I am wide awake at 4am fighting insomnia, as usual. Tonight is different though. I am not fretting over bills, Dr appts, moving, school, or any of the normal things that keep me up at night. Tonight I am watching Sue sleep, and I feel blessed. We are in TN with my family, celebrating another Christmas together.
We spent the past two days baking cookies, making truffles, cleaning the house for all of the Brown clan to come over for Christmas dinner. We did it together and have enjoyed sharing a domestic kind of bliss... together.
I think I lose sight of that sometimes. I get so wrapped up in the "normal stresses" that I forget to enjoy today. I am enjoying tonight greatly. Sue has the cutest little snore and I am being insanely mean by tickling her nose and giggling as she rubs it.
I know tomorrow, well later today, will be a flurry of relatives and cooking. So, I am enjoying the calm and quiet that only 4am can bring.
Merry Christmas everyone. I wish you all the peace that I feel right now!
p.s. just looked up my grades for the semester and am exceedingly happy!!!!
