January 2, 2024 – Magical Mystical Mimi

It’s so anti-climactic. Does anybody else feel this way?

Because I love writing prompts, my writing prompt today is…

**** “Something you’re looking forward to in the next 12 months.”

**** I am most looking forward to my oldest grandson graduating and yet, I’m not. I can’t quite connect the dots because in my mind he’s still 5 yrs. old. Can I just tell you, if I could have one superpower it would be the power to slow time. This Mimi is just not ready for this… And then next year my other grandson graduates. It’s just too much.
Rod Stewart says it best.

“… May the good Lord be with you
Down every road, you roamAnd may sunshine and happinessSurround you when you’re far from homeAnd may you grow to be proudDignified and trueAnd do unto othersAs you’d have done to you

Be courageous and be braveAnd in my heart, you’ll always stayForever young, forever youngForever young, forever young…”

AT THE CREATION STATION –

– I’m working with my watercolors.
– I started a crochet mood blanket in granny squares. You just pick the colors you want to represent your moods and crochet a granny square in that color for that day. My squares are 2 inches but your squares can be whatever size you want. There are all kinds of tutorials on YouTube.
– And last but not least. I’m working on unfinished projects from last year and the year before that and the year before that…

MY NEWS CHATTER –

I think the world is in a bad place right now and I hope we can all figure out how to get it to a good place.
In the U.S. I feel like we’ve traveled back in time and once again we’ve got a bunch of old, white men calling the shots. We need better presidential candidates on both sides.
And what is with all of these moms killing their kids??? And little kids, elementary school, shooting each other?

I hope your “ber” month holidays were good and that you all made it onto Santa’s nice list. Surprisingly, I made it. I was so bummed that we didn’t have any snow for Christmas. I mean, it’s still Christmas and that’s wonderful but the snow just makes it magical and cozy. We’re supposed to get snow this month. I’d of rather had it all last month but I’ll take it because I love snow!

How is the New Year starting out for you? All 2 days of it, I know, but hey, a lot can happen in 2 days! My wish for everyone this year is good health! I had a really bad case of Covid and thought I was going to die. It lasted weeks and it was rough. So, good health for everyone this year and all years!
