Snow day adventures.

The day started off with a Ta Da! List...as opposed to a To Do List. I think it was a happiness hack on the Happier Podcast with Gretchen Rubin and Elizabeth Craft.  

The list was crafted last night on the back of a page from my page-a-day happiness calendar.  

Let me just tell you the day has gone rather well.  

The french press coffee was the perfect beginning to the day, especially paired with two books.  

While I read, this was in the oven.  

With snow falling, but not clinging to sidewalks or the road, I went with a 4 mile run instead of cross country skiing.  

When I got back, I refueled at Dunkin with my snow day donut crew.  

As you can see, that's when the snow really started coming down.  It was like an instant snow day!  

After a hot shower and some more reading time, I made some lunch. 

Grilled cheese, tomato soup & tater tots.  

Grilled cheese on freshly baked bread is a game changer, folks.  It was amazing.  With homemade tomato soup, it was hard to figure out which bite would be last.   I'm the person who likes to save the best bite for last.  Truth: It was the grilled cheese cleaning up the last of the soup in the bowl!  Boom!

I have done a few loads of laundry...and have worked on the youth led worship script.  So, yeah, today has become a Ta Da! kind of day.  

Oh, and the second batch of soup is on the stove simmering for dinner.  That's the refrigerator soup.  Sausage, kale, cannelleni beans, sweet potatoes, carrots and diced tomatoes.  That'll feed the guy who needed to be at work all day.   

I hope your day was filled with  more Ta Das! than To Dos.  

Until the next post, be well.
