Right now in life, I am:

MAKING  and reflecting on the beauty of 2014.
COOKING spaetzle (Christmas Eve) and roast, mashed potatoes, and veggies (on Christmas Day/Drew’s Birthday). We’ve been eating lots of Chicken Tortilla Soup this month and I made  (which are really just my Tart Crust turned into cookies with the filling iced on top! I added strawberries to some too!).
DRINKING  (mmm, I want some right now!) and grapefruit essential oil in my water (grapefruit oil is supposed to be an antidepressant, detoxing, an energy booster, good for digestion, and aids in easing anxiety, bad moods, irritation, and stress — among other things). I also made Wassail for the first time this Christmas!
READING   and . I got lots of new books for Christmas! I better start reading faster!

FOLLOWING along and singing . Too bad we got there too late to get a program and a real candle!
NOTICING  in the discarded.
KNOWING . “The moment that you feel, just possibly, you are walking down the street naked, exposing too much of your heart and your mind, and what exists on the inside, showing too much of yourself…That is the moment, you might be starting to get it right.” –Neil Gaiman
