It’s nice to have some holiday downtime and not be all go-go-go. I’ve even gotten in some Animal Crossing play.

Premium Member Downtime With a Jelly Jar
White sand cascades in a wee washed-up jelly jar. Shiny on its side, stepwise tumbling as a child turns it. Boy’s curious mind reveals a tiger’s eye, rhodonite, Snowflake obsidian, red jasper and quartz midst sand. In reverse play, stones look like sleds on a snowy slope.

Downtime
The world continues its rotation with or without your attendance. It has been so since the earth cooled and mountains and seas became. Give it up and check out – to the closet corner, if you please.
