I'm thankful ... for a fantastic year long celebration of 25 years of marriage to my best friend. Yesterday we enjoyed our last hurrah in that regard by taking the family to a nice old restaurant:
- and - I'm also thankful for ... the past week and a half where we were free to do almost nothing (key word here) that we normally do :)
I'm creating ... still working on the quilt that was supposed to be a Christmas present for my son - which is now slated to be a birthday present instead.
I'm wondering...Do you know what is black and white and green all over??

Answer:
From the learning rooms... I really want to learn how to make the newspaper gift bags above. It doesn't look too difficult.
I'm reading ...
Well - actually, I'm just waiting for it to arrive in the mail.
The following caption introduced me to it and motivated me to begin 2012 by placing this children's story/fairy tale at the top of my reading list.
When we read this book  , there’s this character that puts on her “habit.”
A little hand here pats my shoulder and asks, “What’s a habit?” The amaryllis on the sill, it’s swelling in hope.
And I tell Shalom this: a habit is something that is worn.
She flickers recognition, nods, turns back to the page. She waits for me to read the next line.
I’m sort of struck: A habit is what we wear. A habit is the way we wear our days.
Wear new habits and your life gets a makeover. Consistently do things at the same time everyday and find yourself a new person.

"The theme is as old as the fairy tales, and it is written with a haunting beauty of wording and atmosphere . . . A book to cherish, to read again and again and again." (The Saturday Review )
I am looking forward to ... getting back into a routine of sorts. The fact that I'm actually feeling kinda ready for this is one indicator of how restful our Christmas staycation has been! :)
Around the house ... is where I plan to spend most of the day - tho' I think we're gonna head out later for a hike.
I am pondering ...
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
