my life in pictures plus some thoughts

Pictures from yesterday and this morning 🌸🥰

It's hard to find balance in life, is part of what I am seeing.  I need to figure out how to get exercise and do everything I need to do.  Plus rest when I need it.

So I finished Volume 1 of The Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion.  It's fabulous.   Volume 2 I have begun and find it so deliciously funny at times.  It's such a blessing to have books that give rest and enjoyment.

I am also back to reading more academic Orthodox theology. 🧐😳😂 And it's really good but also a workout intellectually speaking and creates lists upon lists of questions.

May God have mercy on us 🙏🕯️

blessings of beauty and sunshine

I am feeling more myself again. 

Wobbly sometimes but every one struggles in this life.

May God have mercy on us 🙏

Roasted Brussel Sprouts Recipe

I can never find my recipe so putting it here. Hope to edit and add pictures later.

My friend N emailed me this in 2019....

"I think I just cleaned and halved them, set the oven to 430 or so and warmed butter and oil in the pan before tossing them in with lots of nutmeg and some salt/pepper. Shifted them about a few times while cooking. Probably 20 minutes or so!"

the only charge to the receipt is we use olive oil instead of butter.... 🌸
