Another day, another sunset

Hello again. Today was a decent day. My husband talked with his sister who lives overseas - and we got to hear her baby cooing and babbling in the background! what a blessing! I live for Sabbath - it is such a shelter for me from the week. Worries - be gone! I will not think about you until sunset. Cleaning?! Hah! like that'll happen on my Sabbath. While I have been known to work (as a nurses aide) on Sabbath - I still make the day feel special - special breakfast food, special music, and special thoughts. God knew what he was doing when He made the Sabbath for us - He knew what our lives would become and what we would need. Even from the beginning He took care of us and cared for us!
I need to tell a secret. I don't like people. The official diagnosis for that is "agoraphobia." And I have it, if only mildly - but put me in a room with loud noisy people accomplishing nothing, and I will find a quiet corner, and read a magazine. Like I did tonight at a friends birthday party. I'm not trying to be rude, I just can't take all that noice! My husband thrives on it, so we have to work out compromises - we've had to do this since we started dating. It took him quite awhile to realize that I was serious I couldn't be around people as much as he wanted to be - but I will go out sometimes with him, and other times he goes by himself. Bad wife? maybe a little. Limiting activities does help keep my sanity - and we all know that once that's gone there's no getting any more!
