On These Cold Winter Days

It's too cold to go anywhere. Time to hang it up and stay in where it's warm and dry (well at least on the weekend when I don't have to go to work). So what do I do on these cold winter days? I do what people have done for centuries - I eat my way into warmth. Okay, so I attained my goal weight last year and I want to keep it. But there's still a lot of leeway and since cooking is the thing I love more than the actual consumption, there are always ways of blessing others with a plate of something.



What other indoor pursuits do I have? Surfing the web to find a good spot for our summer vacation. Just thinking of a week at the beach in the middle of summer is a very inviting thought.



I also have been reading. Get a good cup of low-fat hot chocolate and nonfat whipped cream, grab your book and a microwave-heated wrap and it's a great time to visit anywhere. Currently, I am in Scotland at a fish plant (A Risk Worth Taking by Robin Pilcher). It's colder and rainier there and it isn't even winter yet in the novel.



Then there is the great pastime of napping. Snuggling up with Lloyd on the bed, flanked by Wuzzy and occasionally Yogi is unspeakable joy.



Whatever the weather and whatever you are doing wherever you are, I hope you make this a great today and that you papmer yourself a little bit with comforts and joy.

Recent Trip to Rehoboth

A few weeks ago I was blessed to spend a wonderful long weekend with my sister and my friends in Rehoboth Beach Delaware. We had a grand time and returned home with memories, stories, a few extra pounds, souvenirs, and of course pictures. Click on the video to view.

Nothing OT

I belong to some online groups that are designed to share special interests like reading, cooking, travel, etc. Often replies to a post will get off on a tangent and before you know it, the subject is changed to begin with "OT" for "off topic". In some groups members or moderators will try to abolish off topic posts in order to keep down volume and to keep the posts related to the subject of the mail group. But it's comforting to know that nothing is OT with God. We can go to Him in prayer and pour out our hearts. We can approach Him about anything and everything in our lives and He listens. We don't have to have a religious formula for prayer. If we read something from a prayer book that's okay too if it expresses our hearts. But if the prayer is "HELP" or "God, I can't go on" or even if we lash out in fear or anger, it's okay. It doesn't change the way He feels about us. He loves us unconditionally. He is looking for us ...
