I feel nice when I breathe cold air
This week I tried to stay off the computer when I got home for work. For the most part, I think it worked. I actually wrapped most of the Christmas presents and placed them under our big beautiful tree. Oh, want to look?
Yes, beautiful! I love our tree very much. It warms up the entire house with a good, fuzzy feeling and totally makes up for coming home after dark. In the picture you can kind of see our new, colorful tree topper. So far this week we cooked every night, and then I walk and jump around and put in some time on the elliptical trainer a little bit. Tonight I had the excuse of checking on the shipping progress of the last of the gifts, so I succumbed.
Kali is coming home next week! I pledge to see her more often now that she will be so close. I think we should do something weekly, go hiking or bake or do something ritualistic. What do you say Kali? The best part of life and friendship are the traditions you rely on. Of course, come January she leaves us again, but only briefly. Oh! It occurred to me that she will be apart of the circle of journal writing. Hurrah! I hope we don't lose the ritual of the journal writing.
The other day it rained heavily all afternoon. I forget every year how much I love walking through rain drenched streets after dark. It's like a drug, it's so pleasing.
So, I enjoy life these days. I feel very loved by T and enjoy creating our traditions and weekly rituals. I feel close to my family, but they are at a pleasant distance. I can actually breathe and make my own decisions!
On Friday Julie (and maybe some other people) will come over for a game night. I will cook Spaghetti. Hmm, I think I need more garlic bread...
