Joy Dare- May 25

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?!?!?!
