Doritos and White Wine


Thursday night, solo on the couch
An extra full glass of sauvignon blanc
A handful of red Doritos
A dog that's being entertained by a new toy
And a lone girl on the couch.

Lone, not to be confused with lonely
Because lonely I am not.
Some evenings are best spent 
Just savoring the quiet,
Well, my version of quiet.

The latest episode of Smash
Playing on the TV is quiet
With the whir of the dishwasher
The ripped up new toy all over the floor
And the vacuum cleaner whispering my name.

I'm thinking of all that 
I could be doing
Should be doing 
Instead of what I am...
Just being.

Oh yeah, that sounds like an awesome combination - seriously. I love the idea of just being, all those other things can always wait.

LOVE! And I especially love that you don't feel guilty about letting everything wait while you have you time!

Absolutely! I just posted about seeking silence and solitude earlier this week...they are so needed! Glad you enjoyed your wine and Doritos, that's a combo I'll have to try some time ;)

Yep sometimes it's nice to just sit still...and not be on the go all the time.
