Another cold morning and the snorchestra from the other side of the bed has allowed me some quiet moments in another room to plan my day. With a predicted high temperature of nearly zero, leaving our cozy home for errands is not too appealing. As a child, the temperature outside was never a consideration, but these days cold, snow and ice makes me think twice about heading outside. I prefer my bones to remain in the places they are and not be jostled nor broken while I traverse the yard in search of something.
Only a few weeks ago we vacationed in a warmer climate, basking in sunshine and enjoying tropical ‘adult’ beverages…those memories with good friends, laughter and lively discussions warm me today. I marvel at how my mind works, how it stores information to be utilized in routine tasks (like making meals, operating the dishwasher, driving the car) and yet can fail me when I want to recall someone’s name or a book I’ve just read! But I digress…warm weather memories have assisted in my planning to spend the day enjoying my watercolors, putting brush, paint and water to paper and try to capture a tropical moment from our travels.
Thank you Lord, for giving me this new day and opportunity to express myself in new ways. I am blessed!
