The last 2 days were really good.
I'm drained but worth it a 100 times over. Gathering as a family is such a touchpoint of connection and I felt it this weekend. I hope my DIL did too.
That said, hosting doesn't come without work and lots of stimulation -- hence the drained. Active recovery in the woods this afternoon. Few solo miles and then the group hike. It's a celebration of the Chinese New Year.
Because of bots, etc, I won't post people pictures, but here's my lunch. Vegan breakfast platter -- it had so much flavor (I had this before) and couldn't resist it again.
My sister brought me this gift for the garden -- I love it so much!!
Bit by bit my "busy" is getting finished. I'm doing a fair to good job of remembering to enjoy it and not just check it off a list. Still a hefty amount ahead, but keeping my things in the mix is helping it feel life "life" not a "time to get through." Hiking, time with friends, crafting, meditation, etc.
Not long ago, my rest after this weekend would've been slugging on the sofa watching TV and snacking. Planning the hike to recover in a different way -- something that actually restores me is the kind of decision I want to make more. Makes the "boat move faster."
Okay -- I actually have a full morning before company wakes up so I'll end this here. Have a good day. Later gators.
