A little "let-down" after a years work.

Well, well? The day has come and gone and no matter how each of us felt about it -we now have a new year facing us to deal with  as we see fit.

I have spent my new day playing catch up - or that is what it feels like. I caught up with the laundry basket and also the "putting - away" of all the laundry which can be a task in itself. Then I worked in the kitchen-dishes were piled up everywhere I looked and there was NO room for me to work. I was just TOO exhausted yesterday when we got home to tackle dishes and since DH is a grazer the stacks just got higher and higher. So, it took me about two hours to get them all done and pluck them from their hiding places.

 Then I moved on to making us a pot of fresh potato soup - which is one thing that DH loves.  Thank goodness for the fact that it is nice and simple and I still need "simple"!

Our snow showers has turned into snowfall of about 6 inches of the pretty white powdery stuff. It is very slick to try to stand up in -but I did get my chores accomplished-but fighting that ice cold whipping wind made breathing outside a chill that hurt. I was so glad to be able to come to the house and start all those chores.

I was feeling a little "bla" until my youngest granddaughter emailed me and thank me for her gifts! That really lifted my spirits! She was my Hero today .

So, if any of you are feeling that "bla" feeling and just need an ear -you are welcome to share it with me. :) I know for me -just starting to count my blessings - usually helps me so much.

Or right now at this moment - Miss Rosie the sewing kitty - has pounced upone a gift that she received from my Tenn. buddy. Rosie was sosoooo tickled to be remembered and she is throwing the little Santa attached to a string high in the air!I think she counts her blessings too. :)

So, Dash Away, Dash Away - Dash Away All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. Oh I know that your granddaughter made your day! I gave mine some dishcloths that I had made along with some other things including cash. I finally heard from 2 of them today that they liked the dish cloths! It does help to get acknowledged. Don't work too hard.

  2. It's amazing what a little thankyou can do. we don't spend our time making gifts to be thanked but it sure helps. Happy days to you.
