December 10 - What I'm Thankful for Today

Today has been good. I didn't go to the YWCA this morning. I also didn't think I would get any exercise. All the walking I did yesterday at the Garden of Light event took a toll on me. However ... I'm thankful I didn't go to the Y this morning because the roads looked like glare ice as I expected they would. I'm thankful I got my walk this morning in the hallway. I got four laps this morning and have since done two more laps. All the aches and pains disappeared when I showered and started walking. I'm thankful for the time I was here this morning. I made headway with the notifications and visited with you. It's always good knowing what's going on in your world. I'm thankful for the work I did on my friend's book. It's coming along well. I'm thankful my sister called. She had bad news, but she sounded okay with all the pain she's in. She fell off a ladder and broke her shoulder in four places. It's going to be a while before she'll use her arm again normally. I'm glad she called to tell me. We used to be a family that didn't tell anyone anything. Okay, that's my day. It was good, and my sister will be fine when her shoulder heals. The snow should start soon. I don't know what they updated the totals too. I hope they didn't lower them. Yesterday they said 6-9 inches. Then I heard 3-6. I'm hoping we get the greater number. I love snow. I'm not afraid to drive in it, even with the accident I had last Sunday when I landed in a ditch. I'm just more cautious. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I'm glad you didn't go out in the icy conditions, either. Sometimes moving is the best medicine. I'm glad to hear a shower and a walk in the hall helped. Sounds like you are having very productive days.

Thank you. I am and hope to see headway soon unless Christmas eating puts a stop to that. I have a plan I'm hoping will work to curb those calories for Christmas. I might need to do extra walking to achieve success.

At least you're doing what you can to get your walk. I hope the rain stopped so you could get outside.

I didn't realize you had a sister. And I'm sorry she fell off the ladder. That's why it's rather not get on one anymore but sometimes it's necessary unfortunately. Be careful when our driving even running into curbs can mess up a car. I hope you get your snow and that there precipitation streets clear from us. We're supposed to get rain and warmer temps for a few days it's your snow coming soon?

I don't like ladders so I stay off them as much as possible. She is three years younger than me. Winter driving isn't easy. I try to be cautious, but you never know when you're going to hit a patch of black ice hidden under snow, which is what happened last Sunday. We got rain during the night. It changed over to snow now. I saw a warm-up on our weather map too. It didn't make me happy.

six inches of snow, that's quite a bit, on top of what we already have. North of us, they have a lot more snow! Sorry to hear about your sister breaking her shoulder. Is she the sister who stayed with you, after your knee surgery? Staying indoors is the safest option for you:)

Yes, she's my only sister. Six inches is a nice total. I'm still hoping to see a good amount here. I woke up to rain. It's now changed to snow and it's coming down pretty good and looks pretty outside.

I am sorry for your sister, I only damaged my shoulder, not broke, but it took a lot before I could use my arm as before.

I'm glad you were warm and dry at the auction. That's great you gave her a hug. It's snowing now. I don't think it looks like crap at all. That's what I flush down the toilet.

Ouch! Sorry about your sister. Glad she told you though, that's a good sign . Either amount would make me happy right now since we still haven't gotten anything, but 6-9 sounds so much better lol.

I'm glad she did too. At least it lasted until today. I don't know how much we got, but it will soon be gone in the heat of the day. They're saying high 50s.

Yes, I am, finally. It was raining when I woke this morning. It's snowing now and yes, I'm enjoying it. Thank you. She's fragile. At least it seems like it. This isn't her first broken bone. I hope it will be her last.

Safer to stay in when it is icy then to take a chance. I hope you get a lot of snow. We will have some storms late tonight through tomorrow morning. I'm thankful for Christmas carols. enjoyed listening to some today while working around the house.
