Refreshed

It's amazing what 24 hours away from school can do!
I'm already refreshed and ready to go.

I am certainly appreciating the small things in life. Dinner is in the oven, the smell of melting cheese is wafting in the air. My dog is faithfully curled up at my feet, snoring in front of the fire. I'm in Barrie (about 100 km north of the city) waiting for my brother's family to arrive. This is what holidays are all about!

I'll admit, I did bring my laptop and books with me. While I'm enjoying the little things, I think it's important to keep up momentum.
