Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 126

Today's Daily 5:

1. Getting close to finished the last few gifts
2. Christmas oranges
3. knitting (while sipping a cocktail with pomegranate juice, lemon, cranberries, and white wine)
4. old episodes of Monk on DVD
5. a long bubble bath, accompanied by a great novel

2 Days...

Two days left until Christmas.

Two days.

Can I admit that that thought feels overwhelming?

Some of the events of the last few days have left me feeling pensive, lost in thought...

What I really want to do is curl up alone and honor those thoughts.  Honor them, and maybe hide away from things that will highlight them painfully.

What I'm going to do instead is shop and bake and sew and cook.  I'll decorate and pack and clean.

I kind of wish Christmas would just delay itself a few more days... but it won't...

So, here's to figuring out the balance of being pensive and being active...  I hope it works!
