Resolutions

The new year is just around the corner now.  Winter has moved to the landscape covering the ground in a foot or so of white, bright snow.  Walking the dogs is now skiing the dogs and we slide our way around the edges of the property, marveling at the mountain range to the east and laughing at the dogs digging their way down to prospective mice.  

Making resolutions at the turn of the year has been an annual tradition.  This year, I have created a new hashtag even though I really don't understand what a hashtag is or what it does or where it goes.  #RightNowRightHere!  Noting these moments that are so fine!  Pausing, as we did yesterday, to be aware of the "now".  Our shadows stretching way out in front of us, Ruby wondering why we stopped, the snow covered mountains in the distance - these lovely moments.  

It's easy to get caught up in life, especially this time of the year with so many things needing to get done and plans needing to be made.  Take a moment, pause, and enjoy the moment.  Then do a hashtag #RightHereRightNow!  Maybe our photos will all go somewhere together......I just don't know! 

Slow Foods reopens next week.  I've enjoyed the three weeks of trying new recipes and not cooking quite so much.  Here is a glimpse of kitchen outputs.
