A Day of Rest

sleeping in

lingering in pajamas

with hot coffee in hand

time with God

a time to write

pour out my feelings

including ones i didn't know were there

thinking about school

and a drive to lincoln

grocery shopping wins out

with a quick stop to hunt for some sweaters

because i'm an adult now

and need to dress like it

and i'm surprised because it's all more fun than i thought

even the clothes shopping

and i realize i'm learning how to be alone

and to enjoy my own company

just like i'd hoped would someday happen

conquering a pumpkin

turning it into soup

but disappointed that the pumpkin seeds were just not right

i tried to bake them anyways

oh, how i love pumpkin seeds

but they were awful

cleaning the kitchen with a glass of wine and oldies serenading me

before the wine joined me for a movie

and picture editing

and i'm wrapped up in the world of Jane Austen

and brought back to last weekend

all at once

yes.

a day of rest indeed.
