Slowing down a little

Today we have taken most of the day off.  We were up late last night unpacking and working on the house and I slept until almost ten am this morning which I almost never do.  My guy was up earlier, woke me up and then had to go.  I spent the day unpacking a few more boxes.  But the best part of the day was walking into my new kitchen and preparing dinner for tonight. I was all alone, able to move slowly and enjoy each part of preparing the meal, in my new kitchen, on my new counters, with my new appliances.  Afterward cleaning up, I was acutely aware of all the future meals I will prepare in that kitchen and how much I am going to enjoy doing so!  Tonight slowing down again, my guy and a friend are fixing the powder room sink, an almost endless carousel of changes, frustrations and setbacks but still they preserve.  I am always amazed at how well they work together and they absolute determination to finish!
