The June prompt for #Reverb11 asked, “What can you let yourself off the hook for?” Which sounds an awful lot like gentleness, a favorite word lately, and comfort, my word for the year. So this prompt sounds awfully good to me.
I’m letting myself off the hook for…
1. Venting once in a while (because even if I chose something, I don’t always have to like it).
2. Having a style uniform instead of always dressing creatively.
3. Indulging in the occasional chai latte or other little lifesaver.
4. Not always washing the dishes right after dinner.
5. Having a little clutter in the guest room, and sometimes elsewhere.
6. Reading young adult books. A lot of them.
7. Losing my cooking/knitting/crafting/cleaning mojo once in a while. It always comes back.
8. Saying the wrong thing sometimes.
9. Not saying anything sometimes.
10. Getting distracted (sometimes).
11. Making progress slowly instead of quickly.
12. Being imperfect. (Which really sums up all the others.)
13. Ending the prompt sentence with a preposition.
What can you let yourself off the hook for?
cakes, tea and dreams 
Walking only fifteen minutes instead of thirty.
Never washing my windows
Wearing comfortable shoes instead of strappy heels.
Buying dessert for Sunday lunch rather than baking.
Owning a Sienna van even tho we have an empty nest
Saying “no thanks” to various social activities.
I’m letting myself off the hook for allowing toys to be left in piles in various places of the house
Not working quite as hard
Enjoying many savory summer treats
my space this summer is to slow down and spend more time just being…no pressures…
hope you are doing well

I’m going to make a list right now and then use it for a blog post. It’s a perfect question for my series! 🙂
