Some folks need a break from work. Others need a break from difficult people. A few may need a minute away from their spouses or children or parents or friends. Just a little minute or two to catch our breath or reevaluate or sit down.
Life gets busy. People get mean. Situations seem insurmountable. So we take a break. A respite. So we can come back renewed. Rejuvenated. With clearer vision. And a more positive outlook.
Some members of our family are taking a respite.
DoodleBug is taking a respite from having difficult roomies and living downtown and paying rent and utilities. During her respite, she will be living here at home.
Which means I am taking a respite from living in an empty nest!
It's a Win-Win! We've already been enjoying chats about education and shopping and arranging her room and watching documentaries on the History Channel, Castle and The Big Bang Theory and solving the world's problems and cooking--well, I cook, she eats...
Who's the happy mama now?
ME!
The hormonal balance in this house has been set right once again. :)
