Darlene Awalt: I Celebrate You, Mom
 |
| This month was a little harder for me. I used the Hot Chocolate and words Comfort Foods to come up with a gratitude poem in honor of my mom. My mom would have been married 61 years on the 14th of February. She passed away from Alzheimer's 12 February 2017. I try to do something special in honour of her by volunteering at the Seniors Home and walking the beach collecting glass. |

| I like tea, but it's not something I look to for comfort. But I have to say this green teapot has been a constant companion all winter. It has seen me through 2 colds and chilly days when the only way I could get warm was to have another cup of tea. So, in a way it was a comfort. Of course, I took my inspiration from "Hot Chocolate" but there's a bit of a nod to "Roundabout" too. |

When I think of comfort food in February, I think of a nice big bowl of homemade soup which makes me think of my favourite spoon. This single vintage spoon was a gift given to me at a Christmas exchange a few years ago. I think it's one of the simplest, probably the least expensive, most useful things I've ever received as a gift. It's not fancy but it just seems to be the perfect weight and size.
Do you have a favourite spoon?

| There is something soothing about the thought of afternoon tea. Shouldn't we all treat ourselves to the slow comfort of tea brewed in a teapot and poured into china teacups? Add a friend to share it with, perhaps a cozy chat in a special place where contentment grows and friendship strengthens. |

| I've tried doing a lot of hobbies... I did woodworking for a bit... then DIY home decor... tried my hand at baking... Then I asked my mother-in-law-painter-friend to teach me how to paint. Boy, am I glad! I think I've settled on a good hobby! And, I'm glad I tried baking too, otherwise I wouldn't have had such a beautiful cupcake to paint to go along with a great mug of hot chocolate! |
