taking stock - January

February 3, 2016

MADE: cream puffs from scratch!  They were so yummy!

COOKED:  barely anything.  Big ideas but being sick and feeling under the weather for half the month was not motivating.  We did make some homemade soups and chicken parmesan this month though.

Drank: from my homemade recycled kombucha bottle with stickers on the outside.  water.

READ: Lift by Kelly Corrigan and I'm halfway through "The Middle Place"

WANTED: so much more rain

RECEIVED: the coolest mug from my friend Alison from Minnesota.    

DECIDED:  the mother daughter project will be so much fun

WISHED:  We would get all the way better, poor Dylan is now sick.

ENJOYED:  Two meet ups with photo friends and was filled with inspiration

WONDERED:  why some people need all the control and since I don’t understand, I let go.

WORKED ON: being more mindful and living in the moments

STARTED:  finding hearts again.  They seem to be everyplace

WATCHED:  Millions and it was a very darling movie

HOPED:  love could conquer all

NEEDED: to start preparing for our DC trip in March, like buying layers of clothes and maybe even new luggage.

SMELLED:  pine candles and essential oils

WORE:   funny pants and jeans that are too tight

NOTICED:  that when I’m still things start to feel better and I can even think more clearly

KNEW:  I couldn’t really stop taking stock because I don’t seem to blog much anymore and so this seems to be a way to keep things going, that and my mother daughter project and I didn’t make a single video for January like I had imagined I might.

THANKFUL FOR: still thankful for my legs clearing up.  They have a ways to go, it was 5-1/2 years in the making, it will take time but it progresses a little more each day. I think I will be thankful each day for a very long time.

ADMIRED: friends who reach out and love even when they lead busy lives themselves.  

SORTED: bills  

BOUGHT:  a red basket and a small glass basket for my mom who collects small glass baskets

FINALLY:     Met Shannon after a few years of knowing and meeting people we mutually know but somehow never meeting each other.

DISLIKED: the feelings that come up inside me, the ones that seem completely out of my control, yet I know they are in my control.

FELT: Sick, Abbie and I both got really sick this month

SNACKED:  bananas, I ate more bananas than normal

LISTENED: 1st Wave.  I love the 80’s

DISCOVERED: my camera was on lock and I for the longest time couldn’t figure out why I had so little control while in Manual mode.  I felt so completely silly over it but wonderfully relieved I finally figured out my problem.

I want to thank you for stopping by. I appreciate you taking an interest in what I share here in this space.  I know you are very busy so it means even more when you take a moment of your time to spend it here.  I'm very grateful. I have been spending more time on You Tube and if you would like to visit there, I would love to see you.
