Living A Beautiful Life

Over the holidays I read a fabulous book, spurred on by comments left by many of you on a post on another blog. 

I can't remember which blog, but I immediately pulled up my Amazon account and ordered the book. 

The Simple Beauty of Winter

We awoke to a lovely surprise this morning - a true winter wonderland, which was not part of the weather forecast I heard last night.

It made me smile on a morning when I didn't feel like smiling. 

The Good Things Comin'

Why, you ask, did I not feel like smiling?

The Good Things Comin'

Because I have to work today....on my day off. 

And tomorrow....on my other day off. 

Which means no day off for me this week. 

Which makes me a very cranky girl. 

The Good Things Comin'

I need my quiet time. I need my time away from the office. I need to be able to have a day where I can stay in my jammies all day if I feel like it. 

Not that I would....ever. 

Wink, wink.

I still managed to get a couple of little chores done before leaving for work. The sheets were changed, all the laundry done, and the dishwasher was humming away happily when I left.

And my daughter took the most lovely photos of the snowfall this morning, which I am grateful for.  (I have linked back to her blog under each photo in case you'd like to pop over for a visit.)

She also brought in wood. 

And shoveled the walk. 

And when I left for work she was cleaning the lower level. 

Teamwork. 

Isn't it wonderful?
