relaxed for the first time in weeks.

I came home to an empty house tonight.

I cleaned up the house.  Without grumbling.

I walked the dog.  And took my time.

I sat outside on the deck reading a book.  And lost myself in the storyline for an hour. 

I spoiled my dinner.  By eating a huge bowl of cherries.

I walked around the yard aimlessly.  And played with different camera angles.

I took an extra-long shower.  Without feeling guilty.

I played with the dog.  And let him win at tug-the-rope.

I made homemade tomato basil pizza for dinner.  With a glass of wine.

I lit a candle.  Lavender and mint.

I cuddled with the pup.  And enjoyed how sweet he can be.

What a perfect Thursday night.
