Connie's Corner

Be good to myself, others, and the planet.

The title of this entry is my new year's (and life's) resolution. If I can accomplish that, everything else will fall into place.

It's a little chilly here this morning with frost and icy windows and a harsh wind, but I am not complaining. My Delaware daughter called last night at the first sight of snowflakes. She had already swapped ends with her car so she would not have to back out of her driveway this morning. I checked the Deldot cams a little while ago and it looks like traffic is moving normally. I haven't heard from "North Dakota"...the phone lines and towers are probably frozen stiff! Reception up there is not all that good on a normal day with Canadian towers sometimes 'interfering'.

I made lentil/pasta soup, cornbread, and orange-cranberry bread at lunchtime, more for the stove and oven heat than anything else. Holding the cup of soup in my hands brings back ease of movement to my fingers and the heat in my tummy warms my brain.

My life history group met yesterday (first Thursday of each month). I always check my library account (since the meeting is held at the library) before I go to make sure I don't have any overdue books...and I did...have an overdue book. Not only was it overdue, I did not remember getting it. I looked and looked everywhere for it and was just about to give up and offer to "buy" it when I decided to look in my library bag. Yep, never even taken out . I guess that proves how much I wanted that book!

Our group was very slim yesterday, only seven of us, but quality made up for quantity...haha. I did hear some nice stories and caught up on the holidays with everyone. Next month our topic is "write about your day". Hmmm....that's what I do everyday...right here or in my journal. Should be an easy one.

until next time...c
