Whew

Ok. For the first time in 10 days we are alone in our house. Add the previous week of internal turmoil to that and..... how did we get to December 16 already? Now that we're here, do we get a tree? Wreathes for the front doors? Space to take a deep breath? The "Miracle of the Month" prize for still being together after that insane ride?

Now it feels really good that NO ONE will be visiting for the holidays.

No sooner was my brother's butt out the door than I had the smudge pan fired up, clearing our space. Now to clear the space inside me.

Time for a walk on the beach.
