Slow down

I'm feeling pretty hectic and rushed, which is kind of a blessing, people to see and things to do, but my body and I are just aching to slow down, read, sit by a fire, enjoy a glass of wine, rock my baby, gaze at twinkling lights, and take it very slow. Maybe pat some dogs. Watch birds from a window. Play guitar. The shopping is done, the wrapping is done. Just four more hours of work and a rushed packing session, and I will be ready for a winter break.
