happy things to be thankful for

  • Teaching again. Last week and this week I have been teaching yoga again for the first time since we moved (about 3 months). Whilst it has rendered me bone tired having been crazy busy at work again, I had forgotten just how much I love it. The first night I was so nervous but as soon as I started it all came flooding back and I thought "oh how I've missed this!"
  • A vat of homemade Yellow Split Pea Daal which has kept me fed during a week when I have had next to no time to cook.
  • Organic gin. Abel and Cole have their Christmas goodies in so we got some of this last week. My, oh my is it good (although of course I can only have one small one because of headaches and falling asleep!). Himself has organic Scotch, but hasn't tried it yet.
  • Vegan hot chocolate (even though, despite checking everything for traces of dairy it still gave me tummy ache - why do all the yummy things hate me!)
  • Binge reading.
  • 100% support from Himself on a new project I want to work towards when I actually thought he would try and talk me out of it on the grounds of "doing too much".
  • The "it's nearly here" feeling of a 10 day break over Christmas!
  • A rumour that (shhhh!) it might snow!!!

Those are good things :)

I just want the snow to hold off until the kids break up for Christmas holidays ..... and then I can admire it from my window rather than have to battle through it each (early) morning ;)

If you like gin, have you tried Hendricks, with a slice of cucumber in it? Heavenly!

Hey Phil, my mum loves Hendricks! This organic stuff is called "Juniper Green" and it is delightful :D

I have lime in my G&Ts, I've never tried it with cucumber - I'll give it a go.
