December 1.
And a Monday.
And I feel better.
Today SCREAMS a reset or regroup or re-something.
I like it when the stars align.
Let's get at this month and finish the year well.
Back to basics.
Enjoy the small things.
Add small things.
Notice, pause.
Slow down to smell the roses Christmas.
Yep. It feels good.
Here was a small moment.
Walked to coffee.
New table heaters.
Yes!! So nice.
Maybe I should make a push to notice small moments in pictures. I try to notice, but often don't bother with my camera. That could be fun this week.
Soooooo .... the hairdresser book. Oh boy. It's really, really, really not my thing. I thought the first tension was ridiculous. Turns out, it was just getting started.
From conversations and my hairdresser's personality, I thought this would be a quiet book. A sweet story of someone finding their path (with god).
Nope.
Airplane crashing killing everyone (protagonist was meant to be on the flight).
She gets out of "evil" book contract and decides to write a book about the people who were killed.
Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) she comes in contact with, finds god ... just from a passing conversation with her.
Her husband forgives her "horrible mistake" and she forgives (after much deliberation), the agent who steered her away from herself and god ... only because he decides to quit his job to work on his relationship with god. And, she only forgives because "forgiveness is for yourself."
And I still have 1/3 of the book to finish.
Lord (I guess I'm evoking god now too lol) help me to find a way to discuss this book with her. I think I'll find a few things to say and then ask her questions ... how did you decide this or that? ... when did you know the ending? ... will you continue with these characters?
She knows I'm not her audience, but still ... ouch. My friend who IS friends with Kathy will read the book too. Maybe we can brainstorm ... two minds better than one. She'll have an even stronger reaction than I do.
I hope you are set for a good December 1 and a Monday. Focusing on the small moments this week. Later gators.
P.S. I'm still doing the senses for the holiday. Smell -- lots of candles. Sight -- lights and decorations. Hearing -- Christmas music. Taste -- favorite holiday flavors.
