Today, I baked.
That may seem like some small feat, however, there are a couple things to consider: 1) I love to bake; and 2) I haven’t baked in years.
The reason for number two is simply that I haven’t had anyone for whom to bake. You see, I’m not the type of person who bakes so I’ll have some tasty treat to eat. Nope. I’m the type of person who bakes for the joy of it, and the added joy of sharing it with someone else.
But, now I have coworkers. They’re the perfect guinea pigs for all my confectionary delights. And it makes my heart sing. While I was whipping and mixing and measuring, I allowed myself to relax–and I mean really relax–which is something I hadn’t done in months (maybe even years) and I’m ever so grateful for it.
Here’s to more baking in the near future.
