Six days since my last post. I enjoyed the time away from the computer and most other electronics. I stayed in my home for five straight days, and I loved every moment. I hosted both family Thanksgiving dinners for the first time. My house held 22 people at one point, and I reveled in the closeness of healthy family, the smells of family recipes, the sounds of boisterous laughter and children playing. After everyone left to head back to their respective cities and homes, I semi-straightened my house which remained incredibly clean, ate on left-overs for a few days, and decorated for Christmas. I was overwhelmed with gratitude, and I am rejuvenated and ready for the next days and weeks.

I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving, as well. And, although I do not say it enough to you – thank you for reading Nursetopia and engaging in conversations. Writing is wonderful, but the relationships and growth writing has brought me are even better. I hope you are rejuvenated, as well, and if not, I hope you find breaks and rest very, very soon.

Have a lovely week, Friends!
