on a plane heading to Munich…after 2 weeks in the US . Always feels funny when im away from the office that lo g.

 

i had a really peaful and reflective time off this past week. Both max and gabe were around for the entire week which was really great.  The Sam days were bith sad and fun which is as good a combination as i can ask for. Thanksgiving is never my favorite holiday..but we had lots.of friends and love around us..

i even caught up on sleep over the break.. I had almost forgot how it feels to be well rested and to be able to,run every day

now heading back to a,very busy week.. lots ti do..looking forward to most of it !

 It’s Friday evening after a long week of remembrance and Thanksgiving all the big gatherings, events  and meals are behind us.

 

I had one of the slowest days I can recall… Which was wonderful. I feel like I finally caught up on sleep with several eight hour nights under my pillow.

I’m trying to remember what I did today so I can give an account here… And I’m struggling to think of anything I did. I did have breakfast with my friend Jon…I took apart the trampoline for the season… (You may wonder why a couple with grown kids still needs trampoline… But I take many meetings with all of you while bouncing on that thing)

Oh yeah… We did accomplish one big thing today. We rearranged our living space

we switched  from ‘party mode’ and back to ‘winter mode… ‘  in winter we tend to be more huddled around the woodstove… Like the dogs are here 🙂

 

Rearranging ones living spaces a good metaphor for rearranging one’s life during vacation… Don’t you think?
