Day 10: quiet moments


Today I am thankful for lazy afternoons. I don’t get many of those, so when I do it’s a rare treat. I went home, had some not-so-healthy snacks and watched Friday Night Lights. I worked on some homework, but none of it is due until next week so there was no stress attached to it. It was a wonderful feeling, to be able to have an afternoon where I wasn't working, or rushing to finish a project. To have a night where I go to sleep early, a night where I sip tea and listen to great music, and just be.

I still have many things to do, but it was refreshing to have a moment of ‘me’ time.  I’ll get back on the grind tomorrow, but today was about healing. There is a quiet strength to being alone, especially when it’s your choice. Parties and going out and hanging out with friends, it’s all wonderful, but sometimes you just need some time off to recharge, ya know?   

I am thankful for those peaceful afternoons, those quiet moments of introspection.

They’re good for the soul.
