This past week was F U L L! Planning, Preparing, Making, Entertaining, Enjoying. It was a blast, and I am grateful for the chance to celebrate holidays at home, instead of traveling. However, when I woke up on Friday and took the dog's for a brisk, quiet walk I realized a new love: the day after a holiday. This day can feel eerily quiet and calm after the excitement of family, friends and feasting. But I like it. Especially when the holiday falls on Thursday, like Thanksgiving, because then we get an extra long weekend to (hopefully) rest.
I'm giving thanks for sunny, not-too-cold, late November days...
for not cooking, and eating lots of leftovers...
for quiet, contemplation, and a pause before the next round of celebrating begins...
for watching a movie...
for early, dark nights...
I've enjoyed this written, posted practice of gratitude. I've been writing little, scrap, "thanks" notes whenever I think of something I'm especially thankful for. Thanks for listening, er, reading. I'm grateful for each of you, friends and readers. Really, I am.
