I try to theme my posts here and Mondays are the first day of the work week so my theme has been firsts. But in a first for me, I have nothing today. Nothing is jumping out at me as a first in history, nothing is happening that is a first for me and really, I’m just a little out of sorts today.

So how about some random thoughts?
- I’m planning to get outside and walk today for the first time since Thanksgiving. Maybe that’s why I’m out of sorts? I haven’t had any real exercise in 2 weeks!
- I have a new recipe for Christmas this year that seems to be a hit with my former co-workers judging by their reaction to trying them on Friday, Want to try yourself? Put mini Nilla wafers flat side up on a cookie sheet. Top with a Rolo candy and put into a 250 degree oven for 2-3 minutes. Take out of the oven and top with another Nilla wafer squishing down to make a little sandwich. Allow to cool completely and dip in chocolate. I’m told it tastes like a Twix – but I don’t like caramel so I’ll never know!
- On this date in 1948, the first woman US army officer not in the medical corps was sworn in. That’s a good first!
- Just tried an online random thought generator – I got this: Don’t let anyone ever dull your sparkle. Words to live by! And maybe exactly what I needed this morning.
