Another Friday. And the first month of January has come to an end – at least, in the blogging books. It has been a rather typical January for me. The beginning of a new year always gives me a burst of fresh energy as well as excitement – enthusiasm even – for the weeks ahead. … Read More Doing, Cooking, and Giving Thanks: January 2022
Honey. There is no denying it…I really (really!) enjoy honey. I also have been working hard to get back to a sugar-free diet since the beginning of the month. Truthfully, I do not miss much. Do not even really miss cookies…or other after-dinner treats like I thought I might. But, honey. I am not going… Read More Of Elephants, Bees and Honey
Share Four Somethings. Without a doubt, this is my favorite link-up. I like the unique prompts. I like the community that participates. And I really like the end of the month reflections – not exactly a monthly “recap” (which I plan to do next Friday so join me again) – but certainly a look back… Read More Share Four Somethings: January 2022
I recently printed off a picture to hang on the chalkboard in my kitchen. It says: Sorry for the things I said in winter. Sigh….but such a true reflection of my bad attitude. I am trying to maintain my resolve to not simply endure winter but, perhaps, even “make friends” with winter. I knew it… Read More The Struggle is Real
Good Monday morning! Outside my window, there is plenty of winter. A couple of inches of fresh snow, more than just a bit of ice (which fell as rain after the snow but then froze), and some very cold temperatures. It was not quite the winter storm they predicted but I am still grateful to… Read More Good Monday Morning 1.17.22
We are not a military family. However, living within the shadow of the Pentagon, we definitely live in a military community. Many – if not the majority – of my neighbors, and/or those I interact with daily are connected with one of the military branches. And ask any group of school-age boys what they want… Read More Determined
On Monday, my friend Leslie hosted her Ten on the Tenth link-up. It is a monthly “list” of ten things or ten questions answered about a topic. The topic for this month was ten hopes, prayers or plans for the year ahead. I already had this post in the works and, although it is a… Read More Many Blessings and a Few Prayers as Well
Happy Monday! Outside my window, it is grey and still a bit damp from a full day of rain yesterday. The rain washed away a fair amount of our snow from last week – and that is something to be thankful for! I enjoy these quick hellos and verses of encouragement each week…and plan (er,… Read More Good Monday Morning 1.10.22
I’m at a certain season of life. Not necessarily a certain age, although I am facing another “milestone” year in the coming months. But, more appropriately, that my life is seasoned. Matured. And while it is true that we are always learning, I hope what I have already experienced along the way is not only… Read More What is Important
And, just like that, the new year is here! Time for the first link-up of the year. Time for the first “Currently” edition. Ok, yes, the first of just about everything in 2022….including our first snowstorm of the year which caught everyone in our area just a little by surprise. Snow was certainly in the… Read More Currently: January 2022
