Each Wednesday, Danielle, @ Elleinad Spir, Emily, @ Notorious MLE, and myself are working our way through the lists of Listography 2011.
"List your wishlist."
Shopping is finally done. Santa has done "his" very best to accommodate without caving in to every request- because some of their wants don't exactly match up with our wants- or at the very least- with the limited amount of available SPACE. It's a mind-wracking process, this gift-giving. Not to mention, answering the "what should I get your kids... and/or you?" questions... trying to make sure that the santa list remains separate from our list... from their list... Whew... I'm beat. At this point in the game, there is no wishlist. Well, there's always a wishlist. But nothing that compares to what I really, truly want- need.
I simply want to create space to enjoy it all. ...to dig in to the cookbooks... to play the heck out of the boardgames... to fill the frames... tackle the crafts... to get out of "busy-mode" for days-weeks-months on end, and appreciate what we have, to relish it... before adding more to the plate, or the place I should say.

Great list. It seems that time is always on my wishlist. More of it. Freezing it. Rewinding it. But since that can't happen the best I can do is make the most of it. eh?
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays to you and yours...
Best,
Tina
I love this and I totally agree. At this point, all I wish for is some down time to enjoy it all!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to dig into cookbooks too and I love how we all interpreted the list differently this week.
ReplyDeleteYes, isn't it all so very exhausting. I'm really hoping to get a couple good naps in over the holidays. Seriously, that's pretty big on my list. And make sugar cookies with Emerson. That's about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, friend! This year we really dialed it down, but still...not enough time/space to take it all in. I really want a deep breath, a book, and an hour of quietly playing kids. :)
