What Makes My World Go Round . . .

Love does make my world go round but there are other minor items that help when the love feels a little thin...ha, ha...nothing thin around here these days.

So here is a cross-section of what works for me, now, today:

1.   Outside my window... right now we are between rain showers and the sun is making it's thin showing on a cloudy day.  I hear someone working with a chainsaw below us and I see squirrels scampering about on the rocks leading to my garden.  Sometime later... I just had to come back into my post and tell you about the eagle that just flew past my new office window.  I know, I am a lucky girl.  Most fortunate.

2.   I am thinking... I am ready for spring.  The kind of spring when I can kneel down and tend the earth without getting completely wet.

3.   I am thankful... so thankful for my new pantry.  It is small but concise and to-the-point, just like I like it!

4.   In the kitchen... the ingredients are sitting waiting for me to make some more cookies.
  

5.   I am wearing... a purple LuLuLemon hoodie with a chartreuse vest and the two colours are wonderful.  Should do a room with those two colours.

6.   I am creating... a pillow cover in needlepoint.  Actually I started it a long time ago and have promised myself it will not get set aside again in favour of some new, hotter hand work.  No, I will finish this pillow.  It is going to be beautiful but it has just been here too long.

7.   I am going... to get my hair trimmed on Monday so I feel ready for our month long sojourn in the south in the month of March.

8.   I am wondering... where should I begin on my afternoon to-do list.  I always have such high expectations of what all I can do in a day.  I wake full of the dickens but by 4 or 5 in the day I have started to get the fades.  What's with that?

9.   I am reading... I have started a new book called, Unbroken, that my sister gave me for Christmas.  It promises to be a rewarding read...about a man who survived against all odds.

10. I am looking forward to... March 2 when we fly to New Orleans!!  Tah, dah!!!

11. I am learning... to run this new Abdoer machine we bought to keep me limber and flexible!  Now there is a challenge...Old Rusty here needs a lot of help!  But it does feel good to have done it first thing in the morning.  Check back with me in a few months.

12. A favourite quote for today...

"Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others." -Jacob M. Braude

13. One of my favourite things... unusual outdoor sculptures.

So now that you know all these bits about me I would say that turn-about is fair play... tell me about you.  Use the same list if you would like or make up a new one.  Tell me about your day, your life.

God bless and be well.
