Family recipes.

I was looking for a recipe for dinner tonight. As I was looking I fould some recipes our church ladies had put together for some Christmas event many moons ago. The recipe my mom contributed said, "Every year around the holidays I make fudge nut bars..." I'm glad I have this recipe. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. What a celebration of Christ's birth. My heart smiles thinking of all the sweet Christmas celebrations my family has had.

It's one good thing.

One Good Thing

I have a confession to make. For about a year I have been suffering from depression. Just naming the darkness in my life gives me some relief.

I wanted to do something to boost my joy levels, so I am committing myself to naming one good thing that happens each day. It might be something that makes me smile or is a happy thought. Maybe something I'm thankful for, but I am going to write about one good thing.
