The main December Holidays are over... New Year's Eve is on the horizon... It's kind of an in between time... The thought comes up... What do we crave, in this in between time?
I'm feeling the need for very non-earth-shaking blogging topics here, for now. I seem to want quiet and warmth and softness and coziness.
Is it because we have been buffeted of late, with so many horrors, disappointments, fears, etc.? Has all this "being-and-staying-upset", made me long for quiet? For non-earth-shaking topics? For peacefulness? For hunkering down, at home?

This in-between time is still super busy for us. The kids are home from school, there are a million things to be done, there's one more kiddo to hook up with (the married one who lives in another state), etc. I like it though...
We'll calm down and go back to a normal, more quiet routine, after the new year.
I still have all of my decorations up and I am still in "the spirit" so I just see this as an extension of the holiday time. I'm not leaving here till I'm done!!! :) Besides, I still have leftovers to eat.
Still quite busy here...the quiet time will come next week before Epiphany. I always crave quiet and home so that is nothing unusual for me. Perhaps we are pondering similar thoughts today, you and I. Lovely,homey images from Larsson today. What a lover of home and family he was!
I haven't reached that time yet. Still planning for our client's holiday party and a quiet night at home with hubby.

nows the time to reflect on the past year...plan for the future year...take time to breath and enjoy life...
It's not busy here...it is actually in-between time for me.
That's an interesting question to ponder. What do I think about or crave during this time...hmmm.
I love the quietness of it all. But, I am anxious about the economy and the up-coming four years. I'm still nervous about what our country's path will take, so I'm thankful for the quiet right now. I have blogging friends in other parts of the country who have lost their jobs (since Christmas) and that is weighing on my heart right now. Even though it's a 'quiet time' for me, I'm hoping that it's not the quiet before the storm. Just thinking....
that's all. Just thinking....
I've been thinking of the past, dreaming of the future and enjoying time with loved ones...and that's all I'm craving just now.
I've never really liked the in-between time. Mostly because I love Christmas so much that when it's over I miss it :)
beautiful illustrations! i feel the need to clean. almost time to take decorations down and spiff things up!
It's quiet here today. I'm catching up on blogs and then I'll be crocheting on some sorting bowls. I like this quiet time between. It gives me a chance to rewind and get ready for the new year. January will be busy as our son is having heart surging on the 10th and my daughter is expecting her first baby on the 28th. Lots of new in the New Year.

I'm craving yarn. And a hook. And to have all the laundry done so I can enjoy them!
Your description is very apt, Auntie, and those illustrations are lovely. I'm looking forward to a quiet January of snow outside and warmth inside, with no pressure of gifts to be made and no packages to be mailed.
Happy New Year to you and Uncle A! :)
We're still enjoying the twelve days of Christmas here. But if I'm craving anything it's more time to do nothing ... I think we had too much activity planned!
Happy New Year to you and Uncle A :D
Just to be warm and safe.
Hi Auntie! I've been trying to catch up a bit on reading I've missed. Loved see your beautiful family having fun together. Love your new blog look, too.
What I'm craving right now is peace and quiet. It's been a busy time, a lovely time, but now I'm tired and need to rest up! I'm really just a quiet, home-loving gal and all the hustle and bustle is fun for a while, but I'm ready for some down time. I have blogs to catch up on and some new books to read and birds to watch and snap, kitties to hug. Oh, these simple things are the things I crave!
All the best to you and Uncle A in the New Year!!
I really haven't thought about it. I'm just taking each day as it comes - just looking forward to each new day. : )
I am so with you on this, Auntie!!! I want the same and lots of it! I want happiness, love, caring and days without the horror that this beautiful world of ours has been enduring for so long~~~
Gentle and Loving Hugs,
Jan
