Today is officially the first day of winter. I love the LOOK of winter, but it’s not my favorite season to actually LIVE in. My favorite is spring, when I can put new plants in and things I planted before are spearing up out of the ground. I’m thankful I have a warm home to hole up in while I wait for the weather to become more to my liking. :0)

Today is forecast to stay cold – fitting for the first day of winter – it’s 29 degrees F. now and isn’t supposed to warm up much. It’s supposed to be warmer tomorrow, and I’ll try to use that opportunity to try to finish getting things ready for winter in our yard.

Karin’s art work never fails to make me smile. No matter what is going on in my world, I find another of her creations and a smile comes bubbling right out of me. You can SEE the joy. HEAR the laughs. FEEL the hugs. I love it.

I’m feeling old and creaky this morning, sore from my exercising. That tells me that I’m finally getting this body’s attention, and that’s a very good thing. Today I’ll continue to do my sessions of exercises with weights in-between blog posts, but I’ll ease up a bit, trying to loosen up. I’ll do the best I can on the chair exercises, too, although I’m REALLY feeling those. And the yoga this afternoon will give me a chance to stretch out and loosen up the rest of me. It’s getting to be a full-time occupation to keep this body going!

I just went into the kitchen and a wafting breeze made Amber hair swirl around. I just vacuumed! ARRRRGH! Guess who will do that again today… It’s not good to even think about shaving a dog in the winter, is it?

I hope your holiday plans are coming together. After going to Walmart yesterday, we’ve decided to ‘do without’ until everyone finishes bringing their Christmas presents there to exchange after the holidays. :0)

Enjoy your day. Remember to BREATHE and take some time to RELAX.
