Hi Reader,

I’ve got a scan booked this afternoon… a Senior Citizens Afternoon Nap!

No appointment necessary—just a cosy spot on the couch, maybe a good book I won’t get past page three of, and a quiet hour to myself. Honestly, these scans are becoming the highlight of my week!

But before I nod off, I wanted to share a few lovely ideas in this week's newsletter to help you enjoy your own quiet moments—or get out and about, if that’s more your style.

Enjoy,
Terrie
