Today I feel...

wonderful. It was a refreshingly relaxing day. Complete with a phone call to Mama. I love you, Mom! An outing and some Christmas lights. Warm soup and a warm home. A bump into friends. A quiet toddler. A teething baby. I am at peace with my day.

And wonder-full. Where did November go? I used to think the busy-ness of November and December was a bit of a lark. They can only be as busy as you make them, right?? And yet, somehow, despite doing no big Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends, no Christmas decorating or shopping or other Holiday prepping, November completely slipped away. I had blog posts planned, but not written. Words thought out again and again, but never typed. A plan, a dream, a mission. I've missed you, my friends.

And soon, my girls and I take off-to fly to a place often thought of, to pack our days with precious loved ones, to spend a month away from home. And I will miss you still.

May you all feel loved, may you all have hope, and may you all be at peace today.
