Well, Winter Took Long Enough Get Here and  has Arrived with a Vengeance !  

There were actually snow flurries as I was taking my photos.  

I have waited a long time to debut this Liz Claiborne sweater, found here. 

The reviews on this sweater suggest sizing down and I agree as I am wearing a small and could have gone down to xs. 

My finger is healing nicely as the swelling finally went down within the last day or so. 

I will be sporting my finger brace accessory for a few more weeks.

I was freezing during this photo shoot and ran inside to make a style change more fitting for my day of

grocery shopping.  

The removal of my necklaces and addition of the chunky scarf were just what I needed. 

With these cooler temps I tend to add hats to my looks as I actually were them in real life with my coat. 

I’ve been taking a blogging break, but feeling better, so hopefully will be back to a regular schedule of posting.  

I am going to add a new feature this year called , 

Today in Self Care

Today in the interest of self care, I asked for help from my sons quite often as by using my left hand, I had strained the other fingers.  My son home from college used my slicer to slice my zucchini for my second thing in slef care for the day which was to bake my zucchini, mushroom, tomato, italian seasoning and parmesan cheese casserole.  I had a huge bowl for my dinner and ate healthy for the day!  

Gratitude

 I am gratedul that I awoke this morning to no sinus pressure and no sore throat!  

I am grateful to my sons for their help today with everything from cleaning, to cooking and even laundry. 

I am grateful to my youngest for braving the cold not just once, but twice to take my photos.  

I am grateful for a wonderful conversation with my daughter who is back in Boston.
