With the holiday season officially behind us, I’m finally sitting down and relaxing a little. How sweet is it to curl up with a warm cup of coffee, a couple of lit candles and the coziest blanket in the house? It is a sweet life! There are so many special moments in a week, a day and even in each hour we spend. Its easy to forget to find pleasure and gratitude in this crazy busy life. If you take the time to reflect and notice all the little things…you will find gratitude, pleasure and even the warmth of your own smile that grows from your heart. My love to all of you and take the time to appreciate all you have. Have a fantastic weekend! xoxo
{Santa brought Brad these adorable little tequila bottles. I’m loving the way they smile at me as I walk past them.}
{This is a childhood favorite. Peanut butter chews from Dewars “to die for delish”. My mother used to give my brother and I one pound each under the tree. It was one of the first things we looked for. The traditions still continues, even with my Mom gone many years now.}
{I can not say that a memorial paddle out is one of my favorite things. However, I an tell you that the overwhelming love of a family and community coming together to pay tribute to Loren Nancarrow who lived his life with amazing love was one of the most spectacular and loving tributes I have ever had the privilege to be a part of. Loren, the love you have left behind will live on with your beautiful family and in each and everyone of us. Thank You!}
So true, and I am worn out from the holidays and looking forward to getting back in to the swing of things.
