Oh bollocks! There has been ONE tv programme I've wanted to see all week and it started forty minutes ago. Fume! The perils of the internet, smh...

No matter how small, GingerMay?

Personally I'd have thought not being stuck without light or heat in a blizzard is quite a biggish blessing, as they go. Glad the power weathered the storm, anyway :)

I am concerned about my knees this past year, in pain. No worries.

But every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb. We will have a new set of knee at that time, I am thinking.

Mindfulness. Mindful to pull back when my thoughts wander down the dark road of despair, and not get carried away with all the horrible "what if's" that may never become reality. Mindful to recognize the good stuff no matter how small... didn't lose power in the snowstorm, a nice man held a door open for me, the mechanic actually fixed my car.

Oh dear......just when I am at my wits end with dH, turns out he was getting sick, and hiding if from me.
A migraine and sinus infection, with few outward symptoms.

Brain fart day here.. both mom and I had an eye dr apt,, hers at 845 and mine at 9.. which somehow I interpreted at 945 and 10... and I was insistant to the dr office that was our times.. oh boy! But it was a slow day, and they graciously got us done. Upon our return.. I checked the cards.. opps! Even hubs said,, ugh, I think you were late! My brain is starting to go now too!

After a sleepless night and returning to sleep @ 7:30 a.m.,
my dH had set an alarm for 8:30 a.m., he says it was to call his chiropractor.
He did not call his chiropractor, and came right back to bed.
Now I am tired, skipping heartbeats, almost noon, as his non-sensical,
non-schedule schedule interferes with mine.

H2O, enough sleep, exercise, good quality food, socializing. I know a lot of people do this automatically, but I find it a struggle especially during and after dealing with yet another health crisis. After that all I want is to escape and watch Netflix, isolate, eat comfort food and drink tons of coffee to make up for my exhaustion.

But it's a recipe for double exhaustion. I am resisting the urge. Off to fill up my water bottle and ignore my coffee stash. I'll take walk here as it's a beautiful day and then more learning to love all those fruits and veg : )

On my mind today? Self care.
Eating more fruits and veggies to nourish my body.
Just decided I'm taking that vacation I've been putting off.
Stepping outside each day to breath fresh air and be still for a couple minutes even though I have to bundle up in 3 layers.

MAYBE Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store...
MAYBE Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more...'

Blessings of Christmas Past, Present and Future.
May we remember, treasure and empathize with those less fortunate.
May we all take at least one moment this holiday season for ourselves.
May we reflect on our Blessings, Strengths, and Achievements this past year through His Grace.
May we find Peace, Love and Hope as we journey into this New Year.

Blessed Be.

CM, I do a similar potato/leek soup except my recipe calls for chicken broth instead of water. I like that it ends up kind of creamy without milk or cream.

CountryMouse - just an update that I made the potato soup last weekend. It was great and smelled terrific too with the leaks. The ultimate comfort food. Thanks again.

My landline quit working this week, but my internet connected to the landline still worked. Weird?!?  After 3 days, the technician got my landline fixed...now the robocalls can start calling me again.

When I have to leave my cats alone for a couple of days, a good friend stops by once a day to feed them and change the water.  When I lived in the "BIG CITY", I hired a professional & bonded Pet Sitter.  A little expensive, but worth it as I could relax while on a long vacation.

Ginger, there's also the Red Scarf Project, which helps kids who were in foster care but are over 18. Scarves are a really good first project.

Linda, Smeshque - thanks for the idea. I had wondered about giving to charity, but thought nobody would take a somewhat personal handmade item of unknown origin. Guess I'll look into it now. Thanks!

A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.

GingerMay, if you'd like to take up knitting, there are quite a few interesting charity knitting groups. Hats for preemies, socks for soldiers, Linus blankets -

My little Jitterbug shakes so much it sounds tinny and cuts in and out just when it is ringing.
If cell phones could think, it would be saying:
"I hope she doesn't throw me out the window....I know she wants to."
And:
"You should hear what she says after hanging up" "I will get her back and not end the call so others can hear".

Not to anthropomorphize the little cell, maybe they really do think, talk, etc. CM?
Is the little thing coming by boat this time?
Congrats on your new I-phone. Did you and MsMadge shop together?

Well, I've done it now...

Somewhere far away on a shelf in a warehouse there is a line of iPhones waiting to be picked and packed, and one of them should be shaking in its little shoes because it is going to be mine come Saturday afternoon.

"I wonder if my owner will be kind to me?" it is thinking. Poor little devil.
