Well, I was hoping for better times in 2021, and I know it’s only April, but I'm gonna call it. So far, it's been a pretty crap year.
⠀
My mom had back surgery and ended up in rehab. You get the picture. The only visitation allowed was Mom separated from us by her room window like she was in a fish bowl while we stood outside. We talked to her by phone. Damn Covid.
⠀
My dog died in January, and the new puppy has made for some challenging sleeping patterns. Being sleep deprived combined with a busy work schedule has been messing with any efforts to remain positive. My running has certainly been suffering, and I haven’t written a word lately, but I’m still here, despite my lack of blog posts and media presence, trying to get the words down, trying to get the miles in, . . . still chasing the sun.

“You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you

“You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason.”― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

So I'm on a Hemingway kick the last few days and found a Kindle copy of this on Amazon for $3.00! Anybody read it yet? Can't wait to get into it. 😁📚📝😍

There is a bit of magic to baking, the process of adding and sifting ingredients, the satisfaction of watching the paddle go round and round in the mixing bowl, the scent of vanilla and sugar as calming as the chocolate chips you sample, now melting on your tongue that provides solace.
⠀
The giving of baked goods is the best part, gifts of goodwill, welcome, congratulations, or get well and please come home, the gifting an essential part of the cookies, cakes, or pies, a crucial component that comes from the heart, the real magic of baking. 👩‍🍳♥️🍪
