alone time

I am a people person, always have been. My parents would tease me that I didn't want to be alone in my room, because I didn't want to miss anything from what was going on downstairs.

Still today, I feel bad about leaving the house alone, or retrieving to my room by myself. Of course I tell myself how important it is and really I do enjoy time alone, but somehow I always find myself thinking of what might be going on in the other room.

However, when the children leave the house without me (as is the case right now, Sophia went for a bike ride with Papa and Mateo is sleeping), I feel perfectly fine and content. I feel myself instantly be in the best mood and spirits. So, I see I need the space and time alone, accepting that I am me and learning to look at that.

After some major bathroom cleaning I just made myself a nice cup of tea in my new favorite cup (thank you Barbara). We recently moved furniture around in the children's room. So, now I have this new opportunity to make it all look inviting, pretty and cozy! Off to that.....
