Re: Sandi Shilhanek | The Perfect Day...does It Exist? I Say Maybe

For me, a perfect day is one
in which I get to read a
little, write a little, work
on some knitting, and get to
the end of the day without
feeling drained due to the
M.S. Any time I can pretend I
don't have M.S. because I'm
not tired, in pain, or feeling
other symptoms, is a good day
to me.

Humm you describe that day that would be good, I'd have to say. A perfect day, I'd have to think about it. I'd probaby say a day when I get to read, hear my kids laugh, see my DH laugh and smile, talk with my mom, and then get to read more.ROFL.

I loved LOVED ONE RECKLESS SUMMER it was a great read and I can't wait for more. I wish we had more signings closer to me, I noticed my BN had a signing but it was an author of general fiction and I didn't/don't read the author so I didn't go.

I'm glad you had such a great day! I hope you enjoy many many more.
hugs,

Sandi, friends, family, food and meeting authors & reading would all be involved in a perfect day for me too! Maybe add a little travel to someplace new. Basically I like my tried&true comforts like reading but also like new discoveries -- a new-to-me author or restaurant or place. So learning something new & being stimulated along w/ the comfort of relaxing w/ friends, family, good book would be very satisfying! I am happy you had a nearly-perfect day. A financial windfall may be too much to ask...but one can dream LOL

I also had a "near" perfect day yesterday. It was cold and snowy outside so I was in my warm pjs and favorite blanket curled up on the couch reading a great book and watched a cute romantic comedy and followed that with some comfort food, grilled cheese sandwich. Now today I pay, time for laundry and grocery shopping.

My perfect day is when everything falls into place effortlessly along with some sunshine to warm and brighten. Writing for a spell and then to top it off, reading in bed one of many books I've got going.

For me a perfect day is one when I have time to kick back and relax with a book, pets or friends rather than feeling pressured to do something.

What is a perfect day for me? It could be many things like: getting many things I need to do done; seeing or talking to all my grandchildren; sailing down the Rhone River on a river cruise; or having a lot of energy. Any perfect day needs sunshine though to make it perfect!

Just a peaceful day, no drama and
a good book.
(Lisa Richards 4:05pm January 10, 2010)

When the kids go to school, hubby goes to work, and I get to read my book. Ah, peaceful.
(Armenia Fox 4:48pm January 10, 2010)

My perfect day: no hassles, no dramas, a little indulgence & sanity prevails.
(Mary Preston 5:50pm January 10, 2010)

My day yesterday was also near perfect! Mostly I read, watched enough of the play off games to see who won, spent some time on the computer. It was a quiet pleasant day. A "perfect" day would include phone visits with both my daughters and any good friend that happens to call or maybe a trip to the ocean to just enjoy being there.
I'm glad you enjoyed your day.

Having a day to myself without cleaning cooking or driving someone somewhere; only to sit , drink my tea and read a good book.
(Diane Sadler 6:36pm January 10, 2010)

A really nice day is one on which I read a fascinating book without realizing the passage of time and therefore, feeling no guilt at wasting time--not even eating. At least part of this day has been like this. I hope the rest of it will be, too. Ciao!

I have to agree with the other posts. I would include all their requirements:)

If I could have incorporated part of Sat into my Friday, I could have called it perfect. Spent some time shopping (but no bookstore - that was Sat)including a good lunch, enjoyed dinner with my family at mom's (anytime I don't have to cook is perfect - lo), the girls were mostly good, and had some downtime which included reading. if I could have included the Flyers game from Thur or Sat night, it would have been perfect. But split into two days is pretty ok too!

For me every day is a good day. Looks like yours was spectacular.

My idea of the perfect day is a day of me being able to do whatever it is I want,,,,,,,like reading and have absolutely NO interruptions what-so-ever.
(Debbie Beverley 1:22am January 11, 2010)

I would say that the perfect day for me is one where no crisis arose and where I could sit and read a book... I love One Recless Summer and can't wait for the second book in this series..
Great post Sandi
(Kathleen O'Donnell 11:37am January 11, 2010)

LOL! We should all get together. It sounds like our perfect days would almost be exactly the same. . .

I'd include in my perfect day -- besides the reading, etc -- a day when whatever woodworking project I'm making would go together the first time without having to be refitted a dozen times. {:-) And did I say reading? Yes, lots of reading. A good cup of hot chocolate, my favorite chair. . .

Sandi, there's still something wrong with this silly page. It jumps up and down at will, and makes me crazy trying to read, or even type anything.
(Donna Breitkreuz 3:07pm January 11, 2010)

Sandi, that sure was a perfect day.If I could get everything done on a planned day that would be perfect for me. A day without stress where I could split my time perfectly between reading, computer and errands. This will sound funny to you but to me it's awesome-to have my van door open on command for me is a miracle so it doesn't mess up the rest of my day.
(Nancy Alexander 3:13pm January 11, 2010)

I am a homebody...a perfect day for me would have a good book to read, the telephone does not ring, and I have a box of chocolates nearby to munch on while I devour the author's story.
