I had a nice slow day today. Washed my hair, ironed, cooked a decent meal, went to Walgreens. I took everything in stride. The humidity is still off the charts and tomorrow brings more storms. Then we are in for a break in our tropical weather.
As I sat in my comfy chair, I sent energy to several people suffering in one way or another. Not that I can say it helped or didn’t help. We never know about things like that, do we?
I only got one donation to the website. That is fine. I am grateful for it. Now I am going to take a few days off and minister to myself. Do things like putter around the house, do some shopping and watch TV.
I am my own priority and best friend. Why? Because no one else wants the job. They are busy doing this for themselves. That is what awakening is all about.
I have weathered the lean years and the impossible years and it would seem that now it is Me Time Big Time. What a concept. In some ways I am still living the life of a housewife. So strange, but I find housekeeping gratifying. I like having things cozy.
Yesterday my next-door neighbor popped in and I told her to sit in my recliner. She loved it!
“After Bob died,” I told her, “ I fixed the great room just for me. I sit in both chairs and on the couch. They are all comfortable.”
The great room is neutral and earthy and feels like a lodge to me. I never get dressed up, usually wear sneakers and simple pants and tops. No fuss, no muss is how I roll these days.
Catch ya on the flip side.

Oh, Vicki, I hear you!! I absolutely love your “Me” time. Such a wonderful day and I’m so glad you had that special, quiet, comfortable time together with yourself. I loved your description of your living room. Ours is the same – neutral earth colors with quilts on the wall. Isn’t it nice when your home can be your sanctuary? Keep on having this wonderful time to do whatever you feel like doing. All my love.
