I am sitting in my recliner under my cozy red and white snowflake electric throw blanket. I have some tea steeping, the Statler Bros are singing and outside the wind is a blowing.
It is Monday. I am in the midst of fighting a bug and coping with my RA. So, a fairly normal Monday. My Snowflake is back at school after being sick herself and then enjoying Thanksgiving.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, it was a good one. We (my parents, daughter and myself) joined others at church for our Thanksgiving feast. After eating the Snowflake played with other kids (it mostly involved the very festive game of hitting each other with pool noodles). After all that fun there was a walk/scootering along one of the pathways in our beautiful country town. I have much to be thankful for.
On my social media page I spend November listing all that I am thankful for. I realize that while my things are nice they are not what I am most thankful for. It is the people in my life, the gifts of God and the intangibles that have the most meaning for me.
Joy comes not in having stuff but people. Joy comes when we truly connect with each other. When we take the time to invest in each other. That can be hard for this introvert. It drains my energy, but provides memories, connections and joy.
