Happy Relaxing

Monday, December 16, 2024

This is the last whole week before Christmas. The department store that employs me part-time will be busy and has scheduled me to work every day this week. The store is borrowing my allowable working hours for next week to cover my above-average hours this week. I am not scheduled to work most of next week, and I hope that holds.

Ah, an unexpected 5-day break! It’s an excellent opportunity to recharge. I can indulge in well-deserved “me time.”

Besides playing more with my critters, I will continue to transition into veganism. I will practice cooking in that style and start making bread from scratch.

I will choose activities that bring me joy, relaxation, and a sense of fulfillment. I will take my camera out and capture the surrounding wintery beauty. I may attend a concert, participate in a group singalong, or join a book club’s discussion.

There are many opportunities: I can read a book or two, sleep in longer, savor a delicious meal, reconnect with friends, and do more serious journaling and blog planning.

Dear Friends: Seeking enlightenment in some of the year’s darkest days. Diana
