the strength training I still need to fit in that day, and just relax. 

Admittedly, these days are few and far between. They are probably going to be even fewer and even farther now that Emily has officially started preschool. (Yikes!)

But there will still be days when we can let it all go and just hang out. Forget the "schedule" and allow for some unscheduled fun...

Maybe I should check my calendar and pencil that in...
