All of us, we make mistakes. And at times we are lost. And as we get older, we learn we don’t always have control of things — not even a president does. But we do have control over how we respond to the world. We do have control over how we treat one another.

Day 272: Album
I started working on my annual photo album tonight. If I had serious intentions of finishing it on time, I should have started it a while ago. So, I’m not going to stress over it, and I will not allow … Continue reading

Day 271: Choice Made Easy
I ordered our Christmas cards last night. Choosing a picture for the card was a simple matter this year. We hardly went anywhere or did anything over the course of the year, so I didn’t take as many pictures as … Continue reading

Who wants to walk in 20-degree weather? I do, apparently, or at least I didn’t let the cold stop me from walking yesterday or today. Parts of the driveway still have a coating of ice and snow, so I have … Continue reading

Day 265: All Good News
On Monday we had a storm with high winds and downpours. The wind nearly knocked our power out several times, and it did knock out the cable system, leaving us without Internet and home phone for the entire night. But, … Continue reading
Day 264: Springtails on Waterslides
On Thanksgiving we noticed that there were tiny bugs all over everything outside, including our trash and recycling bins, even our front door. It was an overcast day and none of the pictures I took turned out very good, but … Continue reading

Day 263: One Day Down
I took the Advent calendar out of storage last night. I was a little disappointed when I opened up the box and looked through the ideas that I had “paid forward” to myself back in January, because the pandemic has … Continue reading
