The surrounding areas of Nanjing on May Day are very small, so you can quietly give yourself a holiday~

After being a mother for more than ten years, I finally understand that the most important thing to learn in parenting is to make gentle reconciliation with yourself. This May Day, I checked in alone at Anyue Hotel Tianmu Lake, a 1.5-hour drive from Nanjing, and regained my sense of self that had been diluted by the trivial life amidst the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. . In the early morning, the sunlight shines through the gauze curtains and gently wakes me up. Pulling open the curtains, the succulents on the balcony were covered with morning dew, trembling gently in the breeze. Sit on a rattan chair, drink a cup of coffee, watch the sunlight jump from the lake to your fingertips, and your tense nerves in the city will suddenly relax. . Make a pot of tea in the afternoon, take a sip, and the fragrance of flowers mixed with the scent of grass and trees spreads on your tongue. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the lake is flowing slowly, and occasionally egrets fly over the reeds. For a whole afternoon, I didn't have to think about anything. I just watched the tea leaves floating up and down in the cup and listened to the crisp sound of the teaspoon hitting the teacup. Unconsciously, my fatigue was softened by the fragrance of the tea. . Go to the lakeside in the evening to watch the sunset. A mother was taking a photo of her daughter. The little girl's skirt was blown up by the lake breeze. The picture was so healing. . There is romance in breakfast: the soup base of the freshly made wontons is boiled until milky white, and when you bite into the fresh meat filling, you can vaguely taste the sweetness of the dried shrimp; the mugwort cake is soft, glutinous and fragrant. In such a beautiful morning, even drinking coffee becomes a pleasure. . Don’t worry about not having time to take care of your kids - the hotel’s parent-child area allows children to play all day long: the indoor children’s playground has an ocean ball and picture book corner, and there are cartoon floating boards by the outdoor swimming pool. Fly kites on the lawn in the morning, hand them over to the children's club in the afternoon, and hide in the lakeside book bar by yourself. This rhythm of "half day as a mom, half day by yourself" is the right way to take your children on vacation. . It turns out that the foundation for loving children is to first become an adult who can recharge yourself. This May Day, why not temporarily bid farewell to the label of being a mother, and go to the lake breeze of Tianmu Lake to listen to your own heartbeat - those moments when you are moved by the morning light, the fragrance of tea, and the sunset are the most precious self-sustaining energy during the years of parenting.
