go out. Hey may the best team win. ✨

Good afternoon in frigid Oz.🥶 We will be getting colder by Monday but not 0 like you.

I have the pork and sauerkraut cooking for dinner. I do my kraut a little different – slow fry in butter with onions, mushrooms and about a tablespoon of sugar – it is yummy!😊

Took it easy today except for the cooking. May as well relax to start the year on a good note.😀 Sending love and warm hugs to you and Poppy.🥰🤗

Good Afternoon Sheba, Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I hope you are keeping warm, old man winter is being brutal in many parts of the country.
The crackers turned out very good. I still have a batch of dough in the fridge. Next time I roll it out I’ll make it a little more thin and smaller. I wanted to save time and made it larger.
Today I am making a bolognese sauce. Not using it today, to much left overs. Going to freezer in 3 or 4 containers to use in future meals. The fireworks yesterday was very pretty but so very noisy. Our community has alot of dogs, my next door neighbor too. I felt sorry for all those dogs and cats. Stay warm Sheba, keep Poppy warm and have a great weekend.
Take Care.

The Bailey’s sounds scrumptious, I am sure you and your husband enjoyed it.
The wine was delicious, I poured myself half a glass. And the crackers turned out very good.
Enjoy your weekend🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Performing Daily Ceremony

Having daily ritual or ceremony in our lives is very important to keep us connected to what really matters.

When we perform or participate in rituals and ceremonies, we enter into a state of mind that is different from mundane consciousness. Ranging in significance from bedtime stories to weddings, ceremonies and rituals are acknowledgments that an event or period of time has special meaning. As a result, they can have the effect of drawing us into the moment, inviting us to pay closer attention and tune into the subtle energies that are always present but that often go unrecognized. In addition, as we perform the same actions we have performed before and will perform again, we immerse ourselves in a river of continuity that extends back into the past and forward into the future.

Many of us have distanced ourselves from rituals that may have seemed too constricting or too attached to an organized religion we have chosen not to follow. However, we can reclaim the practices of ceremony and ritual to good effect, imbuing them with our new consciousness, and we do not have to wait for a big event to do it. We can engage in daily practices that include ritual and ceremony, reminding ourselves throughout the day of the sacredness of this life. In fact, if we look closely, we will see that our days are already made up of rituals, from the time we wake up to the time we retire. So we do not need to change anything except our perspective to imbue our day with an air of ceremony.

Most of our daily rituals revolve around nourishing and cleansing, both of which have always been sacred acts. With this in mind, we may pause before each meal, close our eyes, and say a silent thank you to the universe that provides. If we want to get more elaborate, we can light candles or bless our food. Similarly, as we wash ourselves in the morning and evening, we can choose to see the grace in this act of cleansing and purification as we release what has past and prepare ourselves for the new. We can be as simple or as complex as we like, so long as our attitude is one of reverence for this sacred moment in this sacred life. ✨✨✨
