A combination of None Else and Mr. Pipes has been helping me think more about who God is and to praise Him; the hymns even find their way into my prayers.
I saw the dentist because of concerns about a couple teeth. He said that there's no signs of decay and it may just be a slight shift in my teeth affecting my bite; since it doesn't really hurt, we can leave it for now. I'll get a cleaning done next week (it's been a few years because of not having insurance) and that may help things too.
One little habit I've started this month is afternoon tea or coffee time. It's a little thing, but somewhere between 3:00 and 3:30, when I'm home, I stop everything, make some tea or coffee (in the nice mugs) and a little snack (on the nice plates) and enjoy about 30 minutes of quiet time. Sometimes I use it to muse about things; often I use it to read a bit of something light and enjoyable. It's just nice and then I get back to whatever needs doing.
The snow over the past few days has been very pretty. I love the way it coats the tree branches and makes everything look clean for a while.
All of the new recipes I tried this month turned out very good. I would make them all again.
The cleaning and organizing and purging is done and things look tidier (especially the bedroom where mess tends to accumulate). It was helped by replacing the old rickety bookcases with the nice white ones that the church was getting rid of.
It's been a good month. It's been a good start to the new year.
