A is for Alaska. When we moved here seven years ago we were only coming for an adventure. We only planned on staying two years. We fell in love with everything about it (except the cold) and can’t imagine not living here right now.
B is for Blogging/Blogs. A few years ago I discovered the love of blogs and eventually blogging myself. I have found new friendships, interests, recipes, outlooks on life, and the ability to know that how I feel and how I express myself is so very important. It has been such a healthy outlet in my life.
C is for Challenge. My focus word for the year. I am so ready to challenge myself this year.
D is for Decorating. I am addicted. There. I said it.
E is for Explore. One of my favorite things to do. Grab a camera and head out to explore and see what I can find.
F is for Friendships. Once you win your place in my heart you are there forever. Not many make it there but when they do it is a huge blessing in my life.
G is for Gordon. I have been happily married for over 20 years. When I see him I still feel a little flutter. No relationship other than that of my savior will ever compare.
H is for Happiness. Some days I have to work at this but I am very grateful that I can say I am happy.
I is for Inspiration. With all the great and inspiring people around me I never lack for Inspiration.
J is for Journals. I have been known as a Moleskine addict. I love my journals I only wish I was better about writing in them.
L is for Light. I love light and I live in Alaska, I know. I think I appreciate it much more now.
M is for Martha. I want to be her when I grow up.
N is for Nature. Nothing completes me more than being in Nature.
O is for Organizing. This is what makes my heart tick. LOVE it.
P is for Photography. There are many things that fill the gaps in our lives. This is one gap filled for me.
Q is for Quiet. I love my quiet time. Just me and my thoughts…..we go wild.
R is for Rodney, Raquel, and Rusty. That happened my accident actually….the naming the kids with “R’s” when it came time for the youngest everyone said they should all have an “R” and so we did. Love these kids and I can’t imagine life without them. I am so lucky that I am their mom.
S is for Simplicity. It's as simple as that.
T is for Tender mercies. This is a tender mercy. Checking your mail and finding a card from someone who was thinking of you at the end of a very long day.....that is a tender mercy. Having the flu for a week and someone brings you a hearty pot of soup because they were thinking of you....that is a tender mercy.
U is for Understanding. This comes back to learning for me. If I don’t understand it I have learned nothing. Understanding is essential.
V is for Vegetables. Thank goodness for Full Circle Farm to bring me a basket full of goodies. It would be devastating to have to eat local veggies.
W is for Whimsy. Just a little bit will go a long way.
X is for relaX. I enjoy my down time hanging at home.
Y is for Yucatan. I dream of the Yucatan Peninsula this time of year. I can't wait for May....Cancun here I come.
Z is for Zen. For lack of a better idea I stole this one. But I tend to like it....who does not love a little zen?
More ABC's over here....
Great list, thanks for sharing! I could do with some of your 'x' right now!
