Another sunny Sabbath in Orange County

Today feels like it's eons long. I don't get many days like this...when, at the end of the day, you look back and think "wow, that was a long day!" and I really like that feeling. Maybe it is because most Sundays I spend 3 hours in church, and I didn't today, or it is because I spent it with some awesome people...it's probably a bit of both :)
My mom has been out of town visiting my sister who lives in Kansas so I have gotten the house all to myself, which is such a nice luxury for me cause there is nothing that will put me in a bad mood faster than a lot of unnecessary commotion that is inevitable with a lot of people in the house, you know? So... today was great! I got to wake up on my own and not by any alarm, aroma coming from the kitchen, blaring cartoons from the living room, or my mom nagging me to get out of bed. I woke up to nothing, and I loved every minute of it. I made myself some oatmeal, and watched some television and just enjoyed my own company...something I love probably more than any other social activity lately. Haha. I think when you have no real time constraint or plans that have a specific time, life goes by much slower and seems a lot less frantic. It's awesome. About 1pm I headed to my Aunts house for some good ole' fun. We just shot the breeze and cooked dinner (which was amazing!) I read a pretty nifty book while at her house today. It was called "10,000 ways to say I love you". It made me smile! Books like that are just fun to read, and make me just a little happier about life :)

Basically, in a small nutshell...(cause I could go on forever describing how awesome this day was)... today was nice and refreshing. Life is too short to get caught up in the dull tasks of everyday life. Switch things up every now and then and maybe life won't be so boring. I don't know...that's just something I seem to be learning. This weekend has been tough, with my car and all, but I mean.. These sorta things are what life is all about! Deal with them, learn from them, then just move on and try not to repeat the same mistake again! Today was just the thing I needed! I love my life. I am so blessed to have what I have, and to be able to do what I do. :)
