November Day

With the warmth of Thanksgiving behind us and the glow of Christmas not quite upon us, my feet reluctantly found the floor this morning. Carpool lines, backpacks, lunches, laundry... Getting the day started proves to be the hardest task; there is an energizing rhythm found in routines and patterns, in the mundane. The baby naps, dishes are washed, beds made, meals planned, grocery shopping {in the rain}, schoolwork. The day remains wet and gray... November chill... soon enough all will be bright.
