Stretching While the Days are Short
Tired.
Many holiday parties and visiting with friends that we haven't seen for awhile.
Kinda interesting that we cram everything in right now, because of holidays. Then in January, we won't feel so motivated to visit with the whole world all at once. Kind of an ebb and flow, I guess.
I will be visiting my darling daughter in California this month, we are painting 2/3 of our house right now, and I am working on media for a great MLK event that will take place in January.
It's a good tired - and very full. Full of warmth, because I am soooo lucky to have amazing people in my life. And they want to spend time with ME! And I love spending time with THEM, even though I am an introvert and will have to compensate all of January by going in to my cave.

Shoppers drove by in waves as we stood in 40 degree weather (very warm after last week). My heart is touched by the commitment of these women. In Speaking Circles, I have found that I actually get to know someone more when we allow silence than when we feel a need to share our stories. Stories are just stories, but being is precious and we find that place beyond the stories where we are the same.
Last night I did my once a year dancing. We were at Michael's company party. Michael doesn't like to dance, but he did do a couple of slow ones with me. I got some other men to boogie with me. It feels so good to move my body to the music. Before Michael came along, I danced most weekends. I was a dancin' fool. Now I'm just a ...... ;-)
