Well, 'tis Monday and I am back to reality. I usually get a little "blue" late on Sunday evenings or early Monday mornings, and this week was no exception. I'm so grateful for my quick trip back home, time spent with family, time spent with friends. And I'm very grateful in this economy to have a job I love to come back to, and to all of my wonderful friends here in my town.
Yet, even having said that, I am still a little "blue" on this Monday. I came back home to the same stresses everyone else has. I guess I just wanted to be able to plop back into the comfy guest bed at my mom and dad's house for ONE MORE DAY and be able to pull the covers over my head and just be pampered a wee bit longer.
The girls have left together...Casie had to go back to Conway for the week, and took her little sis with her. Some special "sister time" will be good for them. So, it's me and the dogs for a week. I don't have a dime to spend, since I just got back from the roadtrip, but that's okay. Instead of shopping by myself, or getting with someone to see a movie or go out to eat, I'm going to use it as a time to catch up on my reading, to correspond with some friends, to sleep WHENEVER I want...lol, to eat popcorn for dinner if I feel like it, and to just enjoy myself at home.
Today I am grateful for:
1. Time alone - I am learning to appreciate it instead of dreading it.
2. Good books.
3. Long telephone conversations with special people.
