Quiet weekend plans
I'm a pretty strong introvert and I need to have my alone time in order to feel centered. I've been spending lots of time with other people recently, and I've gotten out of balance. I was hoping to take advantage of the long weekend and go camping at a state park for some alone, quiet, do-nothing time. But the forecast is calling for thunderstorms, rain, and rain with thunder all weekend.
Gah! All my attempts at solo camping seem to be thwarted. Perhaps I will try a daytrip out to a park and at least get some nice scenery or hiking. Other plans for the weekend include: sleeping in, being alone, meditation, contemplative quiet, trying out new recipes, listening to the rain.
I will do my best to NOT: go shopping, obsessively reorganize an entire room of my house, or do anything resembling excitement. I think mindfulness will be the order of the weekend. I will not watch movies or TV. I will NOT listen to NPR. (Oh, that was difficult even to type! ) I think I will even try not to turn on any electric lights after dark, but have only candle light. That way I won't be tempted to stay up until 1am, but will go to bed at a reasonable hour.
Hmm...this is sounding like a really nice idea. I think I will enjoy my weekend.
