Ah, the holidays. That time you eagerly anticipate each year with images of fireplaces, gifts, family time and glowing childrens' faces.
And every year to let out a big sigh of relief when it's all over. Not because I don't love all of the above, but because I secretly love the dead of winter.
No sports.
No gift shopping.
No decorating.
No races around the corner.
Not a lot of work or social obligations.
Just me, my kids, my hubby and some homework.
I have often thought in July of how I love THIS time in January, which seems completely nuts. July is supposed to be the best time of all for a Minnesotan. But I am going to soak in the NOW. The calm is just what the doctor ordered.
