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*!
I feel pretty much the same - slightly sad but also a little joyous lounging around in my long johns, having baths, reading, playing with Ryker, de-cluttering..
