Forgive me for posting so infrequently those days. I’m beginning to wonder if my blogging days are drawing to a close, with Facebook and Twitter as places to post links and brief updates, and all my myriad projects eating my time. I started blogging in college, and really picked it up when I moved to New York, but that was when I had lots of dead time to fill at work and not too many actual writing projects, or magazines to fill. I don’t really need another empty text box making me feel guilty.
But, it’s getting cold in lovely New York City, and winter is fast approaching. Somehow, I find Christmas music soothing this early, now that it’s cold, and am looking forward to hanging fairy lights around the apartment after we get back from Thanksgiving next week. Maybe we’ll even actually have a tiny tree this year.
Last night we had a dozen people at home group, and I had a grand time mulling cider (on sale at Whole Foods!) and staying up late splitting a bottle of red wine among the six of us who stayed after it was over. It’s a real blessing to have this particular group of people in our home every week, forcing me to not only actually have a clean apartment once a week, but also to move outside myself and my alarming to-do list and serve other people. It’s too easy to turn in on myself, and I am so grateful for the changes in my life the last few months that force me into happy interaction each week - at home, and at work.
Now, to work. Happy Friday!
