Woke with a spark of energy and well-being that had been missing in recent days. One always looks for cause, but it may simply be the ineffable cycles of life, causeless and unpreventable. Drove south to Togar’s and bought two beautiful Turkish rugs, as I was suddenly filled with an (again) inexplicable urge to do. DJ and I arrived at Biltmore Station (dinner and drinks) in time for a tiny Christmas parade and various festivities in that odd little community. Leland has been repairing DJ’s floor, so that it gains in livability what it loses in character. I decree that today shall be filled with achievement. It is still two hours until dawn.
