FIVE BLESSINGS

-
Good morning! The sun is shining today! Blessing #1.  
Oqunquit, Maine



I love the snow but I love the beach more. Today I wouldn't mind breathing in the salty invigorating sea air at my favorite beach.






Thank goodness March is almost over and our furnace is still working. Blessing #2. We've had so much trouble with it.

I do worry even when I try not to but I am a silent fretter. I tell you this story to illustrate that not everything is hunky dory in my life.

My little furbaby, Lucybelle, has had a bump on her belly. Roger assured me that it was only a fatty cyst. I felt it right after I arrived home from Maine. For all those who don't know I am major care-giving plus POD for my soon to be 92 year old mother who lives on the "Island" in Maine. I spend a good deal of my time there. But I digress. Lucy's bump drove me crazy but I tried not to explode at hubby for not taking her to the vet. He KNEW from my mannerisms that I was worried sick. So, he took her to the vet. He's not fond of the vet that I use. Too pricey. He would rather wait in line at the clinic at the local Tractor and Supply. I was sick at the time so I was just thankful she was being looked at. Well, when Lucy was examined neither  the vet nor Roger could find the lump! Unbelievable! So he came home no further ahead then when he started! He agreed that it was there when I pointed it out to him but said it can't be all that serious if the vet couldn't find it. So, I am still anxious but wonder if I should take her to my regular vet after all. It hasn't gotten any larger.

 Do you have a favorite food that you have eaten with much pleasure but your family says "Ewww" to? I have! Mayonnaise sandwiches. I have been eating them for about 60 years! Blessing #3. There are two rules though: fresh bread and Hellman's Mayo.


Blessing #4. 
I have not had a cold in forever! At least 10 years. I hope I am not jinxing myself by saying that! If you don't count sinus infections. 

And, blessing #5. I am glad that I have Faith. The type of faith that allows me to not panic over what is going on in the world, especially the United States. Full term killing of babies is heavy on my mind. I will always be a Conservative no matter who is in the Oval Office. 
Have a good day everyone! I leave you with this photo of a beautiful pheasant taken by Jill Buchan in Scotland. She has a lovely blog, Land of the Big Sky.

BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED

Hello there wherever you are! A little update from the person who has a very boring existence these days. Well, I guess I left off with the sale of my parents house and the divviing up of the proceeds to various family members. That open a whole lot of friction with lawyers involved. That took time and the buyers had construction workers due to start work on the house. They extended the closing date by 10 days and I was sweating bullets on the last day but it happened and is behind me now.   Once that was over with we scheduled to have a whole house generator. Electricians, and excavators were scheduled but because of backlogs we didn’t see anyone until after Christmas. We are in a valley and we have to drive up to our road. A ditch had to be dug from our house to the road. The power company had to replace a pole and run new lines up at the road. Trees had to be cut down and huge boulders taken out of the ditch. What a mess! It rained just about every day when the were doing all 30...

RAINY DAY MUSINGS

  Hello dear bloggy friends! Another rainy blog of musings. I hope you don’t mind. So, what am I doing on this dark, rainy day? I am reliving nostalgia…of a youth wasted on a picturesque island on the coast of Maine.  I can remember buying my first record player in my teens. I don’t know what it was.  My younger brother was the music buff in the family. I had no time. I was working or reading. School. No dating though. Fast forward to today.     About a year or so ago I was introduced via YouTube to the BEE GEES! I love love love this group.  A  musical 🎶 treasure I missed out on in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s!!! How did I miss SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER?? Yes, I know my world was warped. Working while the world turned. Until I retired there was very little down time for me and when there was I read. Love to read. I’m sure I knew what was going on, after all I have lived in cities for most of my life after leaving the Island. But better late than never I ...

BEING GOOD TO ME

-
  Hello and thank you for stopping by! It’s raining here, has been for days and the rivers and streams are in overdrive with massive flooding. I hope that you are okay wherever you are. As for me I am a bit stressed these days so have retreated to knitting and writing. I feel somewhat better when I put myself first. I know that might sound selfish but I need to prioritize in my mind what comes first…having a heart attack or taking a break from life. Just joking. I think many of you reading this have developed coping mechanisms and strategies for dealing psychologically with life issues and unpleasant situations. I have dealt with horrible life circumstances by retreating into myself. I have suffered my whole life with social anxiety and a lack of self confidence. I hide it well but lately it is manifesting itself again. I rather think I am my mother’s child after all. My father had lots of self confidence and an extremely outgoing personality. He loved to laugh, sing, and was very ...
