\"DSC_9157\"<\/a>People like to ask us if we wish we were back in Arizona. Nope. It’s cold, but that’s part of the Utah package. And we really sacrificed to get here.<\/p>\n

The boys are fascinated by our icicles. I do not like the spelling of the word icicles.<\/p>\n

The little boys and I like to measure our amaryllis plant growing in the light of the window. We do it several times a day.<\/p>\n

Today I’ll finish reading The Long Winter<\/em> in my Little House marathon. It helps me to feel warm and blessed since it’s not 40 below and I have a furnace and flour.<\/p>\n

Today I bought some pretty cards so I can spread some love via mail. Some people I know really need some love.<\/p>\n

I also bought a $1 daily planner so I can keep a copy of my to do lists. I was really inspired by a blog post I read by a woman who found her mother’s 1968 planner. She listed everything her mother had written in that planner for a year. What a marvelous picture of a woman’s life, full of 1960’s flavor. I thought it would be interesting to save my lists for 2013 instead of throwing them away.\u00a0 I am a list maker on most days. Maybe in 50 years somebody will be amused to read that I wrote something called blog posts, went to a store called Costco (often!), and at age 38, still hadn’t figured out how to do laundry in an organized way.<\/p>\n

Today I didn’t make a list. I’ve been a little aimless in my pursuits, but sometimes that’s good, too. Sometimes I make a list of things I have DONE rather than a list of things I need to DO. This way, I can check off everything on my “list.”<\/p>\n

It’s not too hard to be happy in the winter. I surround myself with office supplies and books. Good times!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
