Today’s Sunday Stroll is short and sweet.
I didn’t make it out for coffee this week, but I did spend a lot of time with family — including a surprise visit — which turned out to be exactly what I needed. There was plenty of unstructured time: hanging out, playing games, building gingerbread houses, and letting the hours unfold without much of a plan.
I hope your Christmas week has gone well, too. I’ll be back next week, once the joy settles a bit and I can carve out some quiet time to think and write.
Until then, take care — and I’ll see you in the New Year.

Five Sunday Gems
Presence counts more than productivity. Some weeks, showing up fully is enough.
Surprise time with family hits differently. The unplanned moments tend to linger longest.
Joy doesn’t need embellishment. Games, laughter, and gingerbread houses will do just fine.
Rest can be social. Quiet doesn’t always mean alone — it can mean connected.
It’s okay to pause the output. Reflection often needs space before it finds words.
