Things I’m thankful for this week:
The tree was just thrown together in the Airbnb this past weekend to add some cheer!
My own bed: I love a good trip, but I never sleep as good as I do at home. My bedroom has become a sanctuary and hotel or Airbnb beds just can’t compare.
Routine: Boozy treats, sweets, salty snacks, and inconsistent sleeps leave me feeling exhausted and heavy so coming home to my aforementioned bed and normal routine including meal prep and dog walks is just the best.
Twinkle lights: Even on vacation, I had to bring a holiday tree and twinkle lights to set the mood of the season. Being home with my sparkly tree makes life feel even better, though. When I walked through the darkness at Mammoth Cave, I was greeted by a large tree with sparkly white lights that was there for an event. It was a nice surprise.
Audio books: I’ve written about this before, but an audio book can make a long drive even better. I just finished a book called “The Husband’s Secret” by Liane Moriarty which was read by this animated Australian woman. It is a convergence of many stories with a common connection that isn’t realized by the characters for quite a while. I could not stop listening due to the suspense and finished it within a day or two.
Afternoon tea: Earl Grey in the afternoon is one of the best decisions I can make at work. The smell, flavor, and warmth is just lovely.
Funny signs: I love a good sign, and we saw a few in Nashville that were funny (see below)
