Clearly My Best Shot Monday

Moments of peace and quiet which allow coherent, clear thoughts are few and far between in my house.  Yeah, thought you would identify with that.  In the hopes of maintaining my sanity, Saturdays often find me downtown...alone...browsing antique shops, thrift stores and daydreaming in a cozy little coffee house tucked inside a tiny corner building filled with vintage delights and art...slowly sipping an iced white chocolate latte, taking deliberate breaths, inhaling the scent of a different place.  The word nirvana comes to mind. 

I become completely me again.  No longer a wife, a mom of four sons...but me.  I would never change my life, never eliminate any role I play, and sometimes guilt arises during these solo excursions.  But still it is so good to just be me.  To have time to once again see life through the eyes of a woman...not a woman who is a wife, a mother...but simply a woman.  Clearly, a woman needs time for herself...

Please, share your Best Shot Monday...whatever the inspiration.

If this is your first time visiting BSM, welcome, and join in by simply commenting with a link to your favorite photo of the week.  I'll be hosting again next Monday while Tracey is out there somewhere.
