Resting Up

Was I missed?
I missed being able to share....
Thank you stopping by!

Vacations are great!  It's good to get away, have a new perspective, see new things, and be away from the trivial stuff that can interfere with finding our own joy!

My time was spent with family -- and that can be intense as it was 12 hours in the car with my kids and my granddaughter.  All went well, and we tolerated each other without too much fussing!  Sadie was my co-pilot the entire way!  She sits on the armrest between the front seats.  When she's tired, she lays her head on my shoulder and tries to catch a few zzz's.

But after coming back, work becomes hellish as things need to be caught up.  Saturday was spent on the usual chores that need to be done, and today is my quiet afternoon.  Sitting with a book, enjoying someone else's life for a brief interlude, and watching people out the window.  (And of course, entertaining Sadie!  She wanted to play fetch!!)

Thank goodness for time to myself before another week of work fun begins again!

Read-a-thon

Books are the 
quietest and most 
constant of friends; 
they are the most 
accessible and wisest 
of counselors, and the 
most patient of teachers.  ~Charles W. Eliot

that we are not alone.”

Wednesday after work and the
usual chores, I wanted to do
nothing but get lost in a book.

When life becomes stressful, 
sometimes the best escape
can be found in the pages of
a good book.  that's when i turn
to something with strong characters,
a good story line, something that
helps me forget my reality for a 
little while, lets me escape into
someone else's thoughts.
Just for a little while.  :)

Sox!

At the last minute

I decided to add

this post.

Evenings have turned

cool-ish

and nothing feels better

than a pair of socks

when your toes are

chilled!

Most evenings,

I can be found

enjoying a book

right before bed.

Sweet dreams, everyone!
