Apparently I don't have many interesting things to say or I'd be posting blogs a bit more often, eh? I figure I should get back in the swing of things as my family seems to be taking an interest in this blogging stuff and I can keep up with them this way now too.
I'm finding as the weather becomes colder I am spending more time locked up inside my house rather than venturing out in the big cold world. The older I get, the less I want to be out in this weather...yes, I make my treks to work and back...or to the grocery store...but other than that I've been staying in the house. I use school as my excuse for keeping my detained in here but that's not always the case...I can put off that homework for a couple hours and get outside if I really wanted to...and THAT is the heart of the matter -- I really don't want to leave my house. I like my house. I like spending time in my house. I enjoy hanging out with my dog and cat...snuggling up on the couch with my glass of wine or cup of hot chocolate (spiked with baileys) or coffee...sometimes watching TV, sometime reading books, sometimes crocheting and sometimes must doing NOTHING but watching out the window at the snow blowing around. Am I becoming anti-social? Is it unhealthy to spend this time alone? No, I don't think I'm anti-social nor is it unhealthy to hibernate for a bit in the winter months...for me, its a needed respite from the crazy noise of my daily working world...home is my haven where I can regroup and recover in order to face Monday - Friday. I bet there are many that feel about their homes the same way I do.
So I say -- Enjoy time with yourself in the comfort of your safe haven home...doing nothing, doing something...doesn't much matter as long as you take and make time for YOU.
