I get the slump, it's the go, go, go and then it's over in what feels like a few hours. I think that's like a lot of events in our lives.<br /><br />For me, it's back to work but only for a week and then I'm off on a five week leave of absence. I'm hoping a change of scenery will give me a chance to refresh and recharge. <br /><br />Have a great week and Happy New Year!<br /><br /><br /><br />Sakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508656442667275102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-31675549403510635642014-12-29T17:13:49.106-08:002014-12-29T17:13:49.106-08:00It's been years since I've had all six gra...It's been years since I've had all six grandkids in one place for a picture.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-1059672386508050172014-12-29T16:56:38.708-08:002014-12-29T16:56:38.708-08:00You remind me of another reason I'm glad that ...You remind me of another reason I'm glad that Christmas has grown to simply a nice quiet time together with my hubby. All the rest is gone from our lives now.

So what I did do in the way of celebration was pleasant and meaningful but my expectations were very low.
