Recently on Pars Caeli, MJ mentioned how much color influences her home decor.
Though, like she mentions, my own taste has grown up, I looked around recently and realized that I have surrounded myself with color. Jolts of fushia, magenta, cadimum yellow, coral, and viridium... all colors too pretty and vibrant to use their "everyday" names...
"You must have taken down the tree last year.
It's organized.
Easy.Takes all the fun out of it."
It's getting to be the time of year of work parties, choral recitals, ugly sweater shin-digs, and otherwise packed calendars. The cooler temperatures seem to fuel the hustle and bustle.
My hope is that everyone's Christmas season is organized and easy... or at the very least: fun.
For a while now I've been fighting my body which has been telling me to rest. Because I'm stubborn (and because I wasn't convinced that the work I was doing actually counted as "work") I ignored it.
This past few weeks my body finally won. It's amazing how something as simple as the ability to sleep through the night makes you appreciate all the much larger blessings in your life.
Today I'm grateful for
moist homemade lemon cake with the most deliciusly tart glaze
(and the time I had to make it),
random green bushiness that I found at the grocery store
(which is currently passing for our holiday decor),
and vintage milk glass jewelry
(because sometimes a girl needs some bling).
