About today...

{I did not realize that the chocolates I was given were French,

google translated this as:

"Always become the one you are, be the master and the sculptor of yourself."

Not sure what I think of this message but I enjoyed 

looking at the French words and remembering ones that I had learned

when I lived in Ottawa... 

I rested a lot today, after so much work this past few days! 

I was going to have Mexican hot chocolate today but I ran out of time,

as this one is made on the stove... 

My plan is to take about a quarter of one tablet and make it with about 2 cups milk...

I can't do the amount of hot chocolate normally suggested,, 

too rich for me and I like it it a bit less intense, but still with the 

great chocolate flavour and experience... :) 

I got my 2019 order of beeswax candles,

these have to be one of the biggest blessings I get every year, these candles,

as I light them in prayer when I am home (which is always unless traveling)

and I also get some blessed ... (DV this Friday locally and hopefully in 2 weeks 

at our far-away church!)... 

The last picture, FYI, is from here and my friend via social media 

gave me the word 'lebkuchen' and I googled that word + chocolate and discovered

the gingerbread chocolate covered cookies that we were given a few years ago,

that I just LOVED...

I am so looking for these, DV, next year :) 

Meanwhile, I am going to enjoy the many treats we have been given this year!

I emailed a friend that I am 'drenched in chocolate' this year,

so spoiled... :) 

I enjoy having treat times but with balance...

tonight I read, finally, a bit more of Christmas at Thrush Green while enjoying some

tea and Chex Mix... 

I thank God for today....
