Perfect Coincidence

Posted by Denise Patrick, 10/09/09 08:59 AM

I’ve got a three-day weekend coming up. It’s also the same weekend of my RWA Chapter’s Conference. So, what did I do? I took the two previous days off, too. Five days off work, and heading to the mountains to play with my writing pals. Life doesn’t get any better than this.

Unless you count coming home and having an empty house to myself. Whoa! Life just got better.

I’m not a crowd person by nature, but I love to be around them. I love the energy they give off, the excitement, the anticipation. I also love to watch people. Even so, when the day is done, I love going off to my room – alone. It helps me to wind down and relax so I can go to sleep and be fresh for the next day.

I’m also a family person. But, I love it when the hubby goes home to visit his family and the college kid goes off to visit his sister for a week – and those weeks coincide. Once again, I’m alone and loving it. Of course, during that week, I still have to go back to the day job, but my evenings are mine. And, coming off of a writing conference, I’ll be stoked and ready to write.

Coincidence? Actually, yes it was. I didn’t know (actually, I hadn’t looked up) the dates of our chapter conference when my husband planned his trip home this year. And, after getting the dates set for the kid’s week of sibling bonding (not that my kids need more of that – they are very close), I finally checked my calendar. And discovered nirvana. This weekend and the next week (both hubby and son return next Saturday) are my idea of the perfect coincidence? How about you?
