Mist and Tabs had a wonderful time and I thank Auntie T for \u00a0being Uber-Auntie and providing them with an amazing holiday and Uncle John for driving the crew through the Blueberry Pass to visit Auntie.<br \/>These crafts above were made by Tabs with supplies from Gran: penguins, mice and cardinals.<br \/>\u00a0Today, while I was a Chapters,\u00a0Pip redecorated the living room adding lovely and inspiring twists to displaying mundane objects: coasters placed in unusual places at odd angels on coffee and side tables; dog toys hanging precariously from furniture; sofa pillows displayed on top of sofa backs; dog bed placed standing on its side against piano; drapes pulled out into the room and draped on furniture. She toured me around the room proudly, pointing out all the fine details.<br \/>Tonight will be an adventure. Peter and the gals off to a party while boring mom continues to recuperate. I am prepared for my dull day with a movie and new Vogue magazine. I almost purchased the Dalai Lama&#8217;s sequel to his &#8220;Guide to Happiness&#8221; but I couldn&#8217;t bring myself to purchase any book. My mind is all over the place. It actually made me realize that I have been too restless to read books for months.<br \/>So, while I am boring in my convalescence, I have decided to get back to basics and figure out what has gone astray with my spiritual quest. I haven&#8217;t meditated in ages, can&#8217;t read for enjoyment etc.<br \/>Life and love are oddities. Just when you think you&#8217;ve got a mandala for navigating them, you realize you are so off course your mandala isn&#8217;t even touching you!<br \/>I also believe that motherhood and &#8220;marriage&#8221; combined are exhausting pursuits in the modern world and that trying to keep the family going takes up all a woman&#8217;s energy and she is left confused and exhausted!<br \/>That&#8217;s what New Year&#8217;s is for&#8230; refiguring, new mandalas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So happy all my babies are home with their momma again.
