Last Monday, hubby and I went to Sentosa and had a really soulful time there. The kids were in school, and it's been a long time since I had an off day when I didn't have to run any errands. The husband wanted to suntan on the beach, so we decided to head to Tanjung Beach which was typically quieter. It was a perfect decision - on a Monday, the beach was so peaceful and beautiful. Just the kind of quietness I needed.
And nope, I did not suntan like hubby did. He loves sun tanning, but I am quite the opposite from him. I sought refuge in a pavilion and caught up with my Korean drama while watching the sea waves and feeling the breeze on my face. Now and then, I would take up my camera and snap pictures of the beach. It was such a therapeutic few hours for me.
And then I took a dip in the sea with hubby and just chatted about everything while enjoying the warmth of the sun rays and the cold sea water. I can't remember the last time I swam in the sea. Almost forgot how wonderful it was.
Soul time is what every mum needs to get back the sanity and take a reprieve from life's stress. This is even more so for SAHMs who usually have to face the kids 24/7, mostly on their own. I've realised that I get grouchy and easily irritated when I don't get enough soul time or time I can recharge myself. I become very unhappy.
Have you gotten your soul time recently? :)
