It would probably be far more interesting to say I had an exciting weekend but I don't have any need to seem interesting to anyone but my guy, who definitely finds me so, and that's why I'm going to tell the truth and say, this weekend I did not much but it was good enough.
It also wasn't my weekend but, our weekend, because I had my guy along for company throughout and we focused on spending quality time together to the exclusion of everyone else; selfish? Yes it was and we're ok with that.
We watched episodes of our favourite TV shows, made a few simple but scrumptious meals, read our books and I even challenged my man to a game of chess and beat him! Ok, not really, he won, but he had to work for it but he's so pleased to see my chess skills are improving. I did some coloring in while he did some things in his workshop and I had a bubble bath or three. We didn't leave the house except to go to the cinema to see a movie which is where I took the photo. No, I'm not wearing new jeans and boots...but yes I look cute in them. 🙃
It really was such a nice weekend no matter which angle I look back at it from and the weather even played along somewhat, so much so that we ate most of our meals outside, something we love doing.
There was two hiccups on the weekend though, the first being the most obvious - it wasn't long enough - and the second being that we only had one avocado to make guacamole with and there wasn't even close to enough for our needs. We couldn't change the first and made-do on the second point though and it didn't really diminish our enjoyment at all.
Out of 10 the weekend was a 9.5 and while we didn't do much at all, what we did was good enough.
What a beautiful song Taylor sings... beautiful song!
The important thing is that they spent the weekend together, and the simple things are the best things in life. I have very similar boots and I love them!
Glad it was a 9.5 weekend, that's a very good score. I hope the next one will be a 10!
Hugs Becca💗
Yes, it was a lovely weekend and I'd like to replicate it again and again. You know those times when it's just you and your significant other without other distractions? So nice. But the next one being a 10? Maybe, but only if it's a long weekend!
I thought you'd like my boots. 🙃

Is life perfect?
No, of course not...we are the ones who create the moments that make us feel good, calm and safe with our loved one...
Reading your story for me was a 10/10.
That Taylor Swift song is gorgeous, although her somewhat melancholic lyrics are one of my favorites...
The boots look great!

Perfection doesn't exist I think and it's better to seek enjoyment and fulfillment instead; because it's easier to find more often life is better more often.

Simplicity at it's finest. Nothing wrong with a chill easygoing weekend. Good time with the people we love. They are the best times for sure. Just curious is the guy you speak of from Hive?
People often over complicate things and try to look for perfection; we're more inclined to look for enjoyment without the need for perfection. And yes, he is.
Exactly they be doing that. It's hard because sometimes it's just ingrained in a person to be a perfectionist and maybe they get ocd if it's not that way. I don't feel there's anything wrong with that. I just think they need to take it slow, relax and enjoy how things aren't always meant to be perfect. Enjoy the state of things now because it may not be that way in the future. I feel like I think I know who it is haha.
Constantly driving towards perfection or seeking momentous moments in life often means a person can't or won't focus on the smaller things that occur much more frequently and that can mean a less fulfilling life. I believe it's better to experience life to it's full extent and that means accepting the little things in it every day, celebrating them, and finding meaning in them and when those bigger moments come along, they're the cherry on the top.

I feel that way too. I was just saying it's not the same for everybody if it wasn't clear. Just gotta chill and enjoy life speaking of which I will be going to play pickleball soon so will see you around
