This time of year the browsing is so satisfying because of the holidays.  The photos of smiling families at tables laden with scrumptious goodies waiting to be devoured reminds me of holidays at my childhood home with my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles and hordes of cousins.  Now, those days are gone and my cousins have their own families as do I and we are on the way to making our own traditions, and just like  in our parents Earlier today, I apologized to a friend that I was having trouble multitasking and I needed to take a few minutes to refresh.  Unfortunately, I felt I did not have the time to spend a few minutes still, quiet and oblivous to the world around me while I collected myself.  And then I saw them!  Two fliers of coupons waiting to be clipped.I convinced myself that I could take the time to sit down for ten minutes, flip through them, and cut the few that I save for future use.  So I sat down in the sunlight of my bay window and began to browse.
