Advent ... the time for breathing

[scottishlass]

Even though I try to move slowly and somewhat gracefully through this hectic part of the year, it is a good thing that our afternoons and evenings are returning to cozy nights at home instead of either entertaining or being entertained by new-found friends. While I love that we have now started to weave all the intricate knots of friendship, at this time of the year it is essential to stay home and just breathe. And pause ... and wonder ... and soaking up all the holiday goodness.

All the moments that make me happy
- hunting for little holiday gifts on Christmas Markets.
- it's Christmas time.
- walks in the woods with the dogs.
