Thanksgiving Day and the weekend that follows is history. The turkey (or chicken, or ham, or roast beef) sandwiches have been eaten.
Now thoughts, and actions, turn to a new project.
What’s the deadline to send packages to???
Shipping rates have increased again????
Where did I put the cards that were extra last year???
Sometimes life just goes from one list of tasks to another. The end-of-year holidays are approaching with the steadiest of a drummer. Normal(?) life continues with family obligations, the necessity of work, and regular household chores.
But wait! Time to add the extras. Gifts to buy, wrap, and in many cases — send. Cards to address and mail. Meals to plan. Out-of-town guests arriving? Time to tidy up the guest room and find the clean sheets. Decorations to unpack, inspect, and set out. Music to play or concert to attend.
Don’t forget to squeeze in a little self-care. In my case, that includes taking a book and stealing off to a quiet corner. A sweet romance fits the mood of the season. For one with a step back to a different sort of hectic — try New Dreams. https://amzn.to/3vWydWE
