Sweet Indigo Girl....


*photo originally uploaded to photobucket by lidiya08


Another of those early morning wakings...but nothing on my mind that's troubling me or preventing me from sleeping. I think it was hunger that woke me so rather than stay where I was, I grabbed my favourite long sweater and my leopard print fuzzy slippers and headed down to the kitchen for some cereal and coffee.  Wrote a few emails, read a few blogs, checked out my etsy shop (my sale went very well and thank you to those who made purchases...I hope my work makes you happy, as happy as it makes me when I'm creating) and now I'm thinking about crawling back into my bed perhaps to sleep for another few hours before getting on with my day.  Today is the day we purchase our Christmas tree and do the decorating and get into the spirit.

While I was blog reading, I came across Gillian's post from last night, early this morning and it filled me with joy and hope and possibility.  I love it when others make lists of any kind.  This list of Gillian's is a keeper and something to live by.  Please click on the link to Sweet Indigo Life to see why.

(Checked out Gillian's list - it's definitely a keeper.)

So connected you and I ! I have been having those wake up early mornings for about a week. Wide awake in the darkness - not worrying or anxious, just awake !
Went back to bed this morning and slept until 9:00. Nice lie in and much needed !
We are going to get the tree today too ! I am on the fence about it this year but it is important to David so we are going to do it. I am sure once I have it up and the fragrance fill the livingroom, I will be so glad !
Enjoy the decking of the halls when you get up, Lovely Sherry !
Love you !

Oh My God ! Just went to Gillian's blog. I love love love her !!!! What a list to live by.
Thank you for another gift from you, my amazing brilliant friend !

Gillian said...

I'm only waiting on the photograph to be printed...and your package will be off! With wings! Flapping madly over to your dwelling.
Thanks for liking my list. I like "chunks" of information...and am much better at writing that way then fashioning some story...I suppose it is my straight-to-the-point nature. But I am thrilled that you liked it. You are entirely too sweet!
Love you xoxo
