Note to Joyce: Thank you for your dedication to the Wednesday Hodgepodge. Please don't take my cranky answers personally. xo
1. Where do you go when you need some inspiration?
Scripture. Prayer. Music. Books. Wine.
The books pictured are a small sampling. The music that inspires me ranges from John Rutter (96%) to Bing Crosby to James Taylor.
2. What's under your bed?
Not a thing, except carpet. Or is that supposed to be a metaphor?

We're in the February dreariness.
3. Thursday, February 22nd is National Chili Day, National Margarita Day, and National Cook a Sweet Potato Day. Of the three which would you most like to celebrate? Is that likely?
Who makes up this stuff anyway? I don't celebrate any of these 'national-fill-in-the-blank days,' but I would most likely bake a sweet potato. There are four of them sitting on the kitchen counter.
4. What are you 'snowed under' with right now?
Snow. Just snow. And plenty of it.
5. Tell us three to five things that make you feel balanced?
What May looks like, most years.

6. Insert your own random thought here.

Really, it's just February. In January we're still riding the wave of Christmas, and it's usually very sunny (though beastly cold). I love sunny. And in March, although it's two months yet before the flowers poke through the soil, the daylight is longer and the temps are working their way upward, which usually means the roads are clear for taking walks. There's just something so tough about getting through February. Snowy, bleak, miserable, gray February. Good thing it's the shortest month, because it seems like the longest. And I know I'm not the only one suffering from February blues. Feel free to complain in a comment. :-)
But there is one good thing about February:
