Sharing My World This Week

What caring thing are you going to do for yourself today?

It’s Boxing Day today so apart from necessary chores I’m planning to treat myself to a lazy day. Boxing Day means eating leftovers instead of cooking and enjoying a few little treats. I will also enjoy playing with my Christmas presents. This year I have a new Barbie and vintage clothing so there will be some doll photography.

I plan to watch a bit of the Boxing Day Test Match and the start of the Sydney Hobart Race on TV and of course I will be spending a bit of time outside with Cindy while the sun is out.She has some new tennis balls and naturally she will want to try them out.

List at least five of your favourite spices? (excluding salt and pepper)

• Cinnamon
• Mixed Spice
• Nutmeg
• Ginger
• Paprika

What can you always be found with?

Sad to say the one thing I can always be found with is dog hair. No matter how much I brush Cindy, the furniture and my clothing I always seem to have some on me.

What inspired you or what did you appreciate this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

I’ve watched quite a few Christmas movies on Netflix and YouTube this month but I always save the best ones for last. The ones I find most inspirational.

• It’s a Wonderful Life
• Miracle on 34^th Street
• A Christmas Carol

I used to reread my copy of “A Christmas Carol” every year but now I’ll generally watch one of the movie versions. There have been a lot of them included animated ones and I don’t really mind which one I watch. I just love the story. I think these movies portray what Christmas is about to me.
