To 2019!

First day, working out the kinks.  And practicing self-forgiveness, letting go, appreciation, and gratitude.

New Year's Eve - casual party and cupcakes for the hostess with the mostest; she entertains, she's an activist, she works, she gets out and has regular extracurriculars, her life and balance is the aspiration.  Second party fell by the wayside - missed the host, not so much his usual roster of guests.  And, well, falling a little short and cutting a little slack, not attending events that do not bring true enjoyment is ok.

Orange cornmeal cupcakes with sweet black-eye peas, pomegranate seeds, and mint - for Hostess with the Mostest's party.  Cornmeal = gold; round = coins and riches; sweets = sweet year; oranges = round coins, health, infinity; green leaves = currency; black-eyed peas = swollen, increases, plenty; pomegranate seeds = fertility.  No pork, but this is the Year of the Pig = progress, forward motion.

Late wake-up, salvaged by a brisk park walk.

Hellebores - early winter flowers.


Connection with cousins and nephews, and new connections.

Base touching with NF, and plans set for a rendezvous.

Chores undone, but soul content.  The 2nd affords a second chance.
