Sometimes You Just Have to Remind Yourself....

Dear Diary,
You know how sometimes you have to do something and you're all "but I don't want to"?
Well this weekend I did something just for the sake of doing it.  I got lost in the kitchen.  Not literally lost, I know where the kitchen is and how to get out of it, but time and the world disappeared.   I made  Italian Buttercream, cupcakes, a small layer cake that I wrapped with a chocolate cage....and at the end of the day, I was reminded why I love baking.
It's one of those things that feeds my soul.  I wasn't making it for anybody, I'm not even sure what I'll do with them now that they are done, but when I finished up yesterday I felt very accomplished and just plain happy.  It's very important to do the things we love sometimes, for no other reason than for the sake of doing it.  It reminds you what you loved about it in the first place.
Now I guess I'll go eat some cupcakes.
