life as it is.

this time of year my focus usually turns inward. i pour over recipes that bring comfort. the days are so short the nights are long and very cold. we are fully into the dark days of december.   the time spent together becomes more cozy.  more stories seem to be shared in front of the fireplace.  it's beautiful when there is a light snow falling, especially if there is no where to go. in this season there can be heightened anxiety with all that has to get done, but there are so many gifts of this season to love. remember to gather with family and friends, find light in their laughter, share stories, and  hold a place in your heart for all of it.

"our lives are made

in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours
these small hours still remain."
