This year hits different for me.
I've always been a person who gets super anxious at the end of a year and beginning of a new one, mainly because I get this sense of impending doom, not knowing what is coming, what is going to happen, will we all still be here at the end? It's unnerving and I absolutely despise that feeling.
Also, the feeling of needing to change things, needing to be better, do better.
This time it is different. I mentioned in a previous post that I wasn't feeling that anxious and had decided to just embrace the new year and go with it. But, I also don't feel that need to change this or that, rather I feel the need to continue. Continue being healthy, continue doing what I've been doing, continue leaning into God and His word.
I think maybe my word for this year may just be CONTINUE!
My mornings have been slow, of course we are still in this holiday limbo, and I don't know about you all but I'm so ready to get out of this season and into the normal routines and schedules.
Everything feels a bit discombobulated at the moment, there is no routine, there is not set time for anything, there's far too much eating of stuff we shouldn't, you know the drill, I think we're all in that little bubble at the moment.
As much as I have enjoyed having Curt home for the past two weeks, the time with family, the food, and the laughter, the slow mornings and naps in the afternoons, I am yearning for a stricter routine. I need it.
How beautiful is my boy Elliott? I often sit in wonder that God would bring us this gorgeous boy, who was a wild kitty, abandoned by his mother. I don't think I've ever seen such a gorgeous wild cat. And what a blessing that he is ours ♥
I don't have much to share with you today, but that's ok, remember I said I would love to try and post every day, even if just sharing a photo or something I'm doing? Well here's me doing just that.
So you get a photo of my yummy morning oatmeal, which has been my go to for a while. When I enjoy a certain breakfast I tend to stick with it and can eat it, for many many days, without getting sick of it. That's a good thing I think.
Just going to finish this post off with some of my plants. When I think back of years gone by where I killed every plant I ever owned, I am shocked that I am able to have so many now, and such beautiful ones too.
Many of these have been gifted to me from Curt's cousin Cindy. Her husband Ed loves plants, grows so many and is always sweet enough to share cuttings with family. Knowing I adore plants too, I always get some new ones.
You may notice the one on the far left of the picture has a bag underneath, well that's because I need to move it to a bigger pot and get it settled. Actually looking at the picture now, the only one that doesn't need a new bigger pot is the big one on the right. The others all need new homes, and that's on my agenda for either this weekend or Monday.
I also worked on my Nordic Winter Afghan a bit more. I really want to get that blanket off the hook and onto my lap, this winter. It's an easy blanket to make and works up pretty quickly, but I just haven't had the time. Hoping to change that in the next few days/weeks.
I hope you've all had a blessed Friday. Tomorrow and Sunday are gym days for us, although, with hubby home this week, we've gotten in a lot more gym time. Last week we went twice during the week and then the weekend too, and this week we've already gone 3 times, and then 2 more this weekend, so overall, we are doing well.
Will see you all back tomorrow, right here, with a cup of hot coffee and no doubt some more babbling posts.
