the day

When there is no where to go.  There is no where to go.  You stay home.  You make buttermilk pancakes for breakfast.   You go for a really long walk.  A really long walk.  Alone.  Unless you count the dog.  When you walk – you just walk.  No monkey mind.  You just take it all in.  The beauty of the snow.

You get back from you walk and everyone is out.  Neighbors you have never even met.  Josh pushing the younger kids down the hill on their sleds.  The girls in and out so many times you lose track.  There becomes a definite need for the drying rack at the front door.

Still full from breakfast.  No need for lunch.  Actually no one seems hungry.  Too busy playing to eat.

Finally you head inside.  Knitting and the couch is calling your name.  So you sit. Sit and watch 2 1/2 episodes of Downton Abbey .  Even Tori sits and watches with you.  You sit for like the longest time you can remember.  And, it feels good.  Except when you go to get up.

School is cancelled again tomorrow.  This no rhythm to my days is quite strange. Maybe just what I needed actually before things change.

Here’s hoping tomorrow will be good as today.  We’ve been known to get cabin fever.
