Monday after Thanksgiving

What a memorable Thanksgiving.  So many fun things occurred.  One of the last ones - Kelsey and Sydney - two granddaughters - did a photo op with me!  So, here's the long-haired Grandma Jaquie.  (one with a flash and one without)  Now, it's time to get back to the ordinary world - two yoga classes today, tomorrow, and Wednesday.  So, I'll get a chance to visit with my many yoga friends.  It's cold these mornings so I'm thinking of escaping to a warmer place sometime before spring.  But mostly I'm thinking of enjoying a quiet December when everyone else seems to be very busy and I seem to find more quiet time.  Perhaps - just perhaps, I'll get back to my writing.  Yesterday as part of my recovery from Thanksgiving, I spent most of the day reading a novel Faye left when the Pod Sisters were here - The Wife's Tale - a very good read.  It's one of my passions to every now and then just spend a whole day reading a good story with no intention of learning.  And, yet, inevitably I learn - this time clues for finding one's authentic self.  Or, at least, one woman's story.  Perhaps this is what is inspiring me to get back to my own writing.    Two things are actually on my horizon - writing and swimming.  It's always fun to swim in the winter when it's too cold to walk outside.  I've been carrying around in my car my swim bag but haven't yet used it.  Maybe today?  We'll see.
