Daily 5 - Day 363

Today's Daily 5:
  1. Fun numbers like 363
  2. cuddling baby M at house church and making him giggle by playing peek-a-boo
  3. unexpectedly being offered a ride to house church instead of needing to take the bus
  4. fitting in a little bit of pleasure reading, and even some time just listening to a sermon I'd been wanting to take time to listen to
  5. chatting briefly with a dear friend
  6. laughing together with friends
  7. candles
  8. the scent of frankincense and myrrh
  9. crazy, wavy, all over the place naturally dried hair.
  10. iphone apps

How to Be Alone

I've learned, sometimes, in the (very much ongoing) processing of learning to love myself, to exercise self-care, to really see myself as valueable, that though being alone is so often my preference based solely on personality, I am not always gentle with myself, and being alone is sometimes something that causes me to consider myself second-rate.

While I didn't totally agree with or love everything in this video I came across earlier this week, it did make me smile, and I thought I'd share.
