On Monday morning I was getting ready for work, which isn’t anything unusual.  What was unusual was that I walked into the studio to feed the deer mice and had the sudden realization, “Wow, I’ve really accomplished a lot in here!”  Finally, a spontaneous feeling that isn’t depressing!

Even better, comparing things this year with the same time last year (Christmas prep time) shows the same level of improvement in the kitchen, too!  I’m liking this!

Comparing this year with the same time last year also shows a lot of other huge improvements in so many ways.  It’s been an amazing year, and what’s ahead promises to be equally amazing.

To all my wonderful supporters:

Happy Chanukkah

Blessed Solstice

Happy Yalda

Merry Christmas

Joyous Kwanzaa

and all my best wishes in anything else you celebrate that I may have missed.  You are the best of friends, and I couldn’t have gotten nearly as far, or done it nearly as smoothly, without you.  THANK YOU!!
