Monday Night

Hello Friends. It's Monday night. It's not a holiday or any other significant night. 

Just another Monday. 

Well, I suppose it's the last Monday of the 2021 calendar year. It's the Monday that falls within the week between Xmas and New Year's. It's a mostly regular Monday where one might go to work, although it's probably a Monday where everyone should just stay home and hibernate. (But, as we all know, society is not very good at accommodating what people actually need.) 

So overall, it's just another Monday night. Which is fine and possibly even worth celebrating. It was a Monday without pretense, a day that held no expectation. Heck, I did 1.5 out of 2 things on my To Do list and felt extremely accomplished. It's not exactly a time for productivity. 

It's a Monday night in winter. I ate some leftover cranberry sauce turnovers, cut some fabric to start a new quilt, and I've now retired to my beloved recliner with a stack of books to peruse.

Wishing you moments to pause, moments of peace, and moments enjoying the little things.  


(I just liked this picture. I searched for images of a winter night quilt and found this. It matches how I'm feeling. Found at http://quiltingdigest.com/a-beautiful-quilt-for-christmas)

  2. That is a gorgeous picture, so peaceful. Makes me think of Vermont. Happy Peaceful Reflective times to you! Now is a great time for short to-do lists and relaxed turnover-eating. :)

    1. Well... I signed up for some trainings throughout the year that I never did, so that's what I'm making myself do this week. Only in the mornings though! Then they will be done for the new year. But also, now I see why I hadn't done them while I was employed. I didn't have the energy or brain space!

      But that was then. Thankfully it is now. <3

  4. Wow, any day when you've achieved 1.5 out of 2 things on your to-do list is a good day! But the whole day sounds simple, cosy, and perfect.

    1. I'm definitely all right with achieving 75%, especially during the last week of the year! :) Here's to more simple and cozy days.
