First, let me just say wow!  My apple spice cupcake post has garnered a lot of attention, the post was mentioned in a popular cupcake blog, and even garnered attention by WordPress (my blog host) in their food section.  I’m honored and a little overwhelmed.  I’m not used to getting so many visitors to this blog, thank you.

All the attention is a very uplifting thing, especially given the strange weather we’ve been having.  It’s snowing again today (after a weekend of snow and wind) and I’m tired of it.  I’m ready to start some serious planting.  However, perhaps the snow is saving me from planting in a garden where we won’t be in a few months.  There’s a potential house / property purchase in the works.  That’s all I’m going to say about that for now, I’m jaded by the whole real estate thing and I don’t want to get my hopes up too much.

Today has also been a good day because I had a wonderful massage.  Its amazing how good a body can feel after all that tension has been rubbed, pinched, and prodded out of a person’s muscles.  I adore my massage therapist too.  Her attitude and welcoming spirit is as uplifting to my soul as her massage therapy is to my body.  I love that when I get close to her office in the building she is in, I can smell all the aromatherapy oils, and as they waft their way up my nasal passages, the entire tone is set for a wonderful, relaxing, and uplifting experience.   I’m so thankful for these extravagances.  I believe a massage is so good for a healthy body, but I’m under no illusions that this is simply a luxury and I’m blessed to be able to have massages now and then.
