Winter Wonderland

Snow at the Park

Snow arrived last Sunday, January 12th and stayed on the ground and roads till today.

News kept telling us that there will be rain, but it turned out to be sunny outside today.

Snow started to melt.

While we were at our adobe, Nolan baked a couple batches of Chocolate Chip and Chocolate/Walnuts cookies. Really nice to have homemade cookies!

And I have been trying to figure out of how to get a digital antenna working with my older TV set. It works best with a flat TV instead.

And we went sledding at our home and at the park nearby.

Funny thing is that when we were at Costco months ago, I noticed that there many sleds available. I told Nolan that we better grab one. He thought I was weird and did not know what I was doing.

I told him that the snow is going to be here anytime. Of course it had been on my mind to get him a new sled even when he was young, but I did not.

So this time I insisted that we grab that sled. And we put it in the garage.

Guess what?!?! The snow came earlier this week. It was great thing that we had a sled available in the garage! Ready to be used. It was such a champ to go sledding!

At last, I grabbed some time to mop and to polish our hardwood floor in the kitchen with new products. It looks so awesome. It looks shiny and polished!

During snowy nights, I had been watching a TV show called Greenleaf. It was full of mystery and interesting. It was something different compared with Dallas, Dynasty, and Falcon Crest!

As a result, it was nice and mellow for both of us that there were a few things that kept us busy especially during snowy days.

How is your Winter season going?

Had fun in the Snow.

The Passion Planner

Passion Planner in Blush and The Passion Test book.

I recall in the past, I tend to purchase planners every year. I felt it is somewhat a waste of money and space. Of course, time flies every year.

For instance, year of 2020 is already here. I get to write down my appointments, goals, thoughts, and sketches. It is like having a combination of an appointment book and a journal.  All in one.  I think it would be a great benefit for me to continue by doing self-evaluation to see how much I have improved. And to see of how much I was able to achieve my goals and my dreams.  This way I can give myself self-esteem based on who I am as an individual.  I will see how it goes.

At the same time, I am reading a book entitled The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose written by Janet Bray Atwood and Chris Atwood. I find this book quite fascinating.

This book helped me to do self-evaluation and do an analysis based on what is my passion.

Now I need to downsize and choose five different items that is related to my personal interests, which I want to focus on this year.

Hope that this year brings you an opportunity to think of what kind of objective you want to work on.
