Tis the Season

Who Doesn't Love The Grinch ?

 Well Thanksgiving is over.  Did you do any Black Friday shopping?  Shop Local?  Cyber Monday?  

How was your holiday?  Any traveling this year?  

For the first time in many, many moons I went out of town with my fella.  We drove up into Kentucky to be with my dad's side of the family.  And it was lovely.  Turkey, dressing, potatoes set in a lovely home complete with a fireplace and a quiet fat kitty with big eyes.  Couldn't get any more Norman Rockwell than that.  haha...I guess if there was snow added to the mix then it would be a complete picture perfect weekend, but alas...we had sun.  Which was totally fine for me.  

I'm basically done with my shopping.  Yep, sure am.  Just need a couple of small things but I'm not going overboard with any gifts this year, or any year to be honest.  I'd rather have in-person time with my loved ones. Now the fun part is finding boxes to ship stuff to the designated addresses.  And I always struggle with getting the right sized box without getting something too big or too small which I am super good at doing-I have issues folks.  Measuring and depth perception is a bit off in my world.  I swear I spend more money on mailing the said boxes than I spend on the gifts itself.  Or so it seems.  

But, it's worth it to me.  And this year is especially special for me and I plan on embracing that for all it's worth, because it's worth a whole helluva lot to me.  Sometimes prayers do get answered.  

In the meantime, I hope your Holidays are joyous and loving.  Turn off the TV and play some music, stay in your pjs, kiss and hug all your peeps and just relax.  No need to rush around all the time now is it?  Until next time...elizinashe

Merry Christmas !

Where Does the Time Go?

Where Does the Time Go ? 

 Well, well, well...

Time sure does fly!  Despite the extra hour we had last weekend.  Sheesh!

 

I'm still here.  Taking it day by day.  So much to do...and yet I feel like there is never enough time to do everything I need to accomplish.   But isn't  that true for all of us?  I sure do wish I better time management skills.  

 

Fall is leaving our area but the leaves sure have been beautiful.  Lots of red and gold this year.  And it's been relieving to see on my daily commute to work and my day of errands.  I try and soak it all up as much as I can.  Soon we will have cold gray days and the first snow will surely come. 

 

I hope you are well.  I hope your Thanksgiving will be festive.  May your Christmas be kind.  And the New Year be joyful.  We have so much to be thankful for in these crazy times.  I hope you can focus on the good things and stay away from the negative.  Keep it simple folks.  Sending you all some love.  Until next time...elizinashe.   

Don't Forget to Relax
