The little reminder to get back to myself seems to have unlocked something.
I'm remembering how to do it.
Why do I forget so easily?
Figured out the Christmas table favor -- phew. I'm going to do cutout cookies with my grandson (my childhood recipe). He can make and decorate a cookie for each person. I'll put it in a little bag with a bow. How fun is this?!?! Perfect little treat he'll be proud to give everyone.
Hung the garland. I like it more -- still not awesome, but cute enough and a little nod to crafting and a little nod to completing something that interested me (keeping a promise to myself). Who knows, might stay up for longer than the holidays.
Duke and I ran.
Took the time to go to the running trail.
Beautiful fall vibes.
Duke being brave on our cooldown walk.
Baked the cake (also ate way too much of it).
Made the effort to make something from scratch.
Gathered as a family and enjoyed the moment.

Figured out a few Christmas rocks to paint.
Sometimes deciding WHAT to paint is the hold up.
Now I can start the process, little by little.
Stay tuned.
My friend's mom from Peach Fest wrote me after my thank-you letter with a few questions. She made a darling Halloween card and even did cut out ghosts on the envelope, so I wrote her back a long letter inside a card from my aunt's art. Maybe we'll become penpals.
Letter writing is a lost art. It's a specific style of communication. Difference cadence. If I wrote that way in a text, it would be strange. In a letter, it works. Vintage vibe and I love it. Inspires me to look for other opportunities to write letters.
Hubby left for Asheville. I'd love to have a day to "play," but alas, it's all chores (including the dreaded court report). Best get going on it. The list is long (I started some things already).
I'm feeling the energy of the end of the year.
Ending well.
Imagining next year.
Setting the intention.
It's bringing me back.
Have a great start to the week.
Later gators.
