Lazy day off

Guess what? I took the rest of this week off. About time I use up the millions of hours of overtime. So, today I slept in (well, only til 5am because I am used to getting up 4.5 hours AHEAD), and then had a nice cuppa tea.. bid fiance good bye when he left for work then I went out for a 3 hour bike ride. It was SO nice out today it was fantastic.  I stopped about halfway along this long road through agricultural area and stopped and sat in a grassy field for a little break and just felt so grateful for how beautiful it is here and  was actually marveling at what a great life I have. Yeah, and you may think thats like bragging or something, but I really realized while I was away how important it is to just enjoy life and all its little and big wonders.  I found this pair of wide leg jeans awhile ago so wore them today when I went to get groceries.  Not great photos today but you know what? Thats okay with me!!!

So I hope you are all doing well. It's good to be back and I will catch up with you over the next  few days.  I read a whole novel on my flight home. Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage by Elizabeth Gilbert.  Was pretty good!!

  7. You are so freaking awesome I can barely contain myself. What to do, what to do. Well I can tell you I love you and I am pleased to hear the title of the book you are reading. Sounds like you are Exploring some ways of thinking. That is so cool. I guess I should read this book too as one of your readers also recommended it. I have never heard of it before.

    Thanks for sharing all of your life with us.

  12. Lilacs are blooming in the NW! Nice day off outfit. And great note to stop and appreciate life's gifts, like a sunny day, and the smell of cut grass, and jeans that are cute and comfortable!
