Well said! Thanks Debbie for sharing this with us. I too look in the mirror and wonder how the years could possibly fly by so fasts! It is humbling for sure to realize my age and all the changes that have come with that process.

I sent off the newspaper pages Friday night and have felt relieved ever since. Today we walked around Chicago in the rain.
 The girls and I also went to the Museum of ice cream. I dipped in the sprinkle pool.

Vanessa, what a great photo!
Looks like they are getting the road ready for some snowfall. I don't think we will get any amount until Sunday. I guess I'll have to enjoy when we get it. I didn't get my white Christmas this year.

My girlfriend in Colorado sent me this this morning so I thought I would share it with all of you. A wonderful daily affirmation for myself.
As you step over the threshold of time into a new year, receive this blessing: May health return to you if it has been absent and abide with you if it is present; May the challenges you face be easier than you imagined and the surprises you discover more joyful than you expected; May your love touch many lives and your compassion offer hope to even more; May peace surround you like the hours of a day and wisdom guide you with eyes that never close.
-Rt Rev Steven Charleston
Big Hugs,
Debbie

Anyone doing the Jan pantry challenge? No eating out, cooking from scratch and using what foods in your house/garden. I am limiting trips to grocery store to once every 2.5 weeks and keeping buys at $25 or less on that visit. No impulse buys-eh? I may need to go to farmer's market for eggs and salad greens. We were in Spartansburg for an appt. Decided to make quick trip inside store to use bathroom. On way out I noticed honey(made in Traveler's Rest SC on special. This stuff is $20 a jar, but it was marked down to $4.99 a jar. Oh I grabbed 2 jars. And there were bags of shredded carrots for 99 cents, bag of kale salad also 99 cents and 4 pack of avacado mash 99 cents. How could I pass up the deals.
Today's good mood brought to you by a lot of coffee!!!

Tara, I have not heard of the Jan Pantry Challenge, but I can see where it is a good idea for any month. You scored some really great buys.

No need to go to the store as the snow moved in. I have everything needed to last months.
Today hubby and I canned. Long morning and my hands hurt. Good food for pantry. Dinner: cheese burger, collards and corn from 2024 garden.

Looks like everyone is off to a positive 2025! I love cooking at home and eat out of our pantry all the time. When you cook at home, you can use real food, and make healthier options.

Driving home from Walmart and bam. I knew I hit something, pulled over and saw this=ohhh. I thought I could make it home, nope. I had to drive a bit to find a flat area to pull off road, not easy when in the sticks. I called my husband and he found me. No one stoppped to help, even the mail carrier drove around me. I am not strong enough to change a tire. This has NEVER happened to me. Not a good start to 2025. The pin is 5 1/2 inches long.

Oh Tara that is terrible. I am like you, I know how to change a tire but also know I am not strong enough, especially to get the lug nuts off. Happy your husband found you, I hope you did not have to wait to long. Shame on all those who passed you by:-)
Big Hugs,
Debbie

Oh no Tara so glad your husband could take care of it for it. I guess there are very few good Samaritans around these days.

It's sad but good people are afraid to stop nowadays. I recall once running out of gas and getting in a car with a unknown man who offered to take me to the gas station several miles away. Absolutely no way would I do that now. Trusting strangers seems to be a thing of the past.
