The post-Christmas rest period

I had big plans for this week, full of rearranging furniture, sorting piles of stuff, and making a new plan for my life. Simple stuff, you know. :) Instead I found myself knocked down by the flu for 3 days, and just having to rest. Luckily, the kids have been pretty happy about that, and have been very happy building the new lego sets, playing rediscovered Wii games, watching some Netflix, and making movies of their own.

The after-Christmas energy can sometimes seem melancholy and sad to me, but this year I find it peaceful.
