Two days after thanksgiving day

I was not urged to repaint the living room and dining room after my company came for Thanksgiving.
Sweetums painted the living room mud green and the dining room a sandy green. The celling and trim
are varying shades of tan yellow. It all works suprisingly. And instead of painting while listening to sports
or talk radio, I was treated to session after painting session of classical music.
I went out shopping on black Friday later in the day and had a relaxing time. I had a tea cake and Earl Grey
tea. The only other things I bought were chew bark for the dog and a squeaky tennis ball. I think the pressure
is off this year to buy buy buy. My DD called and wanted me to look at the free section of Craig's list at an
amoire. It occurred to me that this is a pleasant alternative to shopping.
Life is always full of moments that simply cause me to pause and be thankful.
