A new year…

and a new post; the first one this year.  It is so cold here today.  Even though the sun is shining brightly the wind chill right now is 10 degrees.  We had 3 inches of snow yesterday and my car is covered.  I need to go out this afternoon and try to get it cleaned off.

I ambitiously cleaned my bathroom top to bottom today.  I had to force myself to do it, but it is done.  I also have myself back in my exercise routine and even though I refuse to call it a resolution I intend to be faithful to it.

One of my old friends from home called me last night to wish me a happy new year.  Her kids were all there visiting.  Her son is going to be a new father in a few months so that means another grandbaby for her.  She was so excited about it.  Then last week another old friend from home called.  Thanks Sandi and Christine, your calls brightened the season for me.

There is nothing new here to write about.  No resolutions because I don’t make them anymore.  And now I am going to bundle up good and go out and try and clean my car off. 

Stay safe and be happy!!

Beth

  6. Hi Beth,

    I have already started to think about Spring, at least it is on its way now.

    Everything seems so much easier when there are more daylight hours.

    No snow here at the moment and that is how I like it.

    Hugs Nita

    Oh I so need to get my butt in gear and clean the bathroom, ugh I did clean the counters and the toilet but with boys I have to do that daily ... lol :)

  25. I think a clean bathroom is important I hate it when my bathroom doesn't look clean and think a dirty bathroom is terrible who wants to have a shower or bath or even just go to the toilet in a dirty bathroom.
