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 !!

Happy New Year 2019 !!
The year has flown by quickly and has ended on a soggy note. It has been raining nonstop all day, but on the bright side it hit 60 degrees. I don't ever recall it being this warm on the last day of the year. We are having a mild start to winter despite many days of overcast and gloom. Sunny days are welcomed any time. This was a strange year for the weather. Our winter never ended until May and we jumped overnight to hot humid days. It was not a good year for enjoying the outdoors. It has left a lot of people with seasonal depression including myself. I am praying for an early spring and lots of flowers.
This year will be in my mind and heart as a turning point to a new chapter of life. The miracle of babies has brought much happiness, love, and laughter to our family. The grandchildren have been a healing grace for bringing a family back together. They are the best gift ever.
Natural disasters will come and go and we loose people we love and it is all a part of life. We hold on to good memories, practice forgiveness, and love is always there to remind us how wonderful life is.
The year was a lesson on what life is all about. After seven funerals this year, I have been living each day making my own dreams come true. There is no waiting until tomorrow as we realize that someday will be here sooner than we realize. To my friends and family that we lost this year your memories fill our life with comfort.
Loosing one of my childhood friends way too soon has left such a void in my life story. I think of her everyday and will always carry with me her smile, warm sense of humor, and love she had for her family and friends. May she rest in peace and we will continue to reap the memories of her beautiful personality.
Well the wind is gusting at 50 miles an hour and sending 2018 on its way. My husband is asleep beside me on the couch. I will wake him in time for 2019 and a kiss. Look out world here we come.
Happy New Year !!!😊
Life is beautiful!!
