We must have a really nice day to-day-----because--- there is a storm brewing somewhere, due to hit us Friday and Saturday--30 to 50 cm of snow--hard to believe eh?
Somewhere between then and now, 2 of the 4 dogs, the visitors--are returning home-- to "THEIR" home! They really have been very good-- but, 4 dogs, is a lot in any house--and I'm sure they will be happy to see their caregivers.
This morning on the news, I heard of banks going under--airlines having financial problems--So, I spent time going over our finances, making sure things are paid and we will have enough $$$ to eat--I never ever used to worry about that-- Things seem all on the positive side--Praise the Lord! --But, I still worry--We need to live on a smaller scale--which, hopefully will happen soon! ---The last few years have been different-- the Pandemic----- the numerous vaccines, the high cost of just living, Himself not his usual self--(but much better than he was at first as I have adjusted)--getting used to doing everything--like "blowing snow"-- Did you ever think how our lives have changed?---- a war in Ukraine--to top it all off---- It seems like I could go on and on--
But---- You know what?--- We are alive--- We must be strong --all of us, to cope with everyday--and we are!--- Do you ever just stop and think about all this?--
So, my message to-day is to "keep going on"----
Life is too short to be anything but happy---- Let go of what you can't change--Love truly---Great advice isn't it--- and we must be doing all the above, because we are still here, aren't we?---
Ohhhhhh my goodness. 30-50 cm of snow. Definitely NOT welcome. AT least you’ll be down to 2 dogs, and Sushi!
ReplyDeleteYes, as we age, our abilities and needs change. Hard to adapt sometimes, but doing our best.
Yes, so many things happening w/the bank failures, pandemic, weather, living costs. YIKES. Need to get in my Zen place sometimes just to get away from it all!
Indeed, we DO live through it! Praise be. Staying strong.
Hugs and peace

Yes Barb--- Good thing wee don't worry eh?--LOLOL-- Lynda
DeleteDog sitting my sons dog also, but with my 2 that makes 3. One of my dogs,a chewinnie, is overpowered by the 2 big dogs, but she refuses to give in. My neighbor says the chewinnie is a tom boy holding her own. Since I also babysit my 14 month old granddaughter, I know how you feel with a full house. You are one strong woman braving it all. Wish I had your strength as I’m complaining without the added stress of snow and himself. Hope Spring arrives soon for you!
ReplyDelete3 dogs are a lot ---- 4 dogs are a lot--LOL--I too am looking forward too them going home- but , they were good-- just lot of hair--- snow heading this way again -Lynda
DeleteCarl's gone home, the cats are back "in charge" and I'm playing the recover from all the excitement game. The older we get the more of these things we have "survived", and hopefully that means we know what's really important and we don't panic as much as we might have back when we were in our twenties, eh?
ReplyDeleteSending hopes for Spring's arrival, and soon, even in the North!
Yes Barb-- Our extra animals I hope, go home too-morrow--Storm here- Friday--won't Spring feel good?
DeleteLynda
Lynda, you always remind us to be strong. Yet while mentioning the challenges, you focus on the positive....the good stuff. I agree.
ReplyDeleteHave the ladies rescheduled? Did you really find a house?
I am happy Himself is better.
You will have less chaos soon with extra dogs going home.
We are due for another winter storm...up to 7 more inches. Just when everything had started to melt.
We will survive! {{{HUGS}}}
Yes, I must stay strong--WE ALL MUST BE STRONG- The excess-dogs go to-morrow -- good!-That storm comes here Friday and Saturday-Lynda
DeleteI sure do hope the extra dogs go home soon. They are a lot for you to handle on top of your other many tasks.
ReplyDeleteI love your positive attitude. We can not control nor change others and so much is out of our control. Stay strong.
Hoping your snow does not appear.
Play your piano.
Hugs
It will be wonderful to return the extra dogs--but--they have bean good--not Lopez tho-Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. Yes, life has surely changed. We are having a rather warm day today I can hear all the snow melting on the roof. But more snow is coming - maybe rain/snow mix by tomorrow. I'm glad I can stay home all day tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI think that storm will be worse on Friday--here--- Lynda
DeleteAnother 30 - 50 cm? Gosh you guys have really had it this year. Was everyone nasty to mother nature? Ask you son to come and help with the snow - it is too much for you too do it all. And the pilot has gone from warm weather to the snow - how far is his cottage from you guys. Glad the other 2 dogs will be going him soon. I'm sure Lopez and Beau will be happy about that. Apparently our banking system is totally different to the American system so we supposedly don't need to worry about what is happening. Just stay strong and don't worry about it. Like your last couple of memes. Relax tonight.
ReplyDeleteHis cottage is near Kingston-- We are quite far from there-up n north--Lynda
DeleteYou are so right when you say life is too short to be anything but happy. These last few years have brought things that I never expected to see but we are strong and can deal with them. I can't imagine that you are getting that much snow again. Hopefully you will get some help from your son. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh I hope the boys will help me--- Lynda
DeleteWill be missing on here for a few days...had a stress test today, hospital friday for a heart cath....I'll catch up when I get home.
ReplyDeleteDarlene --I hope all goes \well--Good for yu go get a stress test--=I hope all goes well-Lynda
DeleteSame here with the weather. We've been in the 60's and even hit 70 today, but by tomorrow morning it'll be 32 and snowing. Mother Nature is making sure to remind us that it's still winter.
ReplyDeletePaula--A good way to look at it--Lynda
DeleteHope your weekend storms are not too bad! We have severe weather due in the morning, with huge hail is the main issue. Take care.
ReplyDeleteso far=== only freezing rain--(This is to-morrow--ha ha)_Lnda
