Week in Review
I’m sitting on the couch facing our Blue Spruce Christmas tree covered in multi-colored twinkle lights and silver, blue, and white ornaments. Mookie’s curled up next to me under a blanket snoring. Jackson’s cleaning himself next to Tim on the foldout bed strategically stationed in front of the fire.
Despite working all morning, I plan to put this laptop aside to do some old-fashioned things like read a real book and write with a pen and paper all afternoon.
This week swept through like a fast-moving current. I worked with clients, taught classes, finished watching Making a Murderer, saw The Big Short, wrapped and opened presents, packed and shipped products, edited 52 Weeks of Tranquility Journal essays and design, picked up peonies, struggled with headaches and bellyaches, savored reflexology, wrote additional pieces for the 52 Weeks of Tranquility Journal, volunteered at Hospice, practiced yoga, and had in-person and online meetings.
Now it’s time to turn attention to tying a bow around 2015. I give lots of tips in next week’s *final* 52 Weeks of Tranquility essay hitting inboxes on Monday. To receive it, sign up for the weekly Love Notes.
Wishing you a beautiful final week of the year. May it be filled with deep breaths, leftover holiday cookies, and twinkle lights.
