I Did What I Wanted to Do

Frequently, I tell myself I should do things.  Like be outside, exercise, be more involved in the community...And, those are all good things for me to do. 

But, today, I did what I wanted to do:  read a book.  It was not a pressing, important, compelling book.  It was just a novel, and I read while I watched NASCAR, then turned the TV off and enjoyed the quiet. 

I think the cats enjoyed the quiet, too. 

Lesson to self:  I can give myself permission to do this more often.
