The Pleasures of Living Alone

(Note: This does not mean that I want to live alone forever…but while I’m here, I’m enjoying it!)

1. Waking up without an alarm (mine or anyone else’s)- every single morning.
2. Having been awake for two hours, but not having yet gotten out of bed, nor spoken a word.
3. Upon waking, reaching over to my book-covered nightstand to find something to read, and then staying in bed for two hours doing so.
4. Eating whatever I want whenever I want without worry about having to feed someone else.  (This morning it’s fresh brewed iced green tea and homemade cornbread.)
5. The quiet.
