I think this year I'm a little more conscious of hobbies and loving what I love. Like all-day Ultimate tournaments where you get hit by the disc but catch it anyway, or make that perfect cut to catch one in the end zone. Then taking a bubble bath when you finally, finally get home, soaking your hurts-to-move legs in the warm water while the berry-scented foam makes fizzle sounds around you. Sitting as long as you want in the tub because why not? We should take more bubble baths.
Hobbies like baking, and baking just because I want to, not because I'm meeting with hungry college students later. Baking a perfect, and I mean perfect!, batch of white-chocolate-cranberry cookies with white chocolate drizzled on top. Yes, drizzled--this is a real nice batch, not just a last-minute brownie batch thrown in the oven. I like baking just because, baking simply because I feel like it. I like looking at these batch of cookies and deciding who I want to gift this homemade goodness to, and how many I can eat for myself! And I like thinking, you know what--I think I'm going to bake another batch over the weekend.
I think I'm noticing things like these because (1) I have been recognizing the need to enjoy hobbies and do life-giving activities, and (2) maybe I don't do them enough...
