Merry and Bright

 


Post title unashamedly 'borrowed' from the gift tag, which was attached to one of the very lovely and thoughtful gifts I received today. People can be so kind. 

I can't say I'm feeling terribly merry or bright just yet. I'm leaning more towards exhausted and wrung out :) It has been a rather eventful couple of days, after all.  But today was my last working day until the New Year, the car has had it's new tyres fitted, and I have some very exciting things to look forward to. Not least tomorrow, when I will be travelling somewhere I have been looking forward to going to for a long time now :)

It has been a day filled with sparkle and laughter. Wonderment and joy. And I am beginning to think I will feel much more relaxed now that I have finally finished for the holidays. I have most things crossed off my list now, having delivered my very last Christmas Card this evening. I just hope I haven't forgotten anyone. I only have some food to get in, which I will do towards the end of the week, and the gifts still to wrap - of course! :)

There was some more excitement this evening, when Lily was awarded the Student of the Month trophy at her Karate Class. I am so very proud of her. She only started the sessions in March this year and it is something she really enjoys. 

Another early night again for me. I have a busy day again tomorrow.

    My post of 'Happy & Holly' was blatantly thieved off a festive candle - some days I can write the post but struggle for a title.
    Well done Lily - you go girl! 🥋
    The festive feels are slow here too - am trying especially as the boys and their girls have all landed, think it is coz I am tired too x

    Congratulations to Lily, my grandson started Taekwon-Do earlier this year and he loves it. It sounds as if your days are so busy no wonder you are feeling tired, I hope that you will be able to relax more and enjoy the season now that work is finished for the holidays. xx

    Oh well done Lily on the award. Can’t wait to see where you are travelling to. I’m guessing further north. B x
