Merry Christmas to one and all! Trusting your day unfolded in a beautiful way for you.
I have spent a quiet day at home. I didn’t sleep lots last night so I took a nap today. It is a beautiful day on the prairie today. After I finish blogging I am going to go out and do chicken chores and take a walk. Rain is to come in tonight and tomorrow and then it is to cool down a bit. Need to take advantage of this beautiful day and get outside and move my body.
I charged the dog collars today and found one of them isn’t working. I will have to go to town tomorrow and see if the store I purchased them at can help me fix it. Not sure why the second dog was able to get through the electronic fence. I put the collars on a bit tighter to see if that will help.
Did some housecleaning this morning. Have a bit more to do but am almost ready for my guests to arrive tomorrow evening.
Plan on making some more Christmas treats when I get done with my walk. I have the ingredients and need to use them up. The kids will usually take home the leftovers for me so things don’t go to waste.
For some reason I have gained four pounds this week. I haven’t been eating off plan so am not sure what is going on. I did eat rice Sunday night and Soy Sauce. Maybe that did it. Grains don’t seem to agree with my body. I felt very bloated last night. It seems to be better today. I’ll have to get my suggested menu out and double-check that I am not eating something not on plan if the weight doesn’t come back off quickly. I haven’t had this happen before so am not sure what is going on. It could be I have been lazy the last couple of days and haven’t moved my body much.
Ellexia FaceTime me and gave me a video tour of her presents. She got a new phone so she called me on it so I would have her new number. She likes to talk to me and share her day with me. I enjoy talking to her. Actually I don’t talk much – I just listen to her talk.
Kathy called me this morning and we had a nice visit. Always good to hear from her. She is having a grand time seeing her grandchildren and children.
‘Tis the time of year for reflection and planning for 2019. It feels like 2019 will be a big year full of change for me. I’m excited to see where 2019 may take me. Time for me to break out of another box or two that has felt closed around me. Time for me to get out into the world more and connect with others in a more meaningful way.
Grateful for this beautiful Christmas Day full of peace and quiet, grateful for family, and grateful for the potential 2019 offers me.
