The Return Tour.

 Yesterday morning felt "less" like a normal Saturday and more like I was on a personal "Return Tour 2026." 

LOL... No autograph signings.....just receipts, bags, and taking care of all the second guessing that I've had since the first of the year.

First stop: Kirkland's.  I had purchased a picture that I really liked and thought it would hang beautifully in a certain spot in our home.  Well..it clearly was not the shade of sage that would go well with the colors I already use.  Beautiful picture, but it just was not meant to live in our living area.  

Green Moody Floral.

Next Up:  Dillard's...I returned a pair of shoes I was sure that I would love. I think more than anything, I had convinced myself that this pair would be 'Cute and practical' ....then I put them on and they just were not me!! At this stage of my life...I need full comfort.

After all of my returning, we stopped at Outback for a quick lunch.  This is what I call "Emotional Recovery" from making all of the returns of things I thought I had to have.  Good food, the best company (Sam), and a quiet booth is all I needed.  

BTW...Sam waited in the car at each of the stops I made for the returns.  He kinda enjoyed his heated car seat and his Southern Gospel music while waiting on me.  

I thought I was done and we were about to head home when I remembered one more thing.  The recliner!!  Earlier in the month I bought a cream colored, tweed chair. I have kept it covered and never even removed the tags..  Funny isn't it?  This should have been my first clue that this chair was not what I really wanted.  Two weeks later, I finally admitted the truth:  I am a leather recliner girl.  

I made another quick stop at the furniture store.  I made the exchange and now my leather chair will be delivered this next week, and the cream one will be heading back to the store with the delivery guys.  

Decision made.....My peace restored. 

So yes, lots of returns.  But here's what I realized:  returning things doesn't mean failure.  (I honestly do not like making returns). I think in my case..... for an early morning return tour, I used some wisdom. 

Life gives us freedom to change our minds and adjust our choices....I feel like I was letting go of what didn't quiet fit for me and this feels pretty good.   

This was my Saturday morning....and Watching Football filled my afternoon.  

Happy Sunday.....
