tonight I am trying out a different tea…
not really loving the one that I’m drinking at work…
this is Twinings Chai… enjoyable but not sure if I will enjoy drinking it all day long…
but I am certainly liking it right now;-)…
will keep you posted…

the moon last night was spectacular… every time I went past a window I would take a few minutes to admire it… decided to just enjoy it and not even try to take any pictures…
trees were lovely this morning… lots of hoarfrost… was happy to look at them every chance I had on the drive in to work…
left early and had a lovely time shopping at Polo Park… eventually picked a pair of jeans and dropped them off to be hemmed… can’t ever find any pants that don’t have to be taken up…
I mentioned it to the woman who was helping me at Cleo and she gave me a 10% off card for Stitches for the hemming…
stopped at the Peoples Jewellers store to have my wedding band cleaned and had a lovely browse through their rings… saw a pretty amethyst one… my ring is getting loose and I wonder what I will do when it is too big to stay on my finger… should I have it sized or stop wearing it… this will be a big decision…
really wanted to get a pretzel while I was in the mall, but I kept walking… was hard though…
as I left I realized that I had enjoyed my shopping time… all on my own…
those big girl pants fit better more and more often…

another great day off…
worked on my list of prep for next weekend, and then Christmas… wrapped the last few parcels… put ribbon on the finished ones and made sure that each person had an ornament on one of their gifts…
then I sorted out which gifts will stay here and be opened on Sunday when we have our Christmas with everyone, and the ones that will go to my daughter’s house for our actual Christmas morning celebration…
also preparing to stay healthy by getting the shingles vaccine this morning… on my way there saw these two adorable reindeer…
had to stop and take a picture… very cute…
had a triennial medical appointment and picked up a few final items as I prepare for the holidays… think I got the last gift…
picked up these little numbers for me…
brought home all the groceries for the week and our Christmas dinner…
still on a roll, cleaned out the fridge and put everything away…
then a rest, lol… 
finally tidied everything up… looks lovely and I am feeling much better about what is left to do over the next few days…
was able to enjoy each piece of my day as I worked on my preparations…

be in the moment, beautiful outside, beauty around us, big girl pants, blanket of snow, critters in the garden, enjoy, snow
this morning it was so beautiful outside and I wanted to take some pictures, but it was too early…
backyard…
everything was covered in a lovely blanket of snow… nothing had walked across it in the back yard, although cars had driven down the front street…
when I got home I took a few pictures while it was still light… unfortunately critters had been around and about in the garden…
fun in the snow…
not exactly sure what it was that played by the pond, but there are some big marks in the snow back there…
snow on the tree…
sometimes we forget to enjoy the beautiful moments when they happen… might be in a hurry, have something on our minds…
I must remember to be in the moment…
