It’s been an unusually busy week. I’ve seen friends almost every night this week. Oh so fun! But, I can only take that pace for so long, and then I need to be home. Tonight, I was given the gift of an evening, alone, in my house. God bless my mate! He took the kids and headed off to spend the night with a group of our friends. When I told him I would love to stay home, he said, “Go for it!” It took me a few minutes to decide that being home, alone, would be good for my soul. It’s amazing all that one can accomplish and enjoy without children clamoring for attention!

ReplyDeleteI feel like a night alone to do whatever you want to do will lead to great things for all! I appreciate the simple list approach to sharing your night...it really reflects the preciousness of time, and a mother's time alone in her own space. ENJOY!
I like that - "a mother's time alone in her own space." :)
ReplyDeleteSo interesting...you made dinner for one, which is the story of my life...and how many times have I wanted to make dinner for two...interesting perspective!
