This summer has been AH MAZ ING (In my Rachel Zoe voice)! I took a view vacations stayed out late, hung out with friends and enjoyed the fact that my job was on Summer Hours so I was able to have Friday to hang out (love my job)! With all of this hoopla going on, I still had the opportunity to spend some time with a very important person------------ME!
Believe it or not, I have always found some sort of gratification in being around people, whether it be family or friends. Its just always been something I have done, so I decided to try something different. I would come home from work and instead of making plans or watching my favorite television shows I got quiet, curled up on my couch, and looked at the ceiling. No TV>No Books>No Hubby>No Nothing....just me in total silence. I tested the waters in public and also began having lunch with myself, by myself It has been amazing, and in this process, I have discovered a lot of things about myself. Things like....
1. I love scallions
2. I despise people who chew with their mouth open
3. I love Cabernet (who knew)
4. I would love to become a vegetarian for like a month
5. I really miss my Grandfather
6. I would love to camp out for a night in a tent and all (outside)
7. I feel better when I workout in the morning
8. I am glad my Brother and I are so close
9. I need to go back to Hawaii
10. I love being married but sharing a bathroom I do not like
....this is not it, but these are the main things. I wouldn't go as far to say that this was self discovery, but this just goes to show that when you get quiet....you hear more.
I feel fortunate because I had the opportunity to live alone before I got married, and during that time I definitely got to know myself better, but after a few years of marriage....definitely time to get some alone time in.
Two weeks away from my 30th birthday (whether I like it or not) I have friends and I adore them I have family and they are cool too....I'm also digging the guy that I have chosen to spend my life with....but a wise woman (aka Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City) "Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."
