Today… (December Edition)

Today…

Outside my window…It has been raining non-stop all throughout the week which has made for very gloomy, bed weather. It is hard to get up every morning and harder to go out to finish Christmas shopping.

I am thinking…if I will be able to finish everything I want to accomplish before Christmas Eve.

I am thankful for…blessing of work that has let me give more to my family, friends and charity this season. I thought this was going to be a “lean” Christmas but I get to fulfill a little wishes this year. It’s simple gifts though, not extravagant like solitaire engagement rings, just enough to put a smile on my loved ones’ faces. So thankful for that!

From the kitchen…my Mom’s spaghetti!

I am wearing…a tank top and capri jeans.

I am creating…Christmas gifts for the grandparents.

I am going…to the mall to get some me time after mass – time for a digiperm!

I am reading…the Happiness Project.

I am hoping…that there will be sunny weather next week!

I am hearing…Christmas songs and Fred Claus the movie in the background.

Around the house…bits and pieces of Christmas cheer!

One of my favorite things…my new Moleskine notebooks!

A few plans for the rest of the week: It’s my eldest’s 11th birthday so we are taking him out shopping!

A picture I love:

However, motherhood stays exciting, more meaningful and yes, more challenging. She takes it all in stride, knowing fully well that moments pass by in a blink of an eye. As Gretchen Rubin famously said, “The days are long, but the years are short.” She has discovered how wonderful it is to have those fleeting moments in time documented in their family books and has made it her personal mission and passion to be able to tell their stories for her future grandkids.
