Day #18 was all about recharging and taking some time for a little self-love and down time. I have a hard time recharging. There is always something that needs to be done. Not just time of year, but constantly. There is always laundry to be folded, a bathroom to clean, or errands to run. And this time of year it gets even busier. The one thing that I love to do, but I don't take enough time to do it is reading. It seems that I only let myself read when everything else on my to-do list has been crossed off. Which, as you can imagine, is hardly ever. I find it stressful to sit with a book when I look around and see so much around me that needs to be done. However, when I take the time to read and relax, it really does recharge my battery and I remember how much I love the quiet relaxation. Today I snapped this picture. It's just a few of the books on my shelf waiting to be read. There are many more where these come from.
Day 19 was "Making a List." I make lists for everything. I often have several lists going at one time. However, none of my lists would have been interesting enough for this project, so I chose this list. It was created last year by Zachary and I think his sweet little handwriting is adorable and it really reminds me of the magic of the season. He didn't make a list this year, so I'll hold on to this one forever.
Day 20 was "Wrapped with Love." I actually spent a few hours last night wrapping presents. (Which, is my least favorite part of the Holiday. I really really really dislike wrapping the gifts.) While I was wrapping, I snapped this photo with my iPhone, and I really loved it. I think I'll try using the iPhone for the few remaining days and see what I come up with. This gift is for my niece Maya, and it was definitely wrapped with love. Can't wait to see her this Christmas!
