Creating some space for myself...

I work at home.  I play at home.  I cook at home and eat at home and see clients at home and...well, you get it.  Last night I got SUPER claustrophobic and had to get out...I ended up on an adventure (if, by "adventure" we can refer to a leisurely trip to the local Long's Drug Store).  I went to just be somewhere else by myself and ended up wandering every aisle see what was what.  Found some shampoo and 47 thousand flavors of sugar free gum...but mostly I didn't talk to anyone.  I just wandered with my own thoughts.

I love spending time alone.  It's nice to go to the gym or walk the dog, but I love that quiet time when I can just read or think my own thoughts.  I don't make that space for myself often enough.  I need to do that.  It helps me feel balanced and calm.

Today I saw clients back-to-back and have a pile of work still ahead.  But I may carve out a bit of me-time tomorrow.  Me and my 47 thousand flavors of sugar free gum time, that is.  ;-)

Peace and joy ~ Shannon

Shannon, you mention claustrophobia. When the scheduler called to set up my MRI that was her first question, are you claustrophobic? I told her not that I know of ;o) It is nice just to get out by yourself now and then, I totally agree. Have a great evening. Betti

That time to yourself is all-important. I'm on my way to the barn now to spend "alone" time with my cows for a couple of hours!

This was a message we could all "chew" on! LOL

Time to think seems to be a thing of the past, but, as you usually do, you challenge us to do what is best for ourselves. Thinking about what you said, I turned off the radio in the car while driving home today, just to get peace and quiet. It was wonderful!

I know exactly what you mean.

I remember vividly when my kids were little and I'd get "housebound" my idea of fun was going to the grocery store by myself....amazing how calming the produce section can be.

As for the sugarless gum...I should buy stock in Orbit ....the Bubblemint is my favorite, it's SF AND it's bubblegum - woo hoooooo!!

2 weeks, my friend, 2 weeks!!!!
