Taking some time to reflect upon my week…
:: lighting (and enjoying) these candles
:: cold, wind, blusteriness
:: trying my hand at making beeswax candles…the 2-pound chunk of beeswax required patience and lots more time than I anticipated…a peppermint mocha helped
:: good life conversations with my kids
:: breakfast for dinner…twice this week…yes, please and thank you
:: lots of making
:: stumbling upon words and quotes and synchronicities
:: cookies
:: sitting by the Christmas tree with my sweet girl
And you…what were some of your moments this week?
sending a little love your way, m

Merry Christmas! xx
oh what a lovely week!
merry christmas to you too, Grace! xo
my son is home (!!!!!)
ignoring the messy family room
lots of dishes
sitting and knitting
love seeing my list shrink of all the to do’s!
hooray for your son being home…and the messy family room too!
enjoy the holidays!!!
hmmm…
*lots and lots {and lots} of snow falling (makes me giddy!)
*making rum balls, sugar cookies (and feeling relaxed about getting the other ‘essentials’ done) as well as a loaf of bread (there’s not much that fresh from the oven won’t cure, no?)
*making felted wool acorn caps (the cutest darn things ever)
*writing and posting cards and gifts
*bumping into an ig stranger/friend on the street of my new town, and a spontaneous ‘aren’t you…?’
*meeting and chatting with neighbours as we shovel for the second and third time of the day
*night walk-abouts with our old pup through knee deep snow, taking in all the twinkly snow-covered lights, watching others x-country ski down unplowed roads (magic)
*breakfast for dinner twice (yes indeed!)
*recognizing a building anticipation for family and Christmas to arrive and an equal measure of contentment with the peace and quiet of here and now…not wishing any time away (and it’s a lovely feeling)
*noting the overlaps between your week and mine…and loving that bit of synchronicity. xo
the overlaps…the sweetness in that makes me smile. xo
Noticing my Moments
::Sharing dinner with some friends in our recycled mini-patio…
::Sweet moments with our pets: dog, turtle, old canaries that we inherited…
::The doctors telling us that my husband´s arm is getting better after the accident with the kite (which took place this week, too)…
::A new haircut…
::My moments of meditation and running which helped me, specially in this “not so typical week” (with husband at home and with a terrible mood)…
::Praying…
::Thanking…
::Watching the moon…
::Taking photos, which, for me, connects myself to the present moment and makes me appreciate the world around and the simple things which settle and ground me…
::Thanking you for this invitation!!!
Nan
lovely bits of your week, Nan…so glad you shared!
and also glad your husband’s arm is getting better :)
