{shoulda - blogtoberfest day XXI}

I should have been preparing for a job interview tomorrow, 

or getting ready for the Buninyong Maker's Market on Saturday,

or writing an application for a board position with the Emerging Writer's Festival, 

or getting the house ready for the umpteenth open for inspection, 

or getting new things into my Etsy shop, 

or doing the grocery shopping 

or, or, or....

Instead,

I poured myself a cold drink, 

kicked off my shoes, 

put some tunes on,

and lay in the sunshine with a magazine 

(that I didn't even bother reading), 

and boy did my soul thank me for it.
