Today is suppose to be the first day of spring, but it is more like a winter day. The wind has been howling as it usually does in March, but the temperature is below normal. The high today is only 32 degrees. The only blessing is the beautiful sun which looks great from inside. I was out early this morning and quickly returned home, as the cold wind was a bit uncomfortable. This is one of those days when you wonder if the ground hog made a mistake. The weatherman predicted an early spring, but the March weather outlook seems more like winter. I even saw some snowflakes falling amidst the sunshine. There will be no walking outside yet. My husband and I will have to continue walking on the indoor track for awhile. I am so grateful for that indoor track, as I can't tolerate the cold any more. Laney has even been under the weather as she has been sick the last couple of days and sticking to me like glue. We are praying for warmer days.
So, my husband and I have found a new distraction in life. The love notes have become a new adventure for us. I have to say it is a great diversion from everyday life. He has made me search for the notes. One of them was in the refrigerator. As I opened the door, it was hanging from the shelf. I couldn't find today's note, and I had to get a hint from him. I do say that it is a great way to lift one's spirits. We needed something to distract our minds from cancer. A friend asked me the other day what it like to live with cancer in your life. I told her it is always there to remind us to cherish those we love and to have fun everyday. It could be looked at as a blessing to live your life to the fullest. Never stop living your dreams.
When I was out earlier, I stopped at the book store as I love books. I refrained from buying any new ones, because I am still reading The Emperor Of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee. I will be forever grateful for all doctors who have dedicated their lives to finding cures for cancer and other diseases. Thank you to all the doctors that have graced my husband's and my life. Hugs and smiles to you.
I have one last book to mention today, as I thought of it when I was writing love notes to my husband.
It is I Love You, Ronnie The Love Letters Of Ronald Reagan To Nancy Reagan by Nancy Reagan. It is a beautiful book of love letters sent from Ronnie to Nancy over several years. I read it some years ago, and I still love to sit and reread it. It will make you want to be in love.
Life is beautiful !!!
