Alone, is always framed in such a negative way, for that I don't quite understand.
I get we all feel lonely from time to time, but being alone, is something I'm quite fond of. Maybe it's because it's a sense of being that is often out of reach.
Maybe it's because my children talk a lot, argue, or because my daughter has decided singing is her 'new hobby' so she says.
That sense of silence that brings absolute peace. I crave that.
This morning I went and had a massage and facial. I've only ever done that once before, and never on a week day when everyone else is going about their business.
For that I am grateful.
Hubby is going to arrange a visit to his parents and leave me behind. I've been busting to be 'left behind' for some time now.
"What will you do? Go out and party with the girls?" he asks
But I tell him I wouldn't waste my alone time like that. I want to clean my house up and bask in the cleanliness of it all. Perhaps I'll watch a movie, blog, scrapbook. Maybe I might even sew.
Regardless of what I will do I will be alone and I will love it.
Linking up with Maxabella over at the Village Voices for 52 weeks of Grateful.
Cheers
Mandy.
I'm appreciating 'alone' time more and more lately.

I love alone time mandy, I have it as we speak, the boys have headed off to footy training...the joy's of having boys that want to go with Dad wherever he goes!! Enjoy your weekend of peace x
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE alone time! No fighting, constant chatter and demands! Good work on the much deserved pampering!
ReplyDeleteMy me time has definitely taken on a different look since I had the kids. Always quiet pursuits like reading or doing something active. Rarely out with the girls. Far too much noise involved in that! Glad you had some time to yourself and a massage and a facial sounds like a SUPERB way to spend it! x
ReplyDeleteAlone time is so rare that we can't help but be grateful when it occurs. Sounds like just perfect alone time to me.
