January 8

I got an unexpected yet pleasant surprise in yesterday's mail: a pair of Starbucks hot cocoa KCups. I guess they were just a nice little perk for spending as much time as I do in those shops! Anyway, with the work week in the books, I decided to enjoy one of them this evening.

A comfy chair. A fuzzy, warm blanket. An 80s TV show on the tube. And a cuppa hot chocolate sipped from my new Maryland mug. That's my idea of a nearly perfect Friday night. It's always a blessing to be able to leave the busy-ness behind, sit, and reflect on the week that's just passed by.
