Peaceful Quiet

It is 1:00 in the morning and I'm will soon be heading to bed.  Grant left today after we had lunch during my break at work.  I was feeling pretty sad last night so I was happy when we said goodbye that I was able to just give him a big hug and kiss and not feel teary like I am now as I write this.  He is going to have such a long drive by himself to California and I pray for his safety and well-being on the trip.  After getting home from work, leftovers became my dinner.  To my surprise, I really listened to my body when it told me I was feeling full and I stopped and fed our garbage disposal, instead of giving in to the puppy eyes of Ellie just desperate to have me share.  The entire evening was spent working on things around the house that I've been neglecting to do.  A productive night with no t.v., music.  Just me and my thoughts while my hands kept busy.  Looking forward to having dinner with Debra tomorrow at one of our favorite restaurants.  Oh, the blessing of friendship.  Goodnight.
