We don't ever go away for Thanksgiving. Just those few days away have left me with an almost "panicked" feeling - like I'm not going to manage to get everything done. It would be easier, I'm certain, if I had some ideas for gifts. Alas, I'm brain dead.
Amidst my numerous stops this morning I picked up a couple wreaths for our front door. I've had my eye on these for a bit - I love that they're a bit different from the typical front door wreaths. I love that they're made from natural materials. (I know there are those who would like to liven them up with some "extras" and/or doodads, I like them just the way they are.) The Husband doesn't love them quite as much as I do, but he's accommodating and is fine to go along. The best part? When I got to the register with them, they were 1/3 off! I'm not sure how long they'll last, they're a bit fragile, but I know I'll enjoy them this year.

Spent yesterday's lunch with my dearest friends. We've been lunching together for perhaps almost 25 years. Our annual Christmas get-together is a favorite. I received this little plaque - just love the sentiment it expresses.
Now, I'm feeling pressure, I still have the ironing from our trip to accomplish. The floors are in serious need of vacuuming. I haven't managed to read anything in days and days - and that would be the fun thing I get to do when the work is finished.
And even amidst my stress and concerns I've managed to find some gratitude. I'm so grateful for good news - especially when it concerns our physical health. I'm grateful for the beauty of this day - for managing to get out first thing this morning and watch the day break through the rain and clouds. I'm grateful for friends.
