Sometimes the absolute greatest gift you can give yourself is a night off … a real, true, no household chores, no work of any kind, kind of day.  It started last night with an evening out for a drink (OK, maybe 2), a bite, and a little down time with some folks I adore and hardly ever really get to properly enjoy.

  Then today…well, have I missed days like this!  Hubby and I started out the day with breakfast together and wandered around three towns searching for the perfect yard sale treasures.  I brought home a little art, a vintage stool (that I shall convert to a cute little table), something for which my sister has been in need, AND to top it all off, we ran into some choice folk who always put a smile on my face.  J  Round out the evening with dinner on the grill and a night at home with our furry babies (with no plans for an early morning) and you have one spectacular day. 

I tell you this not to make you jealous, but to remind you that every once in a while it’s okay to take a break.  Read a great book. Soak in the tub with a glass of wine until the water gets cold.  Head out for a walk with no destination in mind.  Enjoy the company of the critter that loves you more than anyone else on the planet.  Drink the wine.  Eat the ice cream. 

If anyone asks, tell them Kerensa made you do it.  I can take it.
