View From the Couch
I spent Christmas week lying on my back- moving from bed to floor to couch, my heating pad in tow. I had plenty of time to think. Here are some conclusions, which I will carry with me into the new year.
1. Years go by much too quickly.
2. Time to lie around and do nothing is invaluable and restorative.
3. Singing is a great transcender of pain.
4. Expectations are a trap.
5. Hanging out with family without expectations is supportive and comforting.
6. Love is all there is.
May your new year be filled with singing and an open heart.
Dearest Peggo,
Hope you are feeling better. You are a soul of enormous wisdom! I am remembering our Christmas in DC together!
How wonderful that was. I hope you had a lovely holiday with all your family present.
Andreana and Stephen came home for the holidays and it has been great. I love your conclusion about hanging out with no expectations. Bliss.
Let’s try to SKYPE in the New Year. Big hugs to all of you. We have to get you to Stockholm!
Love,
Kareen
