Chill in the air

Slow day. The weather has definitely taken a turn to colder temperatures and my body has decided that it can't warm up. No matter what pair of socks I put on my feet still feel cold and last night we turn on heat for the first time this fall. It's time to start making soup and I found a couple of new recipes I want to try.

From SimplyRecipes - Butternut Squash Apple Soup
and Kale and Roasted Vegetable Soup
from Nami-Nami - Spicy Red Lentil Soup

Living consciously...

For practice: ...take note of your fear and what triggers it.

I like the quote that Hendricks shared in the reading - "Fear is excitement without the breath." (Fritz Perls) I felt that several times driving home yesterday as a truck would swerve or some car would cut us off. It took a few breaths to feel better. My "other" fears just aren't as active as they were when I was younger. I know who I am, I have strengths and weaknesses, I stumble and get up, I have insight and I can make a fool of myself... I enjoy the excitement in life and I guess, through the years (after much trial and error) I've learned how to breathe. Thank goodness!

One more day to go and I'm happy to say that I've more than exceeded my expectations! Last year I struggled a bit but still managed to post everyday. This year, because of the way NaBloPoMo was set... Read More »

NOPQRS - to be Thankful for

Napa – Done a little wine tasting in Napa! One year we camped outside Napa with friends, sitting around the campfire drinking wine and listening to coyotes (we think) – a fun time in our lives.

Oregon – Shout out to Oregon. I lived here for thirty years. I like being “close” to everything without being in it: the mountain, the coast, the cities. The…

HIJKLM - to be Thankful for

ABCDEFG - to be Thankful for

I've been so lucky to have traveled that I thought I'd end the last few days by paying special attention to a few places that I am thankful to have been.

Anchorage - My parents celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary with seventeen family member (children and grandchildren.) Our first stop was Anchorage, the beginning of our inland passage cruise.

Bristol - My husband and I l…

Z-list to be Thankful for

Z

Zoo - I love zoos. I admit it - even though I also feel a bit guilty about it. That's why I'm particularly thankful for zoos that have a focus on protection of endangered animals and those that make more than adequate habitats for the animals.

Zippers - My grandmother died a decade ago and I "inherited" her sewing notions. (I was the only one in the family to even goes near a sewing machine so her stuff was shipped to me.) There is a lot of lace and bias…

Thanks for joining the Quilting group! I expect it to get a lot bigger before we get too far into this.

I just visited your blog and I love the creative quilts and quiltlets you've got up there, especially the door. I *really* love that door!

Welcome to Creative Bloggers! So, I see you've done this before. I'll have to ask you for tips on how to stay sane - but then again, do we really want to? Have fun!
