Best Feeling

One of my very favorite times of the day is when I put away the last dinner dish, wipe down the counters and turn off the kitchen lights. 

Leaving the kitchen after dinner signals that I am done. 

I am done.

I have made it through another day of taking care of my family to the best of my ability. 

Everyone is fed and on their own for the rest of the night. 

It may have been good day. It might have been a bad day. I may have been in a good mood. I might have been a grouch.

Either way, when I turn off the kitchen lights after dinner, I feel my body loosen up.

Best Feeling.

Silver lining for the day: I am done with dinner! The night is my own!
