Jan 4, 2013 Brrrr!

(The blogger is not letting me upload photos this morning.)

Wednesday morning, 7 degrees and fog.  Another good day to be inside.  Did dishes and laundry.  I worked on my rubber stamp inventory and JB worked on his Magic card inventory.  The only time we were outside was to bring in wood and go for our afternoon walk, at which time I put Jesse's coat on him.  Our high for the day was 8.  Dinga would be warm and happy at -20, but Jesse seemed very pleased to be wearing his coat.  He pranced for the whole walk.

Thursday was 8 and overcast, no fog.  JB left for Down There about 9:30.  Didn't particularly want him to go in such frigid weather, but freezing rain and/or snow are in the forecast for the next few days so yesterday was the day.  This time though, he took a walkie-talkie so we would be able to communicate at any point in the canyon.  It was a good trip and he was home by 3:30 pm.

I have decided to take down the Christmas decorations slowly, a few each day.  That way they won't be suddenly gone, but rather our home will just gradually transform from Christmas into the New Year.  And, speaking of the New Year, with its entrance I always get a rush of energy.  The holidays are over.  No more excuses to just relax and enjoy the aura.  (I get very lazy in December.)  It's a new year, with new plans and promises.  Regardless of the news media, I am always upbeat and positive about the months ahead.  Hopefully that won't fall under the heading: famous last words. . .

Thought for the day:  It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important.  You have to do the right thing.  It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit.  But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing.  You may never know what results come from your action.  But if you do nothing, there will be no result.  Gandhi
