Serenity

Despite a workday that ended with me so aggravated I actually slammed my office door (a thing I might do at home in a temper but never, ever at work), this evening was so calming there could be a picture of it next to the word serenity in the dictionary: dancing fire in our cozy living room, a bottle of ginger beer beside me, fuzzy red socks, Antiques Roadshow on TV, and rows upon rows of soft, warm, embracing forest green & black shawl taking shape in my lap as I knit for over two hours.  I feel restored.
