Today is my last day of vacation. It's funny because all of a sudden, usually as soon as I begin packing, I just want to be at home. I held off packing until the evening so I could just enjoy the day and be present here for as long as possible. It's almost like the opposite of anticipation.
I didn't have any super thrilling reflections on advent today but I think that I did a pretty good job of being present. That is something that I will probably struggle with daily during this season and I'm sure it will be more difficult when I'm back to the busy-ness of life next week. But for today I enjoyed the beach, the rain, the delicious dinner with my family and my last moments of reading outside on the balcony. It is a practice that I want to make a natural part of my daily life.
