hello, february

Happy Groundhog’s day!

Rumor has it there will be an early spring, which is amazing news. It is humorous, though, because today of all days, we’ve gotten a huge snowstorm. I am currently listening to the wind rattle our screens, [yes, they’re still on, :/ probably should take those off one of these winters], and watching the snow piles grow outside our front door.

It’s been a while since I’ve written and I’m feeling guilty! This place has been my escape and has quenched my thirst for creative writing, and I’m definitely feeling thirsty to get back to it.

Some happenings around here of late….

I’ve been dinin’:

I’ve been snackin’ …

I’ve been goofin’ ….

I’ve been snugglin’ ….

I’ve been cookin’ …

[my quinoa banana pancake recipe can be found here]

I’ve been laughin’ …

I’ve been trickin’ …

Ace and charlie

I’ve been runnin’ …

 So there ya have it, the happenings of my life the past couple weeks.

I’ve also been battling with some dark days. Not often, just waves of feeling-sorry-for-myself-pity-party vibes that cover me like a warm blanket, and at times, it’s tough to get out. The closer April creeps, I’m afraid the more frequent these days will become.

So, I’ll throw myself into house projects, finally learning Spanish [again!], and getting back on the running train, [running a 15k in April with my favorites].

Welp, just got the call that I’m delayed two hours tomorrow, off to watch some netflix with Tony <3

    “The strongest among us are the ones who smile through the pain, cry behind closed doors, and fight battles no one knows anything about” You are strongest person I know. Keep on fighting by dining, laughing, goofing, snuggling, cooking, snacking, running, tricking and learning. More good times and the best is yet to come ….
