freedom!

I’m baaaaack.

Time is my greatest gift right now. Time to cook. Time to run. Time to read. Time to love on others.

Sometimes during the semester its difficult for me to spend very long over-extending myself for others. School has trained me to be rather selfish with my study time, so despite my true desire to indulge others, my efforts do not often reflect actual sacrifice.

But yeasty cinnamon rolls now mark this moment of freedom from school for me. Time to let rise and show real effort. The gift of time given to people I think are worth mine. I had a little Christmas brunch for some of my friends on Saturday morning. I had to get up early just to start these cinnamon rolls, but they are well worth every minute you devote to them.

Last Christmas, my Aunt Susie donated a kidney. She had to take off work for 8 weeks for recovery. But now that fortunate person will not have to go to a dialysis center three times a week and sit for several hours each session in order to have his blood filtered. He can have his life back. Talk about a gift of time. 

cinnamon rolls, sausage, bacon, herb roasted potatoes, fruit, mimosas, and hot toddies!
