31: Skipping Class Part 2

Now you know...I've skipped a class or two in my day.  Life has a sneaky way of derailing you (and me) when we least expect it if we don't have margins.

My girl needed a skip day a couple of weeks ago.  Life had simply overwhelmed her and she needed a break.  She's only 9 and yet...she needs margins, too.

That got me thinking about the common, and essential, elements to a day devoted to margin.  A day when we need to carve out some space so we can breathe, think, live.

Here are the key pieces should you find you need your own day of margin:

• rest - sleeping in and naps
• food - your favorite comfort foods
• fresh air - it's amazing to me what a little natural vitamin D and deep inhalations of oxygen will do for your soul
• clothing - only the comfiest, snuggliest will do
• meditation - take some time to think, read, pray, listen to music
• hot bath - turns out there's some truth to "Calgon take me away!"

What are your key pieces to a day of margin?
