Time off! From home. Hate to say it, home is the most stressful part of my day!

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play, 
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men. 

I thought how, as the day had come, 
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th'unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men. 

And in despair I bowed my head: 
'There is no peace on earth, ' I said 
'For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.' 

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: 
'God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; 
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, 
With peace on earth, good will to men.'

Till, ringing, singing on its way, 
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, 
Of peace on earth, good will to men. 

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas....

The nerve of those Whos!
Inviting me down there, on such short notice!
Even if I wanted to go my SCHEDULE Wouldn't allow it!
One o'clock, Wallow in self pity
Four thirty, Stare into the abyss
Five o'clock, Solve world hunger; Tell no one
Five thirty, Jazz-ercise
Six thirty, dinner with me. I can't cancel that again!
Seven o'clock, wrestle with my self-loathing...
I'm booked!
Well if I bump the loathing up to nine I could still be done in time to lay in bed and stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness...
But what would I wear!!

Schedule look a little familiar to caregivers everywhere?

LLama you are so right about Md crab meat. We Marylanders KNOW that any other crab meat is inferior! And god bless Old Bay!! Your recipe sounds like mine, but I often bake it, with some mild cheese on top. Not too many extras,,we love to taste the crab. I swear I could eat it on cardboard and I'd still love it!!

Pam: That is correct! You may as well not make the hot crab dip if you're not using Maryland jumbo lump crab meat. Old Bay---they put that stuff on EVERYTHING! Cardboard---that's funny.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.

“Don't Just

Don't just learn, experience.
Don't just read, absorb.
Don't just change, transform.
Don't just relate, advocate.
Don't just promise, prove.
Don't just criticize, encourage.
Don't just think, ponder.
Don't just take, give.
Don't just see, feel.
Don’t just dream, do. 
Don't just hear, listen.
Don't just talk, act.
Don't just tell, show.
Don't just exist, live.” 
― Roy T. Bennett

Before you speak, say "Is it necessary, is it helpful and how will it be interpreted by the receiver?"

Practically perfect in every way.
A line from Mary Poppins.
I use it as a joke to myself when I “know how everything should be”.

Despite it being the coldest part of winter I can't help but smile whenever I hear the little chickadees at my neighbour's feeders.

Black cap, merry chap
Little chickadee!
Nuts and fat he likes to eat,
Upside down and on his feet,
And he sings so bright and gay
On the cold and wintry days
Chick-a-dee-dee, chick-a-dee-dee, chick-a-dee-dee, chickadee!

The lightening and thunder and rain was extreme until noon.
This afternoon in So. Cal., it is bright, sunny, blue skies, with bright white fluffy clouds. So beautiful!

One of my favorites is a good snowstorm, when we are warm, have plenty of food, and no one travels or expects anything. Read, nap, do a project just watch it snow.

No donuts here, but the home made chicken soup has helped me feel better overall.

There was just enough snow here last night to cover up the ugly and it was fluffy enough to make clearing the driveway more fun than toil. Despite the cold (-7
°C) you can really feel the sun, when I went for a walk I could hear water trickling off eaves and I noticed buds swelling on the trees. Bring it on!

It is snowing! Looks like the best snowstorm I have seen since leaving the state three years ago. Everything is so white, fluffy and quiet. Had to use four wheel drive to get into garage tonight.😀

Bad part? If it is too slippery looking in the morning I may just have to give up my weekly coffee.😕
