Do not really have any plans for the day, so have been doing chores around the house of my own, laundry, tending to the garden and yard, cooking myself some breakfast and puttering I guess. Kind of a nice change from the frantic pace that so often can find me. I tend to fill each day with people, activities, places and things and somehow have forgotten how to simply be at home and relax. I have to say, it is rather nice.
Lunch is in the oven now. Had a cool snap today so decided to do a Grilled Chicken with sauteed Carrots, Onions, Peppers and Garlic Alfredo Gratin. I have all the doors and windows open and the breeze and smells from a fresh rain are drifting through the house. It is a good day to pad aroundbarefoot without a shirt on and a care in the world. A great day for a lie about and nap.
I think I may just stay home all day today. I have no idea when I did that last. With the lights off, everything is cool and dark and it feels like a good day to retreat away and walk softly around in the silence. Maybe practice some piano later, play through some old favorites or tackle some of the new music I have been picking up lately. Sun up to sun down at home. How does that sound? I'd ask you to join me but I rather enjoy my own company. The peace and quiet suits me. I have needed it and did not know that.
I will cease for now.

Good for you. Lazy day here too - mostly alone by and in the pool, surrounded by dense trees. Forgot for awhile I was in a major city.
ReplyDeleteSounds rather nice. Too cool to be in the pool today. Nippy in fact. Still kind of jelly. Enjoy!

That sounds like a lovely day indeed! I'm glad you're able to remain friends with Nick like that. Most of my relationships have ended such that friendships were not possible afterward. Then again, a lot of my former lovers would not have made very good friends, either. It sounds like Nick is a decent sort of guy, though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments TCO. Nick IS an amazing guy. I never will regret our time spent together nor the fact that we have remained friends despite the years and space. Come to think of it, I am still friends with all the the exes I am still in contact with and do not count any of them as bad people or enemies. I have fond memories of them all and the time, life, space and memories that we share. People come in and out of our lives for a season and a reason. I have lost track of some, but I am sure I may see them again someday, and when I do...I will smile. :)
