Feeding My Soul

I am sure that you all are as tired as I am of my endless complaining and public display of my to-do list! So, here is something fresh and nice:
I fed my soul today.
Sure, we had church and that always refreshes, but after church....I did nothing.
We put all of the Christmas away yesterday. Normally, we do this much earlier in the year, but I'm always sad about it. This year, it has been up for just long enough that I did not mourn the passing of the season.
In fact, I rearranged my living room and put the birds by the front window, next to my chair. The Mama Chair. I curled up in my big chair with the cardigan I'm knitting and enjoyed the light on my hands and the deep cranberry of the yarn. I sang to the birds and they listened attentively, heads cocked to the side and eyes shut into tiny slits. I tuned out the football games that my husband and son watched - all afternoon. It rained and my window was open. My wind chimes sang to me. It sounded so lovely.
I ate lunch in my chair.
Then I knitted some more.
Then I stole Chris' laptop and did research and read fun things in my chair.
Then I knitted some more.
Then I ate supper in my chair.
Aaaahhhh.
Maybe I can handle tomorrow after all. We shall see if I still feel that way after the grocery shopping tonight (which I neglected in favor of knitting), but I think I will.
