I Like
hot chocolate or hot toddy
I don't recall ever having a hot toddy so I guess I will pick hot chocolate. It is a rare treat. It can be overly sweet. If I am going to consume empty calories then I want salty! But I do have some hot chocolate in the house and I must remember to make some for my granddaughter when she sleeps over next week. She will love it!
This poem landed in my email this morning. I love poetry. The soul of a poet is a beautiful thing!
“Praying” It doesn’t have to be a few words together and don’t try into thanks, and a silence in which Mary Oliver, from Thirst |
I awoke to a dusting of our first snow this morning. I knew it had to come eventually. I am grateful that we were able to get the massive amount of leaves our tree finally dropped all bagged up before the snow.
I am still practising joy every day. It is the same thing as a gratitude practice. Taking the time to train our brain to notice the positive is such a good thing to do. I find I catch the negative thoughts that slip in much more quickly.
Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends!
Pretty snowflake. We got a wee bit of snow here, too. Yay for practicing joy. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that poem! Mary Oliver is a favorite poet of mine, too. It snowed here in Colorado yesterday. It's that time of year!
ReplyDeleteI would go for hot chocolate, too, and I always make it myself from milk, cocoa powder and sugar cane sugar. The latter is used sparingly, so the drink never gets too sweet.
