Monday Musings, Notes from Nana

Out in my yard today… 32 degrees and snowing! Springtime in Idaho where anything is possible. I’ve lived here practically my whole life, so I shouldn’t be surprised by this unpredictable weather. Hopefully warm sunshine is on the way soon!

Underneath all of that cold white stuff there is a lot of life just starting to emerge from the ground. Daffodils, tulips, irises, and wildflowers will be ready to bloom in the next couple of weeks. “It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!” ~Mark Twain

I’m grateful for… moments of quiet time filled with inspiration and peace.

One of my favorite things… is this cute coffee mug that my honey fills with coffee just for me.

This week I’m reading… The Happiness Project Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean my Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun by Gretchen Rubin. I discovered the author’s blog about a year ago and I’ve been waiting for the paperback version of this book for several months now. I really enjoy her transparency and insight. I might just do my own happiness project in the future.

I’m looking forward to… not much this week, I must admit. After spring break last week, a little down time is welcome.

Simple life tip for the week… “If you judge people you have no time to love them.” ~Mother Teresa
