Fridays
I’m sitting by myself this morning in one of my favorite little places, sipping coffee by myself. I unofficially decided last week that Friday mornings were going to become my time. A time to be still. Not a time to clean the house, not a time to run a bunch of errands. But a time to do something I want to do that I normally wouldn’t be able to do if I was with someone else. Make sense?
Last Friday worked out great because there was a Dad’s Celebration that morning at the boys’ school. My husband took the boys early to go get donuts which was of course more of a bonus. I didn’t even have to shower until 10am! So I crawled back in bed and read a book…for an hour and a half! It was awesome! I even resisted the urge to turn on the tv or radio as I got ready to pick-up the Little Man. It was completely silent in my house. And I was O.K. It is amazing how much you can hear from God if you turn off all the noise…though the “noise” it my head is sometimes harder to turn off.
Today, I’m feeling really cool as I sit with my laptop at a little table by myself, hooked up to the free wifi. Maybe I’ll even Twitter in a minute because…well, that is what cool people do. I may even pull out my book again …because….well….um…I’ve become addicted to these books. I have to admit that when I first heard about people reading these I thought, I am not reading about vampires - how dumb! Well, look who is dumb now! But maybe the laptop will still make me cool! 
Happy Friday, Everyone!
