Christmas is over, and there may be no one happier about that than me. We are still hoping to deliver gifts to our offspring and families in early January, but the music and the forced cheerfulness and anxiety I've felt will go away. Life moves on, back to "normal."
My husband and I had a lovely Christmas Day together. We slept in then had a relaxed morning with him reading the news and me doing my usual morning spiritual practice. We walked our dog Barney together. I took a long, hot bath. We watched the Chiefs win another game. I took a nap (why should Christmas be any different?!?!). We tried out the new table-top propane heater for our deck happy hours. We had a video chat with son, d-i-l and grandsons. I talked with our other son (who spent the day snowboarding) and my niece in Ohio. My husband and I played several rounds of Rummikub, then I finished off the day watching a couple NBA games and drifting off to a good night's sleep.
I'm grateful for a good, peaceful day, family and friend connections and getting on with life.
