Cookies? You're thinking why am I thankful for cookies????
OK, I am not exactly thankful for cookies.........although I do like them and eat plenty of them. It's really hard for me to say this but I am thankful for the cooler weather that forces me to stay inside and for the bit of ambition I have been experiencing. Monday morning I had just a few errands to run and was home in less than an hour. I was planning on an out of town shopping trip but I didn't have my list in order so I stayed home and decided to bake some cookies, pinwheel cookies .... I haven't made them in years and I like them. For some reason I am in the mood to bake this year...hope it lasts. When I was a single parent with my 3 children at home I use to bake lots of cookies and candy and freeze them for Christmas. I tried to hide them in an unheated closet so the kids wouldn't eat everything up....it was a bit successful. The past several years I haven't baked much...not sure if it was due to apathy on my part or that of my family's, lack of time, dietary concerns, or just laziness. I also cleaned out one of my cupboards today.
Last week on Monday I took everything out of the pantry and cleaned it out. Let's hope this keeps up!!!
What, if anything, have you done in preparation for Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate)?

I can so relate to this post! I love summer & enjoy all the outdoor activites & things summer brings but this year I'm kind of looking forward to winter. It seems I'm much more at peace in the winter. I do things around the house & just enjoy a simpler way of life. I so get why you are thankful for this!
