Alone in the dark once more. Sipping hot coffee and planning out my day.
A night out with friends always makes for a wonderful day. Whether its dinner, a movie, Game night or just drinks by the fire, the company of those you love can change your entire outlook on a crappy day.
What about alone time?
You know I have mine, bless your hearts you end up reading about it.
Time alone is easy and enjoyable when you like the company you are with.
Did you get that?
Read it again.
I like my own company.
I like who I am and love spending time with me as much as I love time with a bestie.
I can talk myself into shenanigans faster than anyone.
I am comfortable having a meal at a restaurant alone.
Table for one.
I’m sure people think, how sad, she doesnt have anyone to share a meal with today.
Or maybe something not as nice if I’m bellied up to the bar having margarita appetizers.
Please, I can make a sandwich at home.
I can order pizza.
I can mix a cocktail.
I can go to a drive thru.
I choose to sit and enjoy a meal without conversation.
Enjoying each bite, inhaling the aroma of each spice, tasting the flavors slowly, sipping a nice wine.
People watching, day planning, relaxing.
But most importantly, spending time with someone I love.
Refilling myself so I can continue to share with others.
If only everyone would love themselves for who they are and aspire to be.
It makes it so much easier to love others unconditionally.
I love my own company.
When I learned to do that, my life bloomed, became less self conscious, doubting, insecure and more challenging, aware, secure and happy.
Love you. I do!
Lorene
