Yesterday I got so much accomplished and did Nothing.
I slept in, giving my body the physical rest it needed.
I snuggled up to Big Daddy on one side and Maddie on the other, pooling my thoughts of gratitude of the past year.
I drank my coffee, saving others from a possible attitude attack.
I showered, washed my hair, let it dry into tiny curls, and put my gown back on, not having any responsibilities today.
I watched my husband take over the kitchen, making pumpkin spiced waffles and ham steak, realizing how fortunate I am.
I played on my phone, interacting with friends close and far away, lucky to be able to keep in touch.
Laid next to Big Daddy on the couch, sharing time together that is normally spent at work.
Taste tested a batch of “whatever is in the pantry” cookies Troy threw together enjoying a Good laugh when the oven shut off creating two pans of what will now be known as “crispy M & M wafers”.
Had cookies for dinner, completing the overdue dream I had as a child of “doing what I want”.
I watched movies with my partner in crime, laughing together, enjoy time and space that is rare in our busy lives.
At the end of the day, I crawled back into bed, in my safe place, arms around me, guard dog at the foot of the bed, a reminder of my beautiful life.
What a day of doing absolutely nothing, and being rewarded with everything I’ll ever need!
It truly is the season of Thanksgiving.
I pray you stop and see all your blessings.
Enjoy them with no effort at all.
And have cookies for dinner.
