Friday Roundup

It's here,  our first snowstorm of the season. Personally, I think it is the first of several.  The early onset of snow this year, before Thanksgiving, has led me to believe we are in for a rough winter. It is okay with me, though. I don't have to worry about calling in sick anymore, and I am settled in a nice cozy apartment with plenty of heat. 

Yesterday I went to the center in the morning and picked up a few items to tide us over so we have plenty of food to eat. I am definitely ready to hunker down. I do feel bad, though for those older seniors who are alone and unable to get out. I have my tablet and a smartphone to keep up the outside world, but most of them don't own or no how to use a computer. 

I won at bingo yesterday, my first time since before the election. Only two dollars, but it is the feeling that comes from winning something. Speaking of good feelings, I started something new this year. A dear friend turned me onto it. I found a plain jar, and each day I write two good things that happened to me and put them in the jar. At the end of the year,it will be a reminder of all the good that happened all year long. 

I stepped out on my stoop and snapped the following pictures. I had wanted to get there before man destroyed all the beauty, but unfortunately  I overslept.

  2. Stay safe and warm my friend...and cograts on the Bingo winnings, lol! It's minus 15 here this morning and getting colder this next week. Snow on the way later on today as if we haven't had enough yet, ha ha ha.
    But like you I'm warm and have plenty in the pantry so I'm not complaining one iota...love the hibernating aspects of the season. Have a fantastic day!

  7. I like your gratitude jar idea. I keep a gratitude journal where I write down four things I'm grateful for every day. I know you know the power of gratitude for the smallest things. Keep warm and cozy!
