Ha! It's 65 here and I'll wear shorts if it's over 60! I've got a glass of water in one hand and a note saying, "All is well in the other!" Hopefully my lesson building session is on the wane, at least for now. They need to create an emoticon sighing and wiping his brow in relief... then one drinking a glass of water doing the banana flower dance!
Spent about an hour on the beach Sunday all by myself. It's crazy the bay looked frozen over four days ago, then suddenly the ice was broken up and floating over on the eastern shore. Yesterday I found something great for relieving stress.... a leaf blower. I'm serious! The motel has an electric one, so I wasn't expecting much, turning it on I blew away the snow shovel, a broom and sent the heavy outside mat flying! It was great! I started giggling like a crazy person(Sandy I was dropped on my head too) As averse as I am to the noise and grinding of the snowblower, the leaf blower is now my new best friend! Imagine what it could do in cleaning a room! Not only would dirt be a thing of the past, I bet it could be an alternative to using the dryer too. "Pachoo!!!" Send a sheet flying up into the air, by the time it came down it would be dry, pressed and heck why not even folded?... I think I've got some serious brain storming to do.
Meanwhile, my heart is lighter and the smile back on my face. I'm breathing deeply, drinking plenty of water(while gazing at the water) and grateful for all the help and helpers that surround me. Time to get back at it!
Love,
Kim
Let me know if you master the drying and folding of sheets and I'll be a customer for life! I was wrestling with one of those for the neighbour girl yesterday, trying to get it off the clothesline and not let it touch the ground yet still get it folded into some kind of reasonable order. I finally gave up and just rolled it up as best I could. 
Along with painting, mowing, making reservations... well' you know... everything. 
Just look at the skills gained this past year all the office stuff, learning to plow, using a snow blower, redicovering a leaf blower! Why before long I'll know how to do EVERYTHING! 
We bring writings we've been working on for the last month, also work on an exercises at the meeting, sharing them with the group. I brought five poems and shared a key word in each of them with every other member there. Also when we arrived my friend Marie Elana explained what she'd been going through over the past month, 
it was a crazy parallel to what I'd been experiencing, all of my writings reflected the same feelings, it was a little crazy! 
My sister also was going through similar experiences and feelings at the same time. I realized the pattern and felt it was all for clearing old garbage we we're holding on to. Even though I knew what it was all about, it seemed I had to go through the process. This is where I sigh heavily in relief and feel grateful for getting to the other side of it.
. Have a wonderful day!

They don't miss a thing and probably already have it sized and measured for their dinner one night soon. Who can be mad at them though. Such wonderful cheeky birds!
