I
could
just
be.
Be still.
Be quiet.
Be unwound.
Or as much as is possible in this household.
I found peace in diving back into the daily living.
Making hot chocolate for cold, snowy boys.
Attacking the mounds of towels that breed in our bathrooms and laundry room.
Playing a few stimulating rounds of "Feed the Kitty" with Youngest Daughter.
And even starting a new dishcloth to replace the tattered shreds that are the remainders of several old cloths.
Yes, altogether a very satisfying day.
No expectations, goals, or lists.
Just . . . quiet.
Ahhh days like this are just perfect. I am lookign forward to some of them myself.
ReplyDeleteHey, Shelley, I think days like this are coming 'round here also.
ReplyDeleteToday may have been the first in a while,
will be going to our monthly Knit Nite in a few minutes. :^)
Holiday Hugs,

I agree completely! (In fact, all of our Christmas decorations are down and packed away neatly in the storage bins.) How's that for returning "to normal?" :)
