"No worry, no hurry" has been my theme since preparing for the drive from Alabama to Colorado. Since this is my first Christmas in Lakewood and I'm still nailing my budget, I've kept the holiday expenditures to a minimum. There's not much worry or hurry in that.
Do you have a list of to-dos that need accomplishing in order to prepare your home and/or property for the winter season? What are some of the jobs on your list? Are you a do-it-yourselfer or do you hire someone to accomplish these tasks?
Nope.
According to dietitians surveyed, the most popular health foods for 2018 will be -turmeric, sprouted foods (bean sprouts, breads with sprouted grains, etc), veggies in place of grains, dairy free milk, and pulses (lentils, chickpeas, etc). What's the first thought that ran through your head when you read this list? Of the foods listed which one might you add to your regular diet? Also, can milk really be dairy free? Is it still milk?
First thoughts? Meh.
What would I add? I already eat hummus (made of garbanzo beans or chickpeas) and veggies, and I'm not drinking anything labeled "dairy free milk"--unless you count non-dairy coffee creamer.
Non-dairy milk? The dictionary definition of milk is "an opaque white fluid rich in fat and protein, secreted by female mammals for the nourishment of their young." If it ain't this, it ain't milk. Sure, they call it milk because "Almond Squeeze" or "So Much Soy You'll Put More Methane in the Air Than a Dairy Cow Juice" isn't good marketing. Praise God I'm not lactose intolerant.
The Pantone Color of the Year for 2018 is Ultra Violet. According to the Pantone site 'Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking pointing us to the future.' What say you? Do you like the color purple? Did you see the movie or read the book-ha!? Is purple a color you wear often? Describe for us one purple item in your home without using the word purple. If you were in charge of such things what color would you select for 2018?
First, who or what is Pantone and why do they get to tell us what color is what? Yes, I looked the website and no, it didn't help. Anyway. Purple is one of my favorite colors. I do wear purple, but don't yet have anything purple in my décor. My sister and I have seen The Color Purple so many times that we have portions of it memorized. I may read the book in the future..
I wouldn't pick a color for 2018. It takes all colors to beautify the world. Let's use them all.
Favorite book read this year?
So far, my favorite book for the year is Real Artists Don't Starve by Jeff Goins. If you'd like to read my review, it's here.
I plan to read a lot during my Christmas vacation, so my opinion of a favorite may change.
Insert your own random thought here.
We had our team Christmas potluck today. From the food to lovely gifts exchanged, there was a bounty of things to be thankful for.
