Flurry of activity from
Beginning to end.
After all my guests left and
My house was quiet once more,
I crashed in my chair and
Reminisced.
I basked in the beauty of the
Day, the loaded table, the
Laughter, the hugs, the
Love.
It takes awhile to recover.
I've discovered that the days of
Preparation and the afterglow when
It's all over, occupy more of my
Time and my mind than the
Actual holiday.
