Too cold to be outside this morning – so treadmill it was. I took the Christmas decorations down and packed them away at Pinnacle, so another year is past. Updated some of the files and folders at the Greensburg store – ready for another year to begin.
Todays motivation (from the calendar page) is that today is an opportunity to shine and be my best self. I’m working on it. Does laundry count? Does POSTING THIS count???
Even thought Christmas decorations are packed away for another 11 or so months, I still have a few lights. This one is brightening up the kitchen. I am going to mix up a batch of scones later. For now I am listening to a Hallmark movie – an older one from years ago. As much as this new season of Christmas movies did not appeal to me, I do miss having them on in the background. Mostly it will be back to the radio and CD’s.
I stopped on the way home and renewed my library membership, which had expired a while ago. There are so many programs and options now – I’m excited to make better use of their facilities. First thing is to register online for my account – so I can borrow ebooks. And yesterday I got the newest ARC (advanced reader copy) for Elizabeth Bromke’s newest book – The Abbey House. It’s the last (3rd) book in the Heirloom Island series, the one after the Manger House. I’m about 40% through it at this point. As usual, I love it, and it’s hard to put down. Who knows what chores (if any) I’ll get done til I finish the book!
January 3rd – Do you know any other circumstances of your birth (who was present, who delivered, etc)? “My grandmother Crooks, who lived with us, helped Dr. Clark Smith in the delivery. The rest of the family were there in the house. Uncle Edd, brother Jim (4 years) & sister Hazel (20 months). Dad was there also. They said there was a bad thunderstorm when I was born.” It’s strange to think about babies being born at home. Very few consider that option now.
Yesterday’s vacation destination was Bali, which is in Indonesia. Three best things to see there are the sunsets, island tours (waterfalls and lagoons), and Monkey Forrest. Bali offers lots of sports activities, like hiking and snorkeling. Weather is usually in the 70’s or 80’s – with a pronounced rainy season. Beautiful scenery! If you go, send pictures!
