I find that I have a hard time being alone. I an uncomfortable having free time. I like to keep myself busy; work, hanging out with friends, planning coffee dates, never keeping my schedule open. I want to learn to embrace this time. Tonight I have no plans and instead of feeling sorry for myself, I decided to buy some new music, whip up some fresh guacamole and thank God for the life I live. I am thankful for this summer because it is a season of rest. Soon school will be here again and I will wish for moments like these where I can do whatever I want.
So here is a list of things to do when you are alone.
1. Listen to a Pandora station when you need new music
2. Make fresh guacamole
3. Read East of Eden or A Severe Mercy-2 of my favorite books
4. Re-decorate your room-things get boring after a while
5. Watch Julie and Julia-filled with delicious food
6. Blog!
7. Practice harmonizing to your favorite song
8. Write a note to someone who has changed your life
9. Paint your nails turquoise
10. Write a list of things you are thankful for.
I like the harmonizing idea.
