@Sheba,
Top of the morning to you too! 😀 What a darling kitty! I love the horses you’ve been posting too and the Julie Andrews song. I love that movie “Sound of Music”. Such brave people living through that horrible time.
I am loving the Sporto boots TS. Deciding on whether to get black or brown. Cherie said she got the black. Are you getting them?
I’m so tired today as I got maybe an hour of sleep last night, tossing and turning, too hot. I hope I can sleep tonight. Did you sleep ok? I hope you are doing better today. I know it is a very sad and difficult time for you.
I was just eating an orange and Jonnie is with me wanting some. I put a piece on the plate for her. I know she won’t eat it but she likes to be included. She is so funny! 😀
I’m watching Perry Mason and then I must go work on the tree trimming. How is your house coming along? I bet it’s beautiful!
I hope you have a good day doing whatever you need to do so that it’s good! 😀 Still sending hugs and prayers…

edit: Sorry I am out of place. I thought I had hit the reply button but must have gone to bottom of page. I thought this was going under the kitten picture you left for me.

How are you holding up? So much for you. Too much. Yes, there can be too much. Not good for the health.

Meanwhile…..we have been watching the weather closely. We know people who are stuck wherever they went. Even driving to the store is a terrific chore. At times like this it would be tempting to order those boxes which you prepare. My SIL ordered a couple of those. It took her an hour to prep the ingredients. Meanwhile, I have a shortcut cookbook coming from David Venable of QVC. We shall see.

The weather is supposed to get cool tonight. It may drop into the 40s. Do not kill me. It climbs during the day. Just got back from a high 60s three-mile walk. Heavenly. Yesterday, elliptical. Trying, fighting, hoping to get in shape.

Hoping hoping hoping❤️🐶❤️

It’s here in OZ!

My Favorite Things
Julie Andrews

Raindrops on roses
And whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells
And schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

@pookie123,

I want to say Happy Holidays to you and your aunt. Blessings.

@bichon18,

I am wishing you and Jerry a great day. 🙂 Thank you for everything Amy. Next week
will be an interesting week for you. ♥

This is what it is like to be free. ♥

Calling On Friends

When we include our friends in the full story of our life, we build authentic relationships in which we can be who we truly are.

When we are going through a difficult time, we may hesitate to call even our best friends because we don’t want to burden them with our troubles. This can be especially true if we’ve been going through a series of challenges, and we’re starting to feel as if we sound like a broken record. It is important to remember that at times like these our friends sincerely want to be there for us whenever they can. We can always check with them to make sure it’s a good time for them before we start talking, and if it’s not a good time, we can call back at another time, or call another friend.

We know for ourselves that when we have a good friend, we don’t want them to suffer alone when we are just a phone call away. We want them to call us and share their sorrows with us, as well as their joys, because this is what sharing a life through friendship is about. It is at our lowest points that we really need to rely on our friends without worrying that we are a burden. If you are feeling self-conscious about having a tough time, you can bring this fact into the conversation by acknowledging it. Chances are your friend will reassure you that she is happy to be there for you. In fact, rather than feeling taxed, most of us feel better when we have helped a friend simply by listening empathically while they share their feelings.

Without our friends, we would be hard pressed to get through the tough times and celebrate the good ones. If we leave our friends out of our process when the going gets tough, our friendships can begin to feel shallow. On the other hand, when we include our friends in the full story of our life–the good, the bad, and the ugly–we build authentic relationships in which we can be who we truly are. When we do this, we invite our friends to bring their whole selves to the relationship as well.

@kittengirl,

Top of the morning to you have a great day. I know you are looking forward to your
grandson tomorrow. 🙂 Have fun. Glad the skies are clearer for you.

@loaf,

I am drinking the Andrew Lessman Marine Collagen Peptides right now. I just
pour a cold glass of water and mix. I don’t think I have ever mixed with anything.
I may try it with coffee. ♥ I can honestly say it works for me. How are the grandkids and
MIL? So our snow is coming your way. Loaf get extra food and logs for the fire. I would
grab a good book and have plenty of music. The snow is beautiful as long as you don’t
have to drive out in it. Be careful walking to your car and shopping. A good Sporto Boot
will solve that problem.
xoxo,

This is what popped into my head. 🙂 I love horses. ♥

Cherie,

Good Morning to you. I gave you coffee yesterday but today here is your normal morning
smoothie. 🙂

Thank you so much for being here with me I do appreciate it. I am doing better I know
she is not in pain. I feel for her kids. The family said she wanted to be near her son who
was killed on his bike at a young age. I will try not to bring it up so much. You are never
prepared as you said yesterday. I feel you can survive in time if you always remember the
good times she is part of my life’s canvas. ♥ I am working on my winter wonderland. 🙂
It looks like that outside too plenty of snow. Hopefully we will have some warmer weather
to take the chill off. Standing outside looking at the moon had me sneezing so I have to
be careful no worries I was wearing a long fur coat. ♥ Here’s to life Cherie. ♥ Yea to your
mom. Hat’s off to the Chef. Glad you and hands to help. This will help you as you go into
the day.

Enjoy with your family.
