My Favorite Things . . .

A few of the things that make me smile, bring happiness and joy, and make my heart go pitter pat. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I say its worth a thousand smiles. 

 

I bought these for the tin because it was really cute and I can't resist a cute tin.  But the cookies are surprisingly good. And I had really no expectation that they would be.  I got them at the SuperStore for $5.99 and they are worth every penny.  There is two layers of cookies in the tin and they are really delicious. Best Danish Butter Cookies ever!

And those are my favorites for this week  . . .  The world is filled with beauty.

Oh, but I did not sleep well last night. I woke up several times with bad dreams.  In the first one I was in bed next to my youngest daughter that doesn't have anything to do with me and I was defending myself and she was making faces at me.  I was getting more and more agitated. I got up and went to the bathroom and then read for a little bit to get it out of my mind.  Then I dreamt I was at school and there was a male teacher and he was a bully and so I decided I was just going to leave and go home.  So when he went to take the class to gym I slipped out. I was trying to tunnel my way through the snow to find my way back to my house and he was following me and I knew he was going to hurt me if he caught up to me.  I was frantic to get away but my house was not where it was supposed to be and I was hiding from him. Scary. I made myself wake up. By then it was time to get up anyways.  But I don't feel rested at all. I may take myself back to bed for a bit  . . . 

A thought to carry with you  . . .

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Hershey's Perfect One Bowl Chocolate Cake. The small batch. I made one nine-inch layer, cut it in half and stacked it. Delicious.

I hope you have a lovely day filled with lots of pretties and joys!  Whatever you get up to, don't forget!
