Me Time

It is so interesting how perspectives change.  In the past, I had to run miles and miles, then work really really hard to have a good day.      

People would avoid me if I didn't get to exercise.  I would be so very antsy.   It was annoying.    

NOW, if I get an hour of uninterrupted NPR, or even better, an episode of THIS AMERICAN LIFE, I am content.  

IF I get to sew while listening to above program, I am practically giddy.  

If by any lucky chance I get to meander through our meadow with my three cute boys, I have arrived.  

Really, when all is said and done, I am content with a bath and a book.

Am I alone in this?  I don't think so.  It seems all of my friends that find themselves with little ones feel the same.  Here is to this moment in our lives when taking a shower can make a day!  Oh, it is just the simple things.
