3 Hard giving thanks for:
1- Not having a consistent routine during summer months.
2- Being alone (or at least being lonely)
3- Stillness and quietness... of my house right now.
Geez, I could have started on an easier day.
Most mom's I know would love these "gifts". Most women I know would love a summer of less responsibility, being alone with their thoughts and everything being still and quiet around them. I know there have been times earlier in my life where I would have carved little bits of quiet time in my busy life. So why is it so painful now?
If I could learn to view these things as a blessing rather than a curse, I think life would be easier. So maybe I could learn to do something new with these.
1- Do something constructive every day... meet someone for coffee, do an art project, exercise with a friend. That would all add routine to my day.
2- Learn to do things by myself. Dare I say, go eat at a restaurant or to a movie? Probably need to go with baby steps.
3- Embrace the quiet. Fill it with music, peaceful music. Read a book, journal, blog?!?!?!
