a few ideas....

Everyone has great ideas, I'm just gonna add a few that I like...

Fix yourself breakfast in bed, just something small, warm up a muffin and grab a steaming cup of relaxing tea or coffee, curl up with a good book and stay there for awhile, ask your daughter to join you and maybe read a book to her.

After that give yourself permission to take a loooong bubble bath, turn out the lights and add a few candles, use extra shampoo and really lather up your hair, allow yourself to be extravagant!

Curl up in a thick robe and you and your daughter soak your feet in a basin of warm water and milk (4 part water and 1 part milk) add various ingredients, clove and chamomile are relaxing, cinnamon is invigorating, vitamin E oil and oatmeal are both moisturizing, be creative, then give each other foot rubs!

Have tea time, make your own using nice dishes or go somewhere that offers it, you can also go out for coffee and dessert somewhere.

Visit a nursing home and take the time to learn from the wisdom of those who are there, they are almost always willing to share and as you listen to the things that they have overcome then your problems often seem a little bit smaller, there is also the chance that one of them have already been where you are at and can offer some sound advice.

Enjoy!!
Love you buches,
