Resting & Recharging

Gratitude Month – Day 1 & 2

It’s that time again - Gratitude Month. I didn’t post yesterday because, honestly, I was grateful for something simple but deeply needed: rest.

The kind of rest where you don’t leave the house.
Home-cooked food rest.
Catching-up-on-that-show rest.
Snuggle-with-the-dog-on-the-couch rest.
Laptop-stays-closed rest.

Sure, we were surrounded by skeletons and goblins from the Halloween party the night before (because nothing says relaxation like lounging with a plastic ghoul staring at you from across the room). But even that made me smile, because I’m thankful for the laughter, the chaos, and another night of family and friends filling our home.

Rest and connection. That’s how this month of gratitude began.
