Today..late in the Week

Today I am..

Feeling..Warm and cozy! Seth's had a few days off and we've been just enjoying the cool, sunshiny days at home. He split a bunch of wood, there's water heating up on the stove for me to bathe in tonight, and I've drunk a whole pot of jasmine-rose tea. Life is good.

Seeing..my husband and daughter dancing to Shakira in the lamplight, adorable! It's this one, by the way:

..and there's nothing like seeing a grown man and a little girl rocking out to happy music!

Smelling.. my newest essential oils, mixed with water and steaming from the stove-top. Patchouli, Rose, and Ylang-ylang...An amazing combination, they smell so... exotic - so REAL yurt buried in snow and tapestried all into abundance. 

Tasting..the bees-wax and olive oil balm I've been smearing on my poor chapped lips all day..with a bit of Sandalwood and Almond added to the balm when I found the oil at my mother-in-laws..not bad..not exactly tasty, but at least it matches the scents filling the air!

Listening.. now we've moved from Shakira to John Prine: "They call our love a back-street affair"..which, I mean, it kind of is..in the song, I mean.. not in my life. Also to Yarrow 'checking your belly-button'..'Oooh..oh...hmmm...Your turn now, Daddy!' It's hilarious. Luba though is not amused.."huft" she sighs from the couch..and then louder - "HUFT" because no one is listening.

Grateful...for a few days with Seth at home! We've missed him these past few weeks of busy-ness at work.

Reading..Havoc in it's Third Year..I don't remember who wrote it, but it was my free-book in thanks for donating to The Gnu's Room, and it's really good!

Loving..my cozy little house, Christmas presents-in-the-planning, and the moon - who's so enthusiastically bright tonight!

Hoping..to get going on all the goals I have listed... why is the doing so much harder than the planning????
