new shelf sitter penguin design cut and assembled — it’s cute but needs some changes in the file
quiet day overall – no nap, but I did relax for a little while with a book
Great family news: a nephew and his wife are expecting their first baby – we have a new grandma in the family!

Despite lots of loss around the holidays, there are always a few marvelous memories that pop up to bring light to my heart.

My Journey Notes:
Still have a croaky voice – hoping I get my old voice back sooner rather than later. It would be nice to be able to talk above a whisper again. Lists still my biggest aid. Grateful for those simple slips of paper and check marks that show progress each and every day and keep me on track.
A personal calendar for next year is printed. Trying to decide if keeping a separate planner (with calendar and notes) is necessary or if I should just do a journal type of entry for 2026. Need to make that decision this weekend. I have an undated printable option on the computer, so I might revisit that over the weekend to see if it is still a viable option or if I should just go and purchase a new option at the store.
