FEBRUARY is half way over. Our winter rolls on.. cold and snow and then warm and rain. I must say it has been a weird one. One bright light is that our little LILY is now standing on her own and getting ready to walk around any day now. It is then that the fun starts.. trying to keep up with her. I love toddler years..so exciting watching them experience things for the first time. How their face lights up with joy seeing Mom and Dad when they have been away. 😊
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
TO YOU ALL...
My first entry in 2018... HAPPY NEW YEAR..
WE MADE IT... we actually made it through 2017.. what a year it was!
Made my list last night of goals for this year. One is for health, and one is for making each day more organized. Yeah, started off great..in my closet..getting rid of old stuff and finding more room in there. Felt great to get it all done. Horrid weather, very cold, so I took my walk in the hallway of my building. At least it is warmer than outside!!
So I know there are going to be some real changes this year.. I just hope we all survive them safe, happy and healthy.
HAVE YOU MADE SOME GOALS FOR 2018?
As the years roll by.. the holiday takes on a new meaning to me. I am not a HUM BUG person, I just am not as JOLLY as I used to be. This year I am not baking my cookies and making fudge. So many cannot have the goodies any more or are making their own. I found that people could not have the treats and just did not want to tell me. Sooo I decided this year I would just stop doing it. Sad I know, but better than wasting all the money and time and work doing all the baking etc.
LIFE sure changed after leaving the old house and neighborhood and so I learned, I guess, to just adjust to another kind of lifestyle. In our apartment building we all exchange cards and that is about it. When I first moved here there was a Christmas party thrown on the second Saturday of December. The whole 24 apts were invited.
That stopped in 2015, people moved away who did the planning and paid for most of it. Even a potluck sort of thing was passed up. We don't have a community room for such a gathering here anyway, it is up to individuals to plan to use their own apts.
So life goes on, another holiday is almost past. I like shopping for bargains, but this year will wait til AFTER the holiday for the best deals. My best present to myself was
MY PILLOW... I got a great deal and got two and they are wonderful. I am hoping they help me sleep better. Well, hope wherever you are, you and yours have a wonderful
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
