Day 16 ~ Quiet Evenings
Tonight we decorated the tree, Auntie and I worked on a few gifts, we ordered pizza and then I cleaned the heck out of the living room while the kids retreated to their own spaces to prepare for tomorrow's mid terms. After crazy day of holiday traffic, shuttling kids, errands and work, I didn't make much time to focus on gratitude today. I looked up from doing the dishes, and saw the scene above. There's something about the warm glow of a Christmas tree...and of course, the lounging dogs. It was nice to take a little pause and realize right then and there that I was thankful for just that very moment. The glow, my companions in quiet and that I'd gotten every little dustbunny from the corners. It's the little things.
