Up here in the Pacific Northwest it is dark. Sometimes I need to remember what is saving me. I am linking up with
Modern Mrs Darcy. Check out what is saving everyone else.
Cookie Stockpile
I think I have listed this almost every other time on "What is Saving Me." I remember sitting at a MOPS (mother of preschoolers) presentation by Lindsay Ahrens. Lindsay has a cookbook called
Fix Freeze Feast with Kati Neville. Lindsay was saying how having freezer meals allowed to extend her hospitality. This month I was able to contribute cookies to a funeral because I had a stockpile of frozen cookie dough. It was easy to extend my hospitality.
Piano
I purchased an electric keyboard from COSTCO. I have been wanting a piano for a long time. I just couldn't pull the trigger. I took lessons for like 12 years but after I left High School I basically quit playing. I was amazed how much has come back to me. I find playing super relaxing. I basically have been playing a little bit each day.
Preschool Art

Printmaking with Cds |
I like to be creative but I am not an artist. I have been doing some preschool art projects and I find it is good low entry way to stretch my creative muscles. I am only doing it for my own satisfaction. That is such a luxury and so freeing. Is that considered Art Therapy?
Decluttering Challenge
I am partcipating on a online challenge at
Creating Mary's Home. I am amazed at how much I have gotten rid of . It is nice to have some guidelines on how to do this. It is also holding me accountable. This is a 90 day challenge
