1 Contemplation

I am not making any new year resolutions. I haven’t in several years. If I need to make a change in my life, I will do it when I am motivated personally; not by the turning of the calendar page.

That doesn’t stop me from taking some time for contemplation. I have a couple of weeks off work, so the downtime is conducive to evaluation. Through the rest of the year, I’ve rarely had more than a long weekend, so some quiet time is nice. It also allows me to think about more than just commuting, working and preparing for the next work week.

I am only four days in, and already I am feeling a bit at loose ends. The flurry of holiday prep and deadlines are over, as is the latest flurry of blogging commitments I have had. It is a bit of a luxury to be able to do whatever I choose to do without a sense of obligation, in both worlds.

Still Life With Redhead

1 Eve & Apple sm

As Christmas nears, I am getting busier and busier. I know that’s nothing special; everyone is these last few weeks. The season of giving requires a lot of taking, too: taking of time, energy, money and patience as we battle through the traffic and crowds to complete our Christmas preparations.

When it gets to be too much, it is nice to be able to just sit for a while, enjoy the calm of our surroundings and just breathe. No need for movement; just blending in with the scenery.

You can create your own still life* by just checking through the shopping list I have provided below.
