That make me happiest.
Waking up slowly on a Sunday morning after
having had dinner with good friends the night before; picking up the bedroom
after a hectic week that had me simply dropping into bed at night without a
thought for the piles of papers, clothes and sundry items that one gets out
over a few days; having breakfast in my pajamas (can’t remember the last time
that happened); sweeping the accumulated leaves off my balcony before the snow
or rain can get to them; changing the colors and photo in my kitchen; thinking
of close friends and family as I finally read through recent e-mails.
December has started – I will put up lights
– get out the wreaths and perhaps even get the tree up and decorated: anything
to improve the dark, gray days and lighten the spirit.
I hope that all of you too will stop to
enjoy those little pleasures; the ones that we tend to ignore or discount. The
best of my day? Finding a crumpet in my freezer and one last piece of Stollen
for breakfast when I had neglected thinking of bread or anything yesterday.
