:Musings:

It’s feels strange not to be doing my 52 weeks of blessings post, especially when my heart is saying that I should continue. I’m still going back and forth but in the meantime, here’s some stuff that made me happy this week:

Rainy days which make for perfect crafting days.
A surprise in the mail from my online buddy Lauren. I’m sure all the crafters reading this can attest to how great it feels having someone send you a hand knit! It’s soft, delectable and I absolutely love it!!!
Got ready for the return of Downton Abbey with homemade scones. Best ones I’ve made ever!!!! And of course, there was tea!!!!
My new W.I.P basket. The message on the front of it makes it even more special to me since crafting really does make me happy.
Hearing from my Dr. that my blood sugar is back to normal. I’m not pre-diabetic anymore. In another six months, I can come off meds. Thank God for that!

Right now, we’re experiencing temps close to zero, with the wind chill it is zero and below. High today is 18. Goodness gracious, what a start to winter!!!

This morning at 7:12 am —

First Snowstorm NYC 2014

Five hours later:

The temps are brutal! News is warning people who are outside to bundle up and not risk hypothermia or frostbite. That’s how brutal the temps are.

This morning it looked like the sun would not be out today, but it’s back and we’re supposed to warm up by tomorrow. I guess like everything in life — the chill of winter is temporary … like everything else, it doesn’t last forever.

“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.”
