Anticipation

I feel good this morning. 


It could be the happy little work-out endorphins.  Or it could be this yummy piece of toast with a bit of peanut butter and sliced banana on top (oh! and my second cup of coffee to go with it.)

Maybe it's because tomorrow night I get to host the Ladies Christmas party right here at the La Vida Dulce house.  (There is nothing that makes my heart patter more than preparing for visitors.)

Maybe I feel good because last night between eight and nine we had some friends come over unexpectedly for a cup of tea and a nice chat. 

Or maybe it's because my Dad and I exchanged fun emails yesterday: him sharing fun news with me and I sharing good news with him. 

Perhaps it's because after this fun week I get to spend nine glorious days with The Mister and the kids.

I feel good, and I think I am feeling this away because of anticipation. Though my life is far from perfect, I could list a thousand imperfect reasons why I feel the way I do. Instead, let me show you some pictures:

I don't know what tomorrow will bring (or this afternoon!), but for now, I'm content. Happily (busily) anticipating, enjoying this season.

Happy Monday!

Anticipation -- what a great place to be! Is that the project your daughter did? It turned out beautifully! She should be super proud! :)

So glad you're having such a feel-good day! I'm enjoying a beautifully gloomy desert day. There's just something about being cozy'd up in the house that makes me so much more motivated to work cheerfully. Hope your lovely day continues!

Did you make that little tree-like topiary thing? LOVE THAT.

And your kids are precious. Tell me that's not a recent picture. Surely it's not that warm in NC!
