Maturity--for a time


I don't know if it was the 10 day break from my job or me finding my own rhythm but this Thanksgiving was more satisfying than many in memory. We did a lot of cooking...quality cooking without making huge quantities of food. It was nice to know I was working hard to make a really delicious meal...working hard for something I WANT is always a wonderful revelation.

And I coasted on that high the entire extended vacation and it had a palatable effect. Things that typically would have vexed me, didn't seem as difficult or as impactful. In fact it was only today that I found myself returning to my old pinched self, well aware that my rat-race begins again tomorrow. Once again I try to imagine myself doing something as remunerative but considerably more enriching....
