Lately I’ve tried not to dive daily headfirst into the current political mess we’re all in. There’s no question the stress flares the fibromyalgia, and it’s so not worth it over something I have little control over (like zero). What I can say today is that I was so happy when I woke up a few mornings ago to the news that a pedophiliac racist bigot who so hypocritically hides behind a religion like R*y More-or-Less was sent a very clear message – Decency Matters. I want to shout out to the world so that Alabama can hear – THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ALABAMA.
Onward! I’ve got all my shopping done and wrapped, been trying some new recipes too. It’s hell trying to avoid gluten at this time of year, and although I’ve given it a sincere effort, baking those favorite recipes with gluten free substitutes just.. sucks. SO… I’m making and baking as I always do, and I’m not eating it myself. Have you ANY idea how difficult that is? But I have to acknowledge my truth – while I am not a celiac, gluten makes me feel yuck and flares the fibro. *sigh.

This is the scene right this minute outside my little office window here at the farm.
Light snow falling on a stand of pine trees –
my favorite spot at This Old House.
The nature that surrounds us, the saving grace.
Till soon, friends –
