"Only YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR HAPPINESS"

 -A brand new month--WooWoo!  It is the 32nd day of the year--333 days remaining until the end of this year--AND---- WE ARE ALIVE! ---the very most special part of to-day!

I have heard from son #2, the air Canada Pilot-- He says it is colder   at his cottage, where they are, than here--minus 24C  there!--- Our daughter in Ohio has called also--says she has been out  and it is cold there--

But the "cold" is not the only reason why February is so special, -or so  terribly cold-- It is  known as National Freedom Day --freedom from slavery---(so I read!)- 

February is special to me, because it is my sister's Birthday this month-It is also special because there are fewer than 30 days in February--one less day of winter!  But, next year, 2024, will be a Leap year, so there will be 29 days--one more cold day-

-anyway,  there are 8 more reasons that this month will be fun--

#1.  There will be a Fun Food Day--

#2. Ground Hog Day is Feb 2nd--- (and he will predict SPRING!

#3. Valentine's Day, Feb 14th-- a day to express your love-

#4. President's Day  is the 3rd Monday--in the U.S. We have "Family Day" in Canada--A long weekend-

#5. It's American Heart Month and Black History Month

#6.  Feb 17th- Random Acts of Kindness Day-(I like that!)

#7. Feb 29th-- celebrate Leap Year

#8, You are  Lucky if you were born in Feb.--  with the colour purple and  the birthstone is  the amethyst , known for spiritual protection and their healing powers

My advice----"-JUST BE YOURSELF"----don't allow the  crazies to get you down--It is another extremely cold day here outside , and I can feel the cold coming in the walls--- We had to keep the kitchen tap dripping slightly so nothing would freeze-

-Wee little Lopez was kinda crying about 4am , in his crate beside my bed, snd when I turned on the bedside light, he had no covers on--so, I covered him all up and patted him and said, "Now yu go to sleep"--- AND HE DID--till 5-30am-- his magic wake -up time!- I could tell it was a cold night too,  outside, as Sushi, the cat who came in from the cold, many years ago, jumped up on our bed, and crawled across Himself, and plunked herself on my chest , purring, to be patted and warmed up--

No wonder I need a nap every afternoon eh?----

--7 Rules Of Life----

 #1-LET it go

#2.---Ignore Them

#3--Give it time-- and there is a STAY CALM---and more--

I have pasted these in front of my glasses ---  and in my  head---I do like #6 also--
