It Is Okay To Have A Mental Health Day

By on May 9, 2026

My arthritis, due to the abrupt changes in weather, has been…intense. The news has been…a lot. The weather is gray.

So I’m having a mental health day today.

I’ve cancelled all of my plans, postponed all the work I can postpone, and I will stay in bed, reading and watching movies and taking it easy.

And that’s okay, my friend.

Life isn’t a race. Our to-do lists are something WE create, not the universe demands we do. They can be to-done (as the Dear Wonderful Hubby jokingly refers to it) tomorrow. Or the next day.

If you need a mental health day and can afford to take one, take one. Refill your energy wells. Regain your happiness. Give your brain and your body a break.

You deserve it!
