Three beautiful things from the past week:

1. Rudi took the first leg of driving home from Connecticut so I could watch for Christmas light displays along the Garden State Parkway.

2. Last weekend was filled with visits with Karen and BW.

3. As we were driving home, I said to Rudi (who had to coach the next morning), “Tomorrow, I’m not getting up until I get up.” And I didn’t. I woke up enough to walk Rudi to the door and I woke up again a couple hours later when Jer nudged me to tell me that my weekday alarm hadn’t gone off and couldn’t I please get up because there was a hole in the food in his dish and therefore it was empty and he and the others were obviously starving, but I laid firm and returned to bed and didn’t get up for real until 11:30 when I was awake enough to play Words with Friends and read Twitter for 15 minutes without dozing off again.

How about you? What’s been beautiful in your world this week with the end of last year and the beginning of the new?
