When Life Slows Down

It's no secret that life has been nuts lately - and I'm not the only one. Strange how December becomes filled with turmoil, trauma, stress, frantic-ness, and the like. In an interview I listened to once with Vince Gill he stated something akin to loving the month of December when everything "slows down". What world is he living in?

Something strange happened this morning. I sat down in my fake leather office chair, stared at the Christmas tree my co-worker put behind my computer monitors to cheer me up, and looked at my calendar for the rest of the month. It. Is. Empty.

EMPTY.

NADA.

NOTHING.

ZILCHO.

What do I do with several days and no agenda??? I grabbed the Administrative Coordinator's hand and we raced from the office to get coffee for everyone. (Benefits of being head of department) Once we returned, I leisurely perused the 600+ emails (595 of them being spam) I'd received for work over the weekend. Then I opened my office window for fresh air because the ductwork in our office building is somehow pouring acidic vinegar fumes into my office. (Someone's Christmas cheer is a little too cheery in the next business over!).

Aside from this quick post on my blog, I'm going to dive back into my inbox on my desk which is about three feet high. I might even get some filing done. (Ha.) But the coolest thing? I HAVE A LUNCH BREAK!! I don't think I've had one for - 5 weeks? Literally. I can WRITE MY LITTLE HEART OUT for 60 glorious minutes. Can you hear my ear splitting scream?

What do you do when life magically slows down - even for a day?
