Outside my window...
the sky is blue and the robins are singing.
I am thinking...
of the beauty that surrounds me every day.
I am thankful...
for home and family.
I am praying...
for my children's dreams to come true.
I am reading...
nothing at all right now. Too busy decorating!
I am creating...
my Christmas Eve story for this year,
our annual Christmas card poem,
and a new Christmas playlist (coming soon).
From the kitchen...
early morning sounds from my son,
who spent a late night helping me decorate the Christmas tree.
Around the house...
I can see every Christmas decoration I own, all in disarray.
One of my favorite things...
the golden triad: yummy candle, soft throw, good book.
A few plans for the coming weeks...
to relax, cultivate, and enjoy the spirit of Christmas.
Cozy up, everyone. The fun's about to begin!!
=)

Ah, reading this was like a deep cleansing breath.
It all sounds good to me! It's actually going to be a quiet month around here.
:) I can feel the Christmas spirit taking root in your heart and home!
I can't wait to get my Christmas stuff out. Your poetry is beautiful:)
I just finally found a few of my Christmas boxes. Huzzah!
The only thing I have out are our advent calendars.
Sounds like things are cozy at your house....
Beautiful.
Thanks.
Love to you and your beautiful family.
Whoot. I will have to pull up your soundtrack because I can't listen to it here at work. Dang! I too love the smells of Christmas candles...love it!! Bring on the fun!
Beautiful as always. I am going to start decorating this weekend.
I love the look outside your living room window. You have Norman Rockwell looking neighborhood.
I'm in the middle of decorating and also helping one kiddo get his stuff moved...but I have hope of peace on my little square of earth very soon! Beautiful pics!
Thanks for the peek inside your brain. It's pretty in there.

Your latest follower, Annette
mmm. I love your 'golden triad' there's nothing better.
Wow! Am I ever envious of your beautifully decorated home. It is the evening of Dec 8 and I realize I have lost almost a week of reading your blog or even sneaking a minute to get on the computer. I have been so engrossed with my early baking....crazy time here. I would love to have my place peaceful and restful and all those good sounding adjectives to describe a perfectly wonderful Christmas environment, but, alas, my tree is half done (most of the decorations still in boxes on the dining room table. My kitchen is full of dirty dishes left from todays baking.....and so it goes, but I decided if I didn't take a little time while Dick is watching his way behind taped programs of Fox News to at least read your blog, I would never get to it. One thing, when I am this late, no one will be reading my comments to these older blogs, so it is like writing a private note, or is it? At any rate, I am glad that you are so way ahead of me. You deserve it after all you have been through since the Thanksgiving crowd descended on you. I hope you can have a wee bit of a rest until the Christmas crowd makes their appearance. I know that will be another great time for you. It is wonderful to have family near, especially on Holidays. enough already
