The end of February
Most people wait for Spring. They enjoy sunny days in the Winter. I guess I must be crazy. I like the cloudy winter Days and I sort of dread the warm weather approaching. Maybe I lived in Siberia in another life or something. I really don't believe in reincarnation. I am Christian through and through so I don't want to mislead anyone. Still, I don't know why I like the gray days of Winter so much. It is a mystery to me. Maybe I just enjoy the slower pace in the Winter.
They say there might be some snow this weekend and I am wishing for it. I do hear an occasional song from a lonely bird in the morning which I think is new. I am sorry to tell this lonely bird that most of the time March comes in like a Lion and goes out like a Lamb. Still more cold to come............. ( I hope ) I hear people wishing for Spring. "Spring is right around the corner!" and "I can't for Spring." I don't join in these conversations much except to say. " I don't like the heat." Mostly I don't say anything because I don't want to steal their joy!!!
So its my favorite day of the week....Saturday and I am trying to make some plans for a haircut. My husband likes my hair long but I am tiring of this ...... I am a middle aged woman and it is time to look more my age and less like I am trying to be a teenager. Amazing what we do for those we love. The only plus to having longer hair is that it can be pulled up or back. I have a pet peeve about hairstylists. though. I hate making appointments. I like walk in places. Unfortunately, I do not always trust the folks at these places. I like doing things on the spur of the moment. The older I get I do not like planning ahead! Not sure why.
So, here is hoping for snow showers and the courage to follow through with my plans for a haircut. Not sure how these are related!!!!

Winter Vacation
Well, I guess I did not post much in the last year! I am on vacation for 10 days and yes, I do love winter vacations, only this time I am not flying out to a sunny location. I will be staying right here and hopefully enjoying my home city...the cold weather.and I am praying for SNOW!!!
I plan to try to post more to this blog. I got a laptop and I have become comfortable with it. Maybe it will lend to a few more posts.
I am not sure what to post on a blog, maybe this is the problem. ........I guess it can be whatever I want it to be.
I have a place where I go, a place of solitude, and I feel the place calling me. It is not far from home. I feel it would be an appropo way to begin my vacation. It would be good to clear my head of all the cobwebs of work in order to experience solitude, relaxation and rejuvenation. Vacations can be strange things. Right now it is lying before me, a clean slate to be filled. But how to fill it? That is the question, and one I should have decided on some time ago. No, there will be no sunny vacation by my own choice, it is true. Still, it is precious time and spending it wisely is important to me. There is such a plethora of things to do but what would serve me best? Every day while I am working it is so stressful and busy. It is a state that I get use to. I wonder sometimes if I still remember,(or did I ever learn) how to relax. What is relaxing? Is it coming to the end of the vacation knowing that much was accomplished? Can I be happy if not much is taken care of save relaxing? A flurry of activity would only be an extension of my everyday life while working!
So, today the decision has to be made and I will make it.
A Happy Valentines Day to all......... I am Happy that I do have the same Valentine for many years and I do Love him so. A part of my life I am thankful for..........It was just a few years ago that my Sweetheart returned home from the hospital after open heart surgery. His physical heart was healed, and we have had the gift of TIME once again. This Valentine's Day I remain thankful for that. Thankful that the physical heart was healed and our hearts, in an emotional and loving sense, can remain entwined for more time on this earth......as I am sure our hearts will remain entwined for Eternity. He was my High School Sweetheart. Many miles have been traveled together. Happy Valentines Day Sweetheart!!!
