February 9th - Vitamin D-Day
Check out Charlie soaking up some of that good Vitamin D. We all hung outside on the back porch this afternoon - drank some hot tea (us, not the dogs), and turned our faces toward the much-missed sun.
February 8th - Pho Show
Tonight! Low key date night to get Pho at our little Vietnamese restaurant down the street. Pho is pretty much an obsession.

February 6th
Took the dogs for a walk midday and this is what February 6th looks like out there. Not exactly sunny and uplifting, but still beautiful in its own way.
February 4th
The Husband showed his nurturing side to the boys tonight. I can only guess why he chose pillows instead of blankets but I'm guessing it had to do with proximity vs. effort.
February 2nd - Super Bowl Sunday
The Seahawks crushed the Broncos. Bruno Mars stole the halftime show. And Rocky was riveted by it all.
February 1st
Well my first day of February started out with a hangover. Go Amy. Because? Vodka martinis the night before. By the time the evening rolled around, all that sounded good to me to eat was tomato soup and grilled cheese. Best meal EVAH.

I alllllmost forgot to take today's photo of gratitude. But at 11:52pm, I remembered. So I took a photo of me covered up in my fuzzy blanket here in the living room. I'm thankful for the fuzzy blanket I use evvvvery night --- and I'm also thankful I remembered to take the photo!

I'm all about the healthy cooking right now. And I'm so GRATEFUL that my heart is turning my creativity toward my cooking right now. Because it makes healthy eating so much more fun and delicious. This was last night's recipe of brown rice pasta in a Coconut Milk, sweet potato, spinach, sundried tomato, chickpea, lemon and ginger pasta. Incredible flavor that made us happy here in our little household.
January 25th
Cold day - warm sun. Movie and dinner date night to see "Saving Mr. Banks" (Hence the dolled up version of moi below). The quiet of January continues. And while I wouldn't say it'sy faaaaavorite time of year right now, it's cozy, calm and contemplative. I think you can see that in my face.
January 24th

Window Ivy
We are helping my aunt upgrade her technology and I took this photo at her house today. She has these beautiful windows facing the front yard that are covered with these vines of Ivy. I was mesmerized by how it looked against the windows from the inside today.
So many strange little lovely things to notice every day.
The Sun King
I took this photo yesterday - but forgot to post it. Probably because I was so overcome with how awesome it was to see the sun again!

Gray Day
I'm grateful for the gray days. Because they make me appreciate those gorgeous sunny days all the more.
Plus, sometimes the gray days give us permission to tuck into a bowl of soup and do a little hibernation.

Cozy
It's 7 degrees in Atlanta tonight. No "Hotlanta" to be found. So I took a hot shower and cozied up in my new fluffy, terry cloth robe with a glass of water (post workout), and cup of cocoa. Oh gratitude. Thou art grand in your simplicity tonight.
