Valentines Day 2019

Today is Valentines Day a day to remember that love still exist in our crazy mixed up world.  I am spending it recuperating from a stomach virus.  There will be no romantic dinner or a box of chocolates.  There is of course a boutique of beautiful roses sitting on the table from my husband.  His Valentine present from me will probably be another frozen dinner or if I feel well enough maybe a home cooked meal and a date with Netflix.

So, it has turned out to be an interesting winter.  We have had a snow storm every weekend in January and February and one was a blizzard.  The wind has been atrocious gusting at 55 miles an hour on some days with power outages and uprooted trees due to the massive rainfall in between snow storms.  I was contemplating buying a boat and some oars.  And let us not forget our subzero weather minus 20 with the windchill.  We have been teased by spring like temperatures that in less than 24 hours went from single digits to 60 degrees.  We managed to take a walk outside that warm particular day dodging massive puddles and pot holes in the road.  The weather has more mood swings than most people.

I have been inside most of this winter looking out and wishing for an early spring.  So much for the flu shot which I have always advocated that people take.  The flu got me in early January which I believed to be a mild case that passed quickly.  Perhaps the flu shot adverted a full blown case.  However my husband was not as lucky and the flu took him down and he missed a whole week of work.  The flu is never fun but it seems scarier when you get older.  We are finding it harder to recoup when we do get ill.  I still believe in the flu shot and I feel it would have been much worse if we had not had ours.

I am going to pray that we all stay healthy as the whole family has been ill on and off.  I worry about my grand babies everyday with all the illnesses going around.  They are so cute and I hope I get well soon so I can see them.

Happy Valentines Day !!  Hope wherever you are it is filled with love.💖

Life is beautiful !!
