I’ve come to sing you a song called December. Ryan Murphy, Down with the Ship
Last year really cemented these “Looking Back” posts and I love how they can change my feelings on the month! I love looking back at the photos and videos I captured to remember the days and rediscovering moments I forgot! Recently Mary looked back on her word for 2019 with some really wonderful questions! I am going to borrow that idea with the hope that it makes my memories richer.
The Best Part of the Month included Christmas decorations with all the memories attached to them and the joy of making for others! AND seeing Genevieve all “decked out” in her hand knits made me laugh right out loud! Finally, there were quiet times at home with good food, a beverage, and conversation – there were an abundance of those days in December!
There was Something New this month – we visited Spoonwood Brewing Co. for my birthday and discovered a place that will want to revisit (and we did the next day to insure that we will with their Growler Club!) The beers and the food were fabulous!
Best “Oh Wow” Moment/s Those December Skies were just so amazing, broody, and stunning!
What I did Well and What I can do Better is an easy one – I started the month strong with moving and getting outdoors for a nice invigorating walk, but that train derailed just before Christmas when a really un-lovely stomach bug attacked! Then I found excuse after excuse to keep that train derailed – but today I am putting it back on track!
Thank you for joining me in my look back at December!
I love clicking through your December photos! You’ve got everything – nature, food, beer, Sherman, and Genevieve! It seems normal to get a bit off track during the holidays, but hooray for getting back on track!
I always love looking at your photos for the month Kat. As Bonny says, December has EVERYTHING!! I know all about derailed trains. I had hoped to walk this weekend, but the weather was such that it was very easy to just say no. I need to turn that around and just say Yes!
I am sorry to hear you got sick right before Christmas — that has to be the worst time to get sick! I hope you were well enough to enjoy the holiday.
I, too, need to get back on track with my movement and my diet. Though I was out walking or running most days while we were away, I indulged quite a bit in alcohol and sweets, so I need to get back to more fruit and vegetables and whole grains!
how fun you found a new spot to hang out and socialize. I kept up with my exercising however I have some heel pain that is trying to unseat my works. I am wearing squishier shoes and winning the war.
I like how you categorized the month in this post, I may have to steal that myself for my monthly photo and video updates.
Great look-back, Kat! And so glad to hear you’re getting that train back on the tracks. (It’s so easy to leave the rails during the holidays. . . ) XO
So many great things in December! Glad to hear you’re back on track…it’s important! 🙂
oh I love a moody, broody sky! and wow for capturing that cardinal on video 🙂 Very cool y’all joined the growler club – I’ve heard about such a thing but have yet to actually see IRL. enjoy for me, will ya?!
What a lovely post! Thanks for putting this post together. And excellent work getting back on track with getting outside. I wish I could find some motivation to do the same!
I love your video clips of the month. This month’s music was so pretty, just right for December. Sherman is quite the guy! I hope you are feeling better and back to walking. We have had some stellar dry days recently so I have enjoyed my walks. I loved the skies and the birds too.
Love how winter-y December looks. Here’s to moving more in 2020 [and no stomach bugs]
