Back in November, we were swapping homemade remedies.
Friends gathered around my dining room table discussing cough syrup. strep throat concoctions.
I lean more toward natural when it comes to medicine and doctors and vaccinating (or lack of).
After our evening, I was very inspired for our family to get sick!
I couldn’t wait for someone to come down with something so I could try all my new tricks.
It has (well..had) been a couple of years since we’ve been really sick with fevers and coughs.
I was sort of missing making hot tea and putting cold rags on little fevered heads.
Well….the germs were listening that night!
Oh they heard my wishes of wanting to try silly homemade cough syrup. What was I thinking?
Almost the entire month of December has been filled with sick.
and today…on the last day of the year…I’m Done! Finito! Fini! Afgewerkt!
I don’t care about a fever or cold or cough or (minor, minor) sore throat. anymore.
I will drug myself (legally and ring in the New Year with a clean kitchen floor!
Sounds exciting, right? It’s the simple things.
I went for a short walk in the snow alone…the cold air felt good to breath.
I plan on making some fun little foods for those of us who have somewhat of an appetite,
and I’m staying up late tonight! eating Martha Stewart’s apple cake with homemade caramel topping.
{I’ll share the recipe soon, I just don’t feel like getting up to get it right now. laziness.}
My dad works in the food industry…
he said fruit and vegetable sales skyrocket the first three weeks of January.then they drop off.
Obviously eating healthier is a big resolution for people….in January at least
I am wanting to….
Surrender more to God….give Him the lead and not let fear or fear of others hold me back.
Love God with my whole heart. Truly, truly love Him.
I want people to see the Holy Spirit living in me.
I also want to a better mailer. I am horrible at mailing things.
{side note…I live about 40 seconds away from the post office. Yeah, I’m very bad.}
I want to play the piano more. I have really been slacking with music and I love it so.
So how about you? any big new years plans? any fabulous resolutions for the new year?
Happy evening as you walk through the door of 2013!
