Knowing and Loving the things that make up Me

Today I did my own thing.  I didn't make any plans with friends and I didn't follow a schedule.  I was spontaneous in doing the things I felt like doing and I feel satisfied with everything I did.  The food I made was delicious, the book I read was fabulous and has been on my list for a while, and the chores I accomplished were necessary so I was happy to do them.  I know I am going to have a busy couple of weeks coming up, and today, I feel like I got in tune with myself.  I do what I want to do in order to make my life better.  It is important to know what needs to be done and to be aware that I am accomplishing the necessary things.  It is also important to keep time open so I can express my freedom and instincts.  Eventually, my instincts are to do what needs to be done; however, on a Saturday like today, I followed my instincts and ended up reading Truman Capote's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" on the couch until 11 pm.  This is the person I am and the person I want to be sometimes.  I love that I know this about myself and am not ashamed of wanting to spend a Saturday night reading.  I would love to have company during times like this, but for now, I can be happy with myself.
