Club Sheba Holiday Edition

P.S. I love the fashion. This time of year is so pretty and miraculous. I wish we could celebrate all year long.

Good Evening. We were out and about this morning. We had cloudy skies with the sun coming out of hiding every so often. Temps were warm, but not overly, and there was no humidity. I was wondering if the weathermen got the forecast all wrong. But around 4pm I just happened to look outside and the sky was jet black. I decided to look out from our den windows. By the time both of us got there it was pouring torrents with flashes of lightning and the bellows of thunder. Turned on the TV and there was red at the bottom outlining the areas of real severe weather including tornadoes. We dodged the tornadoes, but not the bursts of raindrops. I think xango may be getting the worse of the storms. I just hope she and her husband are safe.
Cooler temps are now in our forecast for the next few days. In Florida, the cold snaps hang around for a day or two and then we return to what the weathermen call normalcy. I do miss the snow, but not the shoveling part. Be sure if it’s a wet snow that you put something down to prevent falls.

I enjoy Andrew’s vitamins. They are expensive when you compare the price to the products in other retail and vitamin stores and even the warehouses. But when “push comes to shove,” his ingredients speak volumes. His ingredients cannot be found anywhere nor do they do the job that his does. I have added some of his immune factors and feel good. I felt those were needed to get back on my feet after Covid. To this day I do not know how both of us dodged the bullet when we were so ill on that cruise. We thank god everyday for seeing us through that tough period and for giving us insight through the news media. Dr. Fauci remarked today that if 75% of the population adheres to his advice and takes the shots, that by the middle of Autumn we may be able to enjoy the theater, the movies, dinner out and inside a restaurant, etc.. I would love to see this sooner rather than later. But, there is some semblance of light after that long, dark, morbid tunnel that we have been through.

That’s it for now. Dress warm, snuggle under those blankets and comforters and stay safe. Tell hubby to take it easy if shoveling is in order tomorrow. If the snow is fluffy enough, sweep instead of shovel. Don’t forget our gal is on tonight. Happy shopping…..😎💖💖

Sheba, The Christmas tree dress are a real treat and if it wasn’t for this thread I would not have ever seen them, so thank you. Sounds like you will have snow for Christmas. We are dry here and no sign of any rains to come.
Getting a package out at 6am, wow, those are some dedicated HSN and postal employees.

Good afternoon – it has been snowing since 10:00am today,❄❄ back and forth between light and heavy. I have not stepped out of the house. Hubby has shoveled a path off the deck three times so Jake can get off into the yard. He comes in looking like a snowman, all his brown covered in white.⛄ I’m sure we will get the 6-9″ as the latest prediction. If you don’t hear from me tomorrow, it will most likely be because I don’t have power.😣 Keeping fingers crossed. I made a pot of vegetable soup and a cherry pie early so we are set with dinner and dessert.🥣🥧

Have something warm to drink by the fire tonight.☕🔥 Jake sending white nose kisses to Poppy.

Happy Heidi Days to all the Heidi Daus Girls. 😘💕

One of my favorite girls will be on today here on HSN. 😘💕

Keeping a Diary With Purpose

Reflecting back on diary entries, you may find you are just the help you need in your own life

A diary can play many roles. It can be a confidant, a vehicle of self expression, a tool that facilitates clarity of thought, or a repository of dreams. A diary can also be a powerful source of comfort during challenging or traumatic periods. When you record those insights and incidents that clearly demonstrate you are on the right track, you can return to your words days, weeks, or months later and find uniquely soothing reassurance. A diary with a specific purpose can be a good tool for keeping track of experiences before the passage of time can skew your perception of events. It reflects the immediacy of your life and thus provides you with a landmark to return to when you begin to doubt yourself. If doubt does arise, simply open your diary to reaffirm your experiences. The confidence, surety, passion, and bravery you felt in a single moment is preserved, giving you a means to recapture those feelings in any place, at any time.

Your diary serves as a repository of personalized encouragement. Since a diary is, by its very nature, as individual as you are, you should give some thought to the type of diary that will serve you best. A synchronicity-and-connections diary might describe those instances where seemingly random occurrences came together in a meaningful way, propelling you forward. Or you may find strength in the pages of a pride diary that makes note not only of those times you felt proud of yourself but also precisely why you were pleased with your efforts. And a cause-and-effect diary can help you become more decisive by reminding you of all the wise, life-affirming choices you have made. Your diary should be small enough to be readily portable and on hand whenever possible because the faster you put your thoughts down on paper, the more authentic your declarations are apt to be.

Regardless of the type of focused diary you choose to keep, your recollections will create a positive feedback loop that helps you cope with doubt in a constructive way. Reading through your diary when life seems uncertain can show you that your misgivings are unfounded. As you draw consolation from your uplifting words, you will know without a doubt that you are indeed living your purpose and following the path that you committed to before birth. 😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the burgh. 😘Stay warm and toasty with Jake. 🤣I have so many pictures
and like you I have no wall space. The thing I like is it looks really nice and not junky or
out of place. 😎We are cold in OZ no snow yet.

Make sure Jake stays safe. I hope you don’t lose power. Just putting up the annual
