GOOD MORNING !
I made it through Monday so the rest of the week should be clear sailing ! It’s been really quiet at my house lately. I get the feeling that I step into an oasis when I get home.
There is no one to disagree with me, no one that gripes or complains, and no one that cares if I spend an hour or two on the computer instead of fixing dinner.
I do feed the critters and they are always happy to see me, but after that…I’m on my own. Believe me, after a day at work, it is my own little bit of heaven here.
I know I’m quite spoiled , but living on my own certainly would have never have been my choice, if I’d had that choice to make. It’s probably a good thing that I go off to work each day, otherwise home might not look as good as it does.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Praise, when used sparingly, retains an everlasting value.
May your day be blessed with a few smiles and lots of sunshine to warm your heart
MA

Oh I love your imagery of "stepping into an oasis" when you get home. I feel that way too because , by choice, I live on my own. My own little private world and I do what I want when I want. A person does need to get out once in a while, if even to go to work, but I live for the time I get to go home again to my peace and quiet and my own little "oasis". I feel very spoiled and very selfish, but love every minute of it.
I nbet it does make your home seem peaceful being alone and you do aprpeciate it by working more.
sometimes I'm sure it's so nice just to come home to a quiet house. Happy you made it through Monday and Hump day is here.
