This day after Thanksgiving

Even though this is the end of my break, this might end up being my favorite day.  It was just this time, exactly a week ago, that we were all bolting out the door ready to rest and relax on this break.  And it's been lovely.  But today, well today feels just the MOST relaxing.  The weekend was about getting ready for my MIL's arrival, Monday and Tuesday I had to work several hours at my jobs, Wednesday was about getting ready for yesterday's meal and the evening of all the kids, and yesterday was full of the meal and helping out my mom.  Today though?  Well, today I need to decorate, but we aren't doing the trees today at all.  Today I could sleep in, know that no one expects a big meal this evening, and just putz around the around the house, decorating s-l-o-w-l-y.  And I'm thrilled with that.  I still have two full days without any real commitments, and I'm going to soak them up.  And I'm filled with gratitude about all of life's blessings!
