Appreciate Your Blessings

 It is Thursday, February the 19th--Lopez and Lola have been out in the yard--in the dark--did their business--I am later than late , getting up here--I just did not want to crawl out of the nice warm bed--but---well, you know how it is!---One has to get on with the day--One must choose to face all the good life has in store for us--  True?
Savour each day--Find joy in what you have--If you don't use it--you lose it--The wash machine is chugging away--The bed is made  upstairs-- Sushi gets to sleep in--on it--We have day light outside--  I see that snow fell over night--  It is all over the car-AGAIN!---The cleaning Lady will be here to help me  inside here--no going out for breakfast--so cereal is on the menu--(I like cereal!)--

I found the above picture, buried in this computer--  Fred, Son#4's wife with  her daughter-- and Allison, our daughter, with Sophia, her daughter plus Emma, Son#4's younger daughter--- What a lovely picture which I do not remember seeing before---and, below,  on a snowy day, another Air Canada picture--with 'planes on the tarmac, in the snow--

and--Allison, our daughter with Sophia--now entering Kent State University, in Ohio, this fall--below--

So, stop aspiring to be anyone other than your own best self, do not let anyone intimidate you-a person cannot be totally happy or totally sad--and----

    Good Morning Lynda,
    You got more snow, oh no! It will be spring eventually, hang in there.
    I hear you, some days I would love to stay in my warm bed but then I wouldn't get all my to do things done for the day. I do allow myself to sleep in Saturday and Sunday unless I have something going on.
    It's dreary here and in the 50's here. Chance of gusty winds and rain this evening.
    Getting ready to get a workout in, breakfast, and then a nail appointment.

    Have a good day!
    Hugs,
    Jackie

    It's Kathy. We got snow yesterday too but we were really lucky. It's maybe a little better than an inch, but 20 miles south of us they got nearly 8 inches! Tom had to clerar the bottom of the driveway but there's not enough snow to clear the whole driveway. He also did Daisy path so she can go outside without getting so snowy. I love the photos, and especially the Appreciate your Blessings meme! Have a great day.

    Good morning, sis.

    The photos are great. I find it interesting that you don't remember the photo with daughter, DIL and all the baby girls. Your family has lots of them.

    We had a major blizzard overnight. It was only 2-4 inches but the wind was horrendous! The snow blew so hard that there's hardly any on the cars.

    I always appreciate the good in my life...there is SO MUCH. Also, when we note the stuff we don't want, that tells God (Source, the Law of Attraction calls 'it') what we don't want!

    I posted those memes right away. You really find good ones.

    Lucky you to have a cleaning lady come today. I could use one of those to help me with the stuff that's hard for me to do.

    I'm thinking of getting my hair cut and styled...either today or tomorrow.

    I'll get to doing now. Have a kitchen to straighten up...dishes to do, etc.

    I'll check back later, dear, to see if I can tell how your day went. Hope the snow isn't too hard to you to clear.

    {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

    I had a morning like yours yesterday! I just could not make myself get up and out of bed until about an hour later than my usual wake up time. I think my body was just tired and needed the extra rest. Then I could not fall asleep last night and laid awake for about 3 hours before finally drifting off - but I got up at my regular time this morning and don't feel tired! So weird!

    Cloudy and rainy here with possible severe thunderstorms predicted for this afternoon, so it is a good day to stay home and clean house...I don't have a housecleaner...just me, but I think about having one, but never follow through to find one....besides - what would I do if I didn't have to mop, dust, and vacuum?!! Just kidding, I am still overwhelmed trying go through the stuff the cleaning service dumped in piles and piles in boxes from the dehumidifier fire! I don't know if I will ever get through it all!

    Loved the pictures of your precious granddaughters! Thanks for sharing!

    Had a good day at work today, the new girl was off, and it was quiet, and I got to sort some rings that were just all tossed in a bag, making it hard to retrieve the correct item when needed. Work is always just disorganized, and I am an organization queen, LOL

    i'm sorry you got snow again, we're having another nice day in the 60's. The sun even popped out about a half hour ago while I was walking the dog! Tornado warnings tonight though, and rain coming, and then a colder spell on its way. But I feel cheered with the warmer temps lately, SO ready for spring. Summer, maybe not so much, but spring is welcome! :)
