Today was like a dream come true. The temperature reached 62 degrees and the sun came out after an overcast morning. We have never had this warm of a day in January. I kept pinching myself to be assured that I was not dreaming. It is like a big tease as the weather man said the temperature will drop tomorrow as rain moves into the area and by Monday winter will be back.
My husband and I spent most of the afternoon outside walking and enjoying the sunshine. The warm weather brought lots of people outdoors. Some people were taking down Christmas decorations, others washing their car, and I even saw a man riding his bicycle. This has been an awesome day. It gives us hope that Spring is around the corner.
Laney has even enjoyed running around the backyard. She has Spring fever also. She and I are going to pray for early Spring or we may head south to warm weather.
We are now two weeks out from the half marathon. We are praying to stay healthy and strong. All things possible with determination, love and my husband. Life is beautiful !!
La vie est belle avec celui que vous aimez !

Flu Shot
It is amazing to me that people don't hesitate to vaccinate their dogs for animal viruses, but they won't take care of themselves and take a flu vaccine. I know people that take better care of their pets than their self. I think we should all take care of our pets as they are a lovable members of the family. We should also make sure they get proper exercise and eat well. They deserve to live a healthy life as we do.
I am not understanding why people refuse to take a flu vaccine. In lieu of the flu epidemic I am amazed at the comments I have read. The one that irks me the most is the vaccine gives you the flu. Well, I have never gotten the flu from a vaccine and have probably had a flu vaccine for the last 20 plus years. I took it to protect myself and my family members. I would rather forfeit the cost of one dinner out and get vaccinated than to be laid up for a week and miss work. I find it irresponsible for people who refuse to be vaccinated and then go to work ill. Please keep your germs at home if you like getting the flu. And lastly, the government is not forcing you to get a flu shot, but maybe your common sense should. You vaccinate your pets so they won't die. Check the statistics of deaths from flu and that may prompt you to get a shot. It is not too late.
I was back on the track last evening for another four miles. Hoping that I might be able to walk outside tomorrow as we are going to have a record breaking high of 66 degrees. We are getting a lot of rain, but the forecast calls for rain later in the day tomorrow. I have a feeling this weather is a big tease as there is another snow storm coming out of northern plains. I'll enjoy the tease while it last. Life is beautiful !!
