Maggie and I were just walking over the hill by the elementary school at daybreak. You could see down into the basin of the Chattahoochee Valley where the river lies. We were greeted with one of the prettiest and most glorious sunrises I’ve seen in a long time. I hated I didn’t have my camera with me, but I doubt a photo could do justice to what we were experiencing as we crested that hill.
I had a message from my father on my answering machine when I arrived home telling me all my cousins were in town and staying with my parents.
“Come spend some time with us and eat breakfast!” said the answering machine in my cheery father’s voice.
“No thanks,” I muttered under my breath as I deleted the message -- spoken like a truly socially anxious person. “I’d rather eat road kill with Maggie.”
My father thrives in such situations while I languish in uncomfortable awkwardness.

That what I am feeling right now – that itchy, impulsive, can’t wait for something to get here feeling. Tomorrow is grocery day and I am growing very excited. I am like a kid on Christmas Eve.
Mom got me the Kellogg's frosted flakes last week and they were much better than the Kroger brand I have been getting for months. That’s my only message to mom that we forego store brand from now on when it concerns cereal.

It's good to have a reminder that when folks stay away from a party, it isn't because they don't like people. It's just that "too many at once" is overwhelming for some.
I find it to overwhelming alot of times to do the whole family or friends thing. Even thanksgiving means at least one klonpan.
Its funny though because it comes and goes. Sometimes I am find and other times not so much.
I am glad you took the time to enjoy your sunrise

I don't like big family gatherings and avoid them whenever possible. I'm more comfortable with one or two people rather than a crowd.
Sunrises and sunsets can be so beautiful. Glad you got to enjoy it with Maggie.
