I was thinking about the days I worked in the corporate world and how fun the days before Christmas were. It was fun exchanging gifts with my co-workers and being in the Christmas spirit with them.
But when one works alone, well, you have to make your own fun and find the spirit in your own way.
I admit I was feeling a bit blue this morning, alone in my writing cottage. But then I caught some action outside my window of the little chickadee’s happily enjoying the gift of peanut butter and seed I made for them.
I had bought these two wreaths a few weeks ago that came with feed already on them. But I’ve refilled them twice now making my own feed to keep my feathered friends happy.
And then I realized, these are my new co-workers (along with Gidget and Kylie, that is!) and I instantly didn’t feel alone.
I really do enjoy a lot of time alone, but once and awhile, it can feel lonely working by myself. But then the birds reminded me today that I’m never really ever alone.
And I always have the choice to get out and about…which I plan to do shortly with a trip to the post office and then to our local deli for a bite of lunch.
As for that other co-worker of mine… she is snoring like nobodies business today! Not naming names here, but her name starts with a G.
