Winter Everywhere

Wow! It has been too long since I have posted... life has been too crazy! The holidaze were good, family here that hasn't been in sooooo long, if not ever! Life is jam packed with all kinds of wonderful things, that I feel grateful for and stressed out about, all at the same time. I want more time to "Just Be" and I don't seem to be finding it. But I am looking....
Here are a few things that I have walked away with from the last few months...

1.We created some new traditions this year that I hope will stick around. They helped the holidaze have meaning for me and a sense of calmness.
2.I miss my garden and my time in it. We have been having some work done on the outside of our home and my yard has paid the price. When it is all done I am going to make some really thoughtful plans for what I want our yard and garden to bring into our lives.
3. I must get exercise or I am not a nice person to be around. It is something I must make room for. if I don't have it I won't be any good to my family, friends or the world.
4. I am still simplifying, simplifying and getting the stuff out. More and more yet to come. My closet is getting ever so bare and it feels good to have the stuff (and the choices) GONE. I will make very conscious decisions in the future as to what comes in.
5.Looking for space...space in my life to show myself of the possibilities. I am trying to create space by prioritizing and letting go. This is such a work in progress.

It is winter even here in Southern California. So I am cuddling up, hunkering down and taking some time to think.
