Lake Michigan area is cold indeed.
My Mother sounds a little worried and yet she still goes out to the stores and Dr. appts.
Told me not to visit yet, just not safe for the community there.

Have fun playing games tonight.

Club Sheba Holiday Edition

@shoelady60,

Mommy look what Sheba did. 🤣Now she is going to sweeten you up with something.

Stay warm and toasty with Jake. 😘 I am doing alright today no doctor’s appt. 😎

Love this! ❤❤❤

Never left the house today. Got rid of a lot of little messes here and there. Got my 2021 calendar out and marked all birthdays, anniversaries, doctor appts., etc. It took three days but snow is all gone until the next one. Planning to lay low all weekend and, hopefully, catch up on some reading. BTW, Jake is really loving the new bed. He is sending ‘burgh barks back to you and Poppy.🤗💗

Not shopping today, maybe tomorrow. No computer. Seems like it is stuck in California and may be there indefinitely because of the fires and Covid. I’m not holding my breath. When it gets here I will be happy and happier if there is no breakage and is in perfect, workable condition.

Definitely will be in Trivia tonight. The cousin who passed away was a very unhappy person. Though she was adopted at an early age, she had many problems and was addicted to heroin and many others. Her parents fought tooth and nail sending her to rehab several times and it seems to no avail. Not sure if she past from an overdose or other medical conditions. She lived alone. I surmise she was happier when high and therefore rehab either was not long enough or people gave up or the right place was never found or she was never ready to make a commitment. Whatever the reason I just hope she is in a better place.

Thank you for the Hanukkah thread. I will add to it as well and hopefully others will do the same. Stay warm and enjoy the day. Be safe.

@taci,

Too late to edit but it is very east to walk in the cold from a warm house. 😘

I am used to it. I grew up off of Lake Michigan so this is easy peasy. No worries
I warm up by the fireplace when Poppy and I get in the house. I need the exercise
because it makes me feel good. I love the Endorphins. 💕😘

I get why people are out jogging and running in deep cold weather their bodies
don’t feel it.

Intuit Your Home’s Decor

Spend time in a room before decorating – feel it and consider using that room for a purpose that wasn’t originally intended

When we decide the time has come to change the look or feel of our personal spaces, it is the spaces themselves that can provide us with the most useful guidance. Working with a single room, an apartment, or an entire house allows us to unearth the innate potential of these spaces and also better understand how we want to relate to them. To be conscious of the possibilities of a space, we need to listen to, look at, and bond with that space in a deep and personal way. Just as no two people are alike, no two rooms, however similar, are identical. The more we know about the spaces we wish to change, the better equipped we are to make them both beautiful and functional.

Before you contemplate colors and layouts, spend some time in the rooms you plan to modify. Observe the way light moves through each space at different times of day. In the course of a week or so, note those times when you feel drawn to a particular space. You may naturally gravitate toward one room when you want to relax and toward another when you want to socialize. Also, remember that not all rooms have to be used as originally planed, for example a dining room may make a wonderful sitting area. As you make these observations, think about whether the spaces under consideration remind you of anything or bring certain thoughts to mind. Writing your thoughts down can make the process of examination simpler. The discoveries you make regarding the rooms in your home can help guide you as you choose color schemes, furniture layouts, and decorative styles, so that you bring out the natural qualities of each using your creativity and eye for detail. Using the cues you pick up, you can design a beautiful room that is bright and exciting, or one that calms the soul and invites meditation.

By treating the layout and décor of your personal spaces in this mindful way, you can honor their natural rhythms while creating a cohesive and comfortable home through which energy can flow unencumbered. The design elements you subsequently choose will work together like the diverse instruments that come together to form a symphony orchestra. Each will resonate harmoniously with the next, ensuring that your home resounds with a lasting message of beauty, serenity, reassurance, and comfort.
