Good morning everyone.

"I get up. I walk. I fall down. Meanwhile, I keep dancing."
– Rabbi Hillel
Patty...I have to agree with Nancy with your post today. Storms are present in our lives and God has different ways of calming the storms and the fears/worries/anxieties they bring. The quote I found today is another way of coping with life's stresses. We have to keep dancing or looking for the good that is present. Wow...heavy day today but peaceful and calming at the same time.
Sorry about the small font...I am working on Mozilla and there is no way to change the fonts on iVillage like you can with IE or others. So...get your reading glasses on if you want to read this. I didn't even bother with the contacts today...I went right into giving my eyes a rest and wearing my triple Rx glasses instead. Sheesh!!!
Nothing doing here...literally. I got up late and missed having enough time to go to the 8 am Mass with the NC crew The church is about 20 minutes away and when I got out of the shower, all were gone and 2 cars are still missing. I am wondering if I have been abandoned...;-). I believe my body needed the rest and that is why I overslept. I am starting to feel better with all my aches and pains and well, that is my excuse and I am sticking to it.
I am still trying to dry out and defrost from yesterday. I went to older granddaughter's field hockey game and then to older grandson's soccer game. It was cold windy and rainy/misty and nothing was cancelled. (I am still confused if cancelled has two l's or one. I see it both ways.) Can't say grandma did not make an effort!
Nothing planned today except for maybe going along to the Outer Banks clinic to get staples out of grandson's head and maybe looking around in Duck. We are going to rent a house again around the holidays. Getting back on the horse so to speak, since that is where I had "the heart attack". The same house is available but no one wants to go back to that one. We will stay in the same area called the Good Seasons.
So that is it from my neck of the woods. I wonder if they have heat here! Brrrrrrrrrrr!

Good morning Patty & Nancy,
Patty, Your post left me feeling calm inside and peaceful.

Card club night does sound like fun, Deb. It is always good to get together with adults...LOL! It is hard to get together especially with this time of year. Our little chapter of Red Hats has a very hard time scheduling meetings and fun things to do because of it. Lives sure are complicated these days.
I always smile when I see your siggy...jumping in the leaves brings back so many memories of my childhood and my childrens'.

Good morning Miss P and all.

Good Afternoon.
It's a sunny, chilly and windy day here on LI. Thanks for the picture and the message. It's one I need today. For whatever reason I have a storm churning away on the inside. I'm not exactly sure what's triggering it but it has me jumpy and feeling very anxious. DH even noticed and I really just can't explain it. Emotions are running very high as well and found myself almost in tears at the nail salon. Inner angst I guess.
Anyway, I had intended to get up early and start on the things that didn't get accomplished yesterday. Apparently my body had different thoughts and I slept until 7:30. A late time for me. Although my body appreciated it, my mind has been whirling and twirling since then. I spent a long time on the phone with DD this morning. She shot pictures for a co-worker and friend of hers that got married yesterday. The girl had her Dad pass away unexpectedly about 2 weeks ago and she's been having some health issues of her own which after ruling out some serious things she decided to wait until after the wedding for more testing. In spite of everything, DD said the wedding was very nice and the bride really seemed to enjoy everything about the day. We also started talking about their big new purchase. The sellers are taking the refrigerator, washer and dryer so they're going to have a few major expenses going into this. They're both very level headed and DD manages her money extremely well so I think they'll be fine. Just Mom worries as moms usually do. I sure do wish I could hop in the car and drive up there to see the place first hand.
The grocery shopping is done. I went and had my nails done which if nothing else is has a calming effect on me. It must be something in the hand massage and the little back massage they do while the nails are drying. I've tried to sit and read but I'm too antsy so instead I've been cooking up a storm. Probably not the best hobby to have! I've made pumpkin raisin bread, a marinara sauce bubbling away for chicken cutlet parm for dinner and what's know as an oldfashioned applesauce walnut cake. You make it in the crockpot and it's based on an old depression recipe. It will be interesting to see how it comes out. Laundry has been twirling, whooshing and swirling away in the washer and dryer since this morning. Hopefully I'll be pretty well caught up on that before the work week begins once again. Otto and I will head out into the late afternoon sunshine for a walk and I have "Leatherheads"as my Netflix movie so I may entertain myself with that this evening. Bills still have to be paid as I started to hyperventilate this morning when I thought one of the student loan bills was overdue and then I realized I still have a few more days. The top of my desk is covered in a mountain of paper once again. Another project. If I'm really ambitious I could tackle the mountain of ironing instead of ironing something in the morning when I need it. Not sure I feel like tackling that.
Well I'd better rifle through the paper mountain and get those pesky bills paid. Hope you all are enjoying a pleasant day.
