In a time of year when I should be feeling beyond motivated to set resolutions for the new year, I’m feeling a little lackluster in the dreaming department. During a season when I should be feeling grateful and counting my blessings, I find that once they’re counted, I might feel content for the next ten …
I fully intended to do a Thanksgiving post on the actual holiday (or shortly thereafter)–I had packed up the laptop (okay, I’d asked Matt to pack up the laptop), I’d made sure my camera cord was in the case to transfer pictures, and we had plenty of gaps of time without anything planned that …
