simple things...

it is in these simple moments...when time stops and it becomes so clear...

all of the wonderful things that surround, and for which i am most thankful...

sending you heartfelt smiles, warmth and joy

everything will be fine...

it was much too early to rise on a weekend, however, as FZ slipped out to surf (wayyyy too cold in my humble opinion) i rose in the darkness and near freezing temperatures inside a home, to begin my christmas present making...every year i choose something different to make, last year sugar scrubs, homemade lip balm (will be brewing up another batch this year too), and such...so i was excited to get into the kitchen and begin my process of experimentation...it was lovely to be in the quiet, stillness mixing and blending, christmas tree lights on, essential oils and warm tea in the air...it made me realize how special this time is, and how, when not in the bustle of outside life, it truly is a time to give and be so thankful.

that was yesterday...today i went to yoga where we worked on various 'release' techniques... upon the closing of class, our most amazingly, wonderful instructor simply said 'remember, everything is going to be fine'...these were the most welcomed and happily received words for this gal...

and so, i do believe it is, that everything really will be fine...

may it be so for you, wherever you are at this time of year...
