You wake up, do your routine, go to work, go home, do your routine, and go to sleep. And the cycle goes on and on, until you realize that life is full of adventures that are just waiting for you to take. I started changing my routines. From usually coffee breakfast then straight to the office, I now do yoga and sometimes go out of the neighborhood and try to make new friend. It’s kinda fun, and I’m excited for what’s yet to come.

I've never lived alone, but the times when my husband has gone out of town for a weekend and I'm all alone I've come to realize that it's OK to make good food even if it's "just me." That may seem totally silly, but for a while, I'd usually pull together some leftovers or a sandwich or something because it didn't feel like the kind of occasion when I should actually go through the process of making a nice meal if I'd be the only one eating it. Now, though, on the rare occasion that he's gone, I usually try to make at least one nicer thing for myself (or I wind up treating myself to Chinese takeout, since my husband doesn't like Chinese food).

If I'm not paying attention it's sooo easy to not speak to a single human being from the time I leave work on Friday until I come back on Monday morning.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09369797024793657697noreply@blogger.com
