Out in my yard today… it is a sunny, but cold 22 degrees.  Brrrrr!  Thankfully the wind is not blowing.

I’m grateful for… the start of a new year, peppermint white mochas, and my fireplace.

One of my favorite things… sitting outside in our hot tub on a cold, clear night and looking up at the stars.  As I look at those bright twinkles in the sky I am reminded that I am a part of something so much bigger than me.

This week I’m reading…  Who Switched Off My Brain?  controlling toxic thoughts and emotions by Dr. Caroline Leaf.  I am continually amazed at the way God created the mind, body, and spirit to interact.

I’m looking forward to… getting back into a somewhat normal routine now that school has started again.

Simple life tip for the week… be realistic about what you can accomplish in one day.
