I feel as though your Substack, which I discovered yesterday, has unlocked something in me. Has paved a path in my brain that was previously blocked. The inspiration it has given me has me writing my own post for small pleasures I found this February. I was surprised that when I stepped back I had many small pleasures that carried me through this month, that my depression did not have as strong a hold on me and perhaps won't moving forward if I know where to look and what to focus on. And now I will look towards leisure and other small pleasures as spring slowly breaks through the winter!

Ah that makes me so happy to hear and I'm so glad to have you here! Excited for you to write about your small pleasures for this month. It always amazes me when I think about my small pleasures too and how much joy they bring me, even during tough times. Wishing you the best spring season ahead :') 🌷🌷🌷

YES to PTO for leisure! It's something I regret not taking advantage of when I was still working full-time. Sometimes I reflect back on how a part of our compensation package are the PTOs and sick days and how I actually never took full advantage. Loved this! Thanks for sharing 💌

this is soooo true! for me my favorite leisure activities are reading, going to the beach (I live right down the street), or junk journaling! I have been trying to block off my Saturdays for true leisure -- no plans, just relaxing and it's been great! thanks for sharing!
