Ten hours. That's how long I got to be home alone today. Ten hours of silence and solitude. At the end of a rough week, it was bliss.
From daylight ...
... to dark.
I was able to take care of some projects, stare at the window at all the birds in our yard, read my Bible, clean up some messes, take a few short breaks from silence to listen to Christmas music, sit on the couch and stare at the fire Tim built before leaving, pray, stretch, finish a few library books, and drink lots of tea.
There's no question that I'm an extrovert who needs time with people, but on this day time alone was absolutely perfect. I'm so thankful things worked out for me to have this chance to rest, truly rest.
