Bye, Bye 2018

2018(1)

Well, here it is, friends! The end of 2018 has arrived. When January rolled around about 364 days ago I envisioned a much different post than this one.

As I sit here writing this post and sipping coffee, I can see little lights on the tree reminding me what season is here. I can also see my cat sitting under the tree, which I believe he waits to do for 300+ days each year. It's his favorite place. My favorite place to be cozy is not under the tree ironically, but under a soft blanket sitting on ... Continue Reading...
