Sorry for the mix-up with the website. Somehow with perfect timing we let our old web address expire. It has now been corrected by my web master son, Andrew with everything set up under my name.
We had a bit of a heat wave yesterday. I was able to set out on the deck and soak up some rays from the sun. It was 40 degrees. You could hear the dripping of the water as the snow melted. It will take quite a bit of dripping before we are close to seeing anything like the ground. A sunny day sure puts a smile on your face in the middle of a long winter, though.
Pleasure in the little things….
I made myself an eggs and toast breakfast.
I helped do dishes!
I walked the stairs to the landing twice!
We all need to appreciate the little things we are able to do.
Each day we have is truly a gift and we should be grateful to have been able to live it.
I echo Bonnie’s remark. I am trying to be more positive. Or at least practice the Empirical Rule: SAY SOMETHING NICE FIRST!
Isn’t the trickling sound of snow and ice melting the sweetest sound in the whole world? I just stood there and let that sound pour down over me today as the sun beamed down. And smiled…….I never thought 41 degrees could feel so warm. ;~)
Sherri,
Courage, strength, insight, belief, faith, mother, wife, daughter, friend, incredible dreamer and visionary. You have inspired so many you have lived your life well. In honor of you my friend, “When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.” Wendell Berry
