Day As It Is
Tue Nov 30 2004

Do you think you can call the party successful if after it you’ve got to paint the ceiling?...Hmmmm…Perhaps, next time I need to organise “Bring-Your-Own-Paint-Brush” Party and have all those hunky cowboys to come too…
But since this time it wasn’t on the agenda, after general clean up operation yesterday, today, I’ve climbed up the chair with a paint roller in one hand and a paint tray in another…Hmmmm…I felt myself an artist, decorating the Sistine Chapel. Well, I could’ve been, if I’d have more variety to my palette of pure white…

I must admit it was not as bad as I thought it will be (never had to paint ceilings in my life and I suspect - in any of my previous lives as well). Both, the ceiling and the painter have been covered in perfectly even white in less then 3 hours…it was kind of fun even, especially the part, when I glanced at the mirror after I finished…I take it 40 minutes of ferocious rubbing off those cute white spots in the shower is perfectly acceptable concession when the inspiration takes you up to the vaults of your local “heaven-to-be”…

Anyway…other then decorative work (which has been unobtrusive fun anyway), I’ve treated myself to the wonderful mini-holiday today. I took a day off, stayed at home, slept till midday (yeah!!! yeah!!!)…and in general – am just enjoying the day. The idea came spontaneously, but I guess, this was the beauty of it. I don’t like planned holidays, coz you always wait for them in anticipation and most often disappointed when they come…

This time I’ve suddenly felt so wanting a time for myself, that couldn’t resist treating my beloved self…Why not? I’m on my own anyway, so – there would be no romping about in the morning, the blissful hours, when the best sequels to my dreams are shown on my sleep channel…ohhhh…I think, I could kill anyone who would dare to disturb me in these hours. But today – I had it all to myself….Niiiiiiiiiiice.

There is nothing wrong in taking day off just to have a sleep out, isn’t it? To spend a day doing all sorts of things as they come to mind, not to plan anything and have something accomplished. To live through the day with the music and sing along to it, coz nobody’s there to hear you. To read a book, to watch a movie. To take a day for what it is and not for what it should be. There is nothing wrong to pamper yourself from time to time with a Day On Your Own, with a Day As It Is.

    I don't know about men, but I do know the female soul requires pampering from time to time.

    So PAMPER. Sleep in. Bubble bath. Read. Devour a box of chocolates.

    But pamper, when the time feels right!

    Shalom

    You are right. Oh! *I've* painted a ceiling before, and it was like being in the third circle of *HELL*. I should've gotten one of my manservants to do it for me.

    Love from all of us ;)

    When one seeks… ones mind formulates questions and then possible directions from the possibility of answers that come to mind… When we ask of another the confirmation of our ideas by asking the correct question… we receive a direction or perspective to frame our thoughts within… We seek the affirmation of the thought process that the correct questions will bring to us… what is trouble some at times is questions asked of us that bring forth private matters… for the sake of revealing or causing an in bare ass situation… The quest of the nosy is to know… the quest of the inquisitive is to have the answers they have formulated due to thought affirmed…
