most unusual day!!!!

I must have forgotten something today. This is very strange for the house to be so quiet and I have no place to go and the phone has not rung all morning....hmmmmm. Maybe it is just what I needed.

Gary got up very early today....around 4:30 and went to work in the dark and zero weather. I went back to bed and turned the electric blanket on and slept until 8:30!!!!!! That is VERY unusual for me!!! I think it is a reminder for me to reflect on my misgivings and appreciate what is right rather than what is wrong.

Just for today....let me be more aware when shopping or spending that Gary is up at 4:30 trying to keep us warm and comfortable.

Just for today...let me not be critical of others because they don't think like I do. I am not always right and perhaps I am a bull headed Swede.

Just for today let me be grateful for what is working right in my body, rather than what is wrong. There are people who have much more disabilities than my little twitch. (not happening so far today) do you really think it was the caffeine??? Oh how I wish.

I keep asking Gary if I will be okay and he always says yes because to quote my brother "it's hard to kill a Swede". Sometimes he tells me the story about the little girl riding in the big truck singing songs with her dad.

Enough of the reflections for today....Yesterday I had lunch with Dorothy and Karen. Karen was quiet for Karen. Dorothy was lovely as always, but not quite so flashy as usual. I told her that I hurt my back vacuuming and she volunteered to do it for me. LOL The funny part is that she REALLY means it!!! Karen said you can do mine!!! Dorothy and I sat in the cold car for about an hour just talking. I don't see her very often, but when we get together we always have lots to chat about.

Looking forward to tomorrow with Jane....what a sweetie.

More later,

Patty
