We're into double digits of November already. Hard to believe. I've spent the day lying around, sick. In between coughing and watching television, I've been thinking of the ongoing to-do list in my head, how a day spent sick is a day spent not checking things off that list.
I'm not good at slowing down, taking time out.
The holidays are approaching, and I'm feeling the crunch of getting things done for that. Soon, it will be time to decorate for Yule. Soon, it will be time to shop for gifts. (Really, the time for that has already begun, and I've got ONE gift so far. Just one.) So, bottom line: I'm feeling overwhelmed and pressed for time, and I'm feeling like my throat is being scraped with sandpaper, and I'm feeling my head throb, especially when I get up from my spot on the couch.
And in the midst of all of that...I'm grateful for--
1. this view out the back door this morning,
2. Tylenol,
3. television and remotes,
4. hot tea,
5. a very, very sweet husband who takes really good care of me.
Here's to healthier tomorrows.
