The Comedown.

When I was younger, I found the days following Christmas a little sad.

A little empty.

With the family gone, the baking done, the presents opened, I would feel a little lost.
No where to be and nothing to do.

Over the past few years though I've noticed that this has actually become one of my favorite times of year. I relish these days.

I have a stack of inspiration and motivation on my bed stand.
Just the right amount of both fluff and introspection...

I have a house to declutter and re-organize. (My sister says I am basically addicted to decluttering, but I don't care. I love it! Yay!)

I have time to plan and prepare for the coming year: set goals & intentions, day dream and wonder.

I have time to go to movies.

I have time alone.

Like right now for instance.....the house is empty.

The mess can wait.

I think I'll go read a book in a hot bath and then I'm going to make dinner in my pajamas.

I hope wherever you are, you're enjoying the *comedown*!
