It’s Summer and you know that means it’s time to catch flights, not feelings! LOL! Well, I didn’t have the opportunity to take a “me-cation” just yet! However, I knew I needed a Mental Health Break before my daughter returned from her dad’s house. I decided to slip away to San Antonio to the La Cantera Resort and Spa for a simple day of relaxation. The car ride alone is soothing to my soul! I love road trips. I like to drive in silence or listen to my favorite tunes while letting the windows down and letting my hair blow in the wind.

I arrived at the resort around 9AM. I checked in for my service and was escorted to the dressing room for my robe and slides! I picked the right day to spend at the pool. Alerts hit my phone around 10AM saying there was a heat advisory. Sure enough, it was 110 degrees that day in San Antonio! HOT HOT! I said at the pool until my appointment and afterward I returned to the pool to relax, journal and read in a book.

It was the perfect day! Quite peaceful swimming in their infinity pool that overlooks hill country and the resort’s golf course. I sat in the Himalayan Salt sauna for a few, sat on the balcony that has a stunning view, showered and got dressed to head back home around 6PM. Some may say, “Is it worth 3 hours there and back?” YES! One day was good for me. Now don’t get me wrong, I would have loved to have stayed for a night but I had to get back to Mommy Mode as my daughter was returning from her dad’s the same day.

Sometimes all we need is a few hours to regroup. Having time where I don’t have to think about anything, no decisions to make and unplugged from everything…it is amazing! It’s my self-care. I deserve it!
