Lost Time, Gained... {Slice of Life Story Challenge}

I was planning out about an hour of my time this evening and feeling a bit cranky from my day.  I really think losing an hour of time just felt awkward; leading to a cranky feeling inside.  As I made my plans to buy new makeup sponges, fold and sort 1 basket of laundry, water my plants, purge/organize/clean my small makeup collection, and walk my dogs the cranks started to fade away a little bit.  I had an hour where I knew no one needed me but the real fading started to happen when I realized if I worked fast I could walk my dogs at twilight just before 8pm.  

I love to be outside walking or running at this time.  The neighborhood is often settling in, bringing a sense of stillness.  The sky is changing colors right before my eyes.  I take the same one mile loop in the morning and evening.  Tonight I walked a little quicker to catch the sky on the way back in the background over a small pond.  When we stopped here for a break, I noticed a star or two peaking out shimmering within the extra hours of daylight.  Maybe they are celebrating too.
