therapy

Just like it says in Lamentations 3:21-23, this morning started with new mercies.

Beginning with this view:

I made it to the ocean just in time to see the sunrise.

I took a left turn on Sunset Blvd and wound my way up the mountain for a morning hike in the Palisades.

There were few people on the trail this morning. It felt like a private mountain.  It was like therapy for me, this quiet beautiful morning.  The fresh air and amazing views. 

When my therapy session was finished I took my favorite drive through Topanga Canyon home.  Later this afternoon therapy took a different form - retail therapy.  I did some more Christmas shopping, and maybe picked a few things up for myself..

This evening I took it easy, I cleaned, baked some cookies, and listened to Christmas music.

special Christmas drink made with peppermint chai and bailey's mint choc. liqueur. My Andy William's Christmas album has a fire scene to watch while you listen.

 Currently I'm watching Little Women, an old favorite.  Looking forward to next week even more!
