Spending Time...

 

...in my journal.

I enjoyed a quick, overnight getaway

for my birthday this past weekend.

Hope you had a good weekend, too!

Happy Monday, friends.

I Want...

...to get out of my own head

and my own thoughts

and not limit myself.

Peace to you,

Safe, in my journal...

We had a warm spell around Christmas,

so Lake Erie isn't frozen...

We know what THAT means...

Yep,

the icy cold winds of 6 degrees F

blew over the warmer lake, and

Lake Effect Blizzard!

We got so much snow in four hours

that everything is shut down

again.

A three-day weekend for me.

Not complaining, since 

we're all safe this time.

Yeah, last month I was in a car accident.

An inexperienced young driver

in front of me

spun out on ice.

I am grateful it wasn't worse than it was.

I am grateful for SO much.

Finding Comfort

...anyway I can now.

Thank goodness for my journals,

my piles of awesome books,

and candles,

...and a fireplace.

It is 6 degrees F today

but at least my classroom was warm!

I am living up to my Word for 2015

so far.

I did something Huge

that I was finally really READY

to do.

A Big step.

I was scared but I did it anyway.

♥

Wasn't the full moon beautiful?

Bella Luna!

Winter...in my journal

Eating soup and eating better

Staying warm

with hot ginger-lemon tea

and a quilt.

The winds are howling and the

temps are dropping

but I am inside

with my journal

books

magazines

and a candle for atmosphere.

Have I mentioned how much

I dislike

winter?

New Thoughts...

...lead to new surprises.

Afterall,

why should I expect new things 

to Be

 when thinking the same thoughts

everyday?

New Year! New Journal!

New beginnings

I am Ready!

{This collage was done by me, but

this GORGEOUS journal was handmade

by Kelly Kilmer. Love.

I have so much to feel grateful for,

and I feel it so deeply.

2014 had sadnesses in it that

I'm certain everyone feels

when big things happen

that pull the rug out from under us,

but,

I did A LOT of learning in 2014.

I want, need, to be better for it,

stronger,

more patient,

more loving,

more grateful.

I Am

Ready.

Yes, Ready is my Word for 2015.

It found me...

quite unexpectedly.

Already one thing to be grateful for in this new year!

So, what about you?

Are you ready?

For what?

Feel free to share...

Happy New Year!

love,
