<\/div>\n
Four-o\u2019clock Friday hit and I felt oh-so delightful!!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
I have a two week, much needed break from work!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
And yesterday I checked my lists (checked them twice!) and marked off many of the tasks I\u2019ve been so far behind on.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Like Professor Hinkle\u2014you know, the mad magician in Frosty the Snowman\u2014I am Happy<\/i>. Happy! Happy!!<\/o:p><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Remember <\/span>my cluttered desk<\/span><\/a>?<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Finis!<\/i> And now it sparkles.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On my way to the bank and to finish the one last bit of shopping, I dropped off the recycling that I\u2019ve been failing to take care of for two months.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Mom (in for a three week visit!) and I baked the pies for the annual Christmas Eve gathering we host for Warren\u2019s family.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
And then I wrapped every single gift and topped each with a neat little bow\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I even stopped, midday, to take a few photos of one of our furry friends enjoying our tree.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Merry Christmas, everyone!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
What about you? Have you paused to recognize a fleeting moment of joy during your busy days of recent?<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Soon\u2026<\/span>\ufeff<\/div>\n
