One more choice in a Year of Nurture

If you live in Meridian

you've probably lunched here . . . . Miss Tami's Cottage and Tea  Room

Lots of fussy decor to gaze at

and a great place to remember . . .

I choose to nurture

uh huh . . . a good place to goof off

Happy end of the year to you all

I hope you choose joy in one of your moments

(They even warmed up the atmosphere for us by turning on the electric heater)

My friend and I made a date for yummy food and a great chat

We caught up on life

We even calendared a summer vacation

That should beckon me through the rest of the school year

 . . . I think I hear ocean waves

Go out on a limb

Taste a brand new flavor . . .  a creamy soup with salmon

I liked it

and get a load of that black bread

I could imagine I was in Germany

What a beautiful server

And don't you just want to Pin that darling apron of hers!

When I warned her she would appear in my blog

I think she rolled her eyes

Oh my..... people really do use tea cozies....really

We split our lunches so we could sample more flavors

Chicken enchilada

Spinach, sun dried tomato, mushroom quiche

Juicy fresh pineapple

And, yes Kristen, I chose to put down my fork between bites

Nurture List #5

OO-eee

It's time

I'm off to do Nurture #5

after a very short night's sleep

Yea!

My resolution is to nurture

New year . . . . hm-m-m-m-m, a good time to take a deep breath and look ahead.

I declare this a Year Of Nurture!

I love the concept of being kind to ourselves . . . . . it seems so right. . . . like how the Savior would want us to act towards ourselves. There is plenty of harshness and trickiness in living in this ole world. I can get through the pressures of life so much better when I remember to ease up and offer courtesy to myself. The cool thing I've noticed is that there is a ripple effect. When I'm being generous of spirit to myself, I treat others with more patience, too.

I've blown it enough time to see the difference. I vote "Nurture."

Last night I started a Nurture brainstorm. I thought, I wonder how long it will take for me to list 100 ways I'd like to nurture myself. Not that long, folks. And I just might keep going.

But for now, I've put my list in a page here. Since this is my first time of creating a "page", I'm not sure how it's going to show up. I think when I click the "home" button, it might be there.

Won't it be interesting to find out.

So, what would you put on your Nurture List?
