This year has been pretty chill, well except for always having plenty to do. One good thing about my frustration with federal politics is that it awoke in me a deeper gratitude for the constitution and law and I care about politics more deeply. In fact, I participated in my first march.
J had to go to Germany for a little over a week so I made my first batch of overnight pizza dough without him. I was impressed it turned out well. Valentines Day was lovely, with someone surprising me with heart decorations on my door.
I have felt very loved by my family and friends and it makes my heart smile.
I am sometimes discouraged by all the bulling and hard hearts and minds in the world today, but then I look around me and see the beauty of love, kindness and intelligence. I know I have been given an amazing blessing to have these people around me, as well as healthy, loving and happy kids.
