It started snowing lightly this morning while we were at a yoga class. We came home and settled in for the day. Snow continued, accumulating an inch or two, before turning to freezing rain. But we didn't have to go out in it, and could simply watch the world outside gradually turning white.
Something about a day like today encourages sitting back and relaxing, drinking some hot tea, and reading a book.
That's what I felt like doing. But that isn't what I did, except for the tea.
I spent much of the day on two activities that kept me sitting in front of the computer - online Christmas shopping, and editing video from the last Composers' Society concert to put on YouTube.
The latter is particularly difficult because it requires periods of time, from a few minutes to a half hour, when the computer is working, and then needs attention again. This is disruptive to the flow of the day, and I found myself feeling much less settled than I wanted.
In the end, I accomplished quite a bit today - I just didn't enjoy the experience. Perhaps what I need is a day that I enjoy while not accomplishing anything except to enjoy the day.
