Sinful!
SO I did it last night. I KNOW! It was so awkward at first. I mean I used to do it a lot when I was a teen and 20-something but it has been decades! Great. Now I dated myself. Damn. Guess it helps to punctuate the significance of me finally doing it again at this point. Surrounded by kids all the time and the huge list of house chores that always seems to call my name and snag my attention away like an unbalanced cheque book, it is understandable that it is easier to just grab the TV remote at the end of the day and flomp back into the couch nest and drool until dragging myself to bed beside the snoring King of the Keep. Totally understandable! ( Hey, that is what I tell myself so leave my self justification alone! It gets me through the days!) Last night I decided to listen to that quote I love so much.
Be the Change you Want to See in the World!
I turned off the remote. I ignored the " too tired", " too hard", and " too much effort to initiate" and just did it. Climbed my backside out of the corner nest of my favorite brown couch and stretched out across the cushions, turned on the side lamp and, biting my bottom lip, I reached out a shaky sinful hand. I knew it was a sure thing but I still felt unsure about the whole plan. An hour later I chuckled at myself and wondered why I had waited so long! I took my warm and tired self to bed with a peaceful mind and happy heart.
I have missed reading before bed! ( you dirty bird!!! What did you think I was doing?! AND you thought I would write about it publicly?! Good heavens! I'm not that kinda of girl - in public!) I have a stack of books sitting here on my coffee table yet I so seldom take the time to read. They are my stack of "Some Days" and " good intentions". I think it's time to change that illicit affair into a committed relationship. ( There. Joined you in that thought process! LOL)
Hello my beloved books. I have missed you!
