I have been feeling like Christmas morning ever since last night. I finally earned my free plane ticket. A free plane ticket to wherever I click. It took a year and fourteen flights, but I am here. And now I get to decide where there is.
I have always wanted to take a trip alone. I haven't been brave enough. Or comfortable with being just one. But I think it is time.
I am giddy.
So. I think I will pick a place where shoes aren't needed. Or jackets. I will pack a suitcase full of sandals and dresses and loads and loads of lovely books.
And once I get there I would like to walk and read and drink coffee. And maybe buy a newspaper that is longer than four sheets and get lost in the happenings of the world at a small table on a busy street.
That's what I'll do.
This made me smile. I can picture you and your pathetic lonesome! Ha!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm .... un-rushed vacationing book-reading bliss. I remember a summer that our family toured England, Scotland, and Wales. One week we rented a cottage in northern Wales that overlooked the sea and I would read every morning in the Welsh countryside. This is one of my few precious memories. Congratulations on your tickets and have fun on your trip, I am sure you deserve it.
ReplyDeleteListen Abbie Butt, I'm fine with my pathetic aloneness. I'm going to revel in it.
ReplyDeleteI love your buttons. And pushing them. I'm tired of being alone. We should switch jobs. Ok. No we shouldn't...for the well being of all children involved.
