Slowing Down

Today is Christmas Eve and George, the dogs and I are slowing down. We hiked this morning, ending with a meditation sitting on huge rocks with the sun kissing our faces. Our yoga practices had a special theme of gratitude for our family. We will spend the day watching movies from Spiritual Cinema (spirituacinema.com). I think we will make a soup all day on the iron cooking stove. What a wonderful day to just "be". No presents (as we already opened them early- ha! ha!). No big meals that make you feel like you can't even walk. No decorations for us, just the pine trees in the yard. Simple and quiet, just the way we like it.
