Its almost here and I am a little too excited. I’ve never had a ‘real’ winter before. I may have an attitude adjustment once it actually gets here, though. I’ve never had snow up to my butt before so it’s a 50/50 deal – may love it or hate it. We shall see.
I need to spend the day making sure that I am ready for it. I have to remember to keep phones charged up in case the power goes out. It is a relief to know that the regulars here don’t usually drive in snow storms so it isn’t important that I know how.
I am guessing that I need to keep my excitement about the coming snow to myself. The locals already know think I am may be crazy. I think they’re crazy at times, too. I’m in layered clothing while they’re still in shorts and hoodies when the sun is shining.
I don’t understand how G and his co-workers handle this weather. They are in it, working. I can handle about an hour next to the water. They work on the water, all day long, no matter the weather (unless the winds are too high).
G is feeling much better today. Not 100% but is back at work today. Thank goodness it wasn’t the flu or anything that lasted too long. He was down for the count for a couple of days. I hate that I can’t ‘fix’ it when someone is sick like that.
I am also glad for selfish reasons. I miss his hugs, his smiles and yes, his kisses. He hibernates when he doesn’t feel well.
I have a new friend. We shall call her B. She is totally awesome. From the moment I met her, we laugh a lot. She says that I am an inspiration to her. That’s sweet but I think she has it backward. She inspires me, and I think I just amuse her. Either way, I am grateful to have her in my life.
I wish, oh how I wish, that I could capture the beauty of the ocean with my camera. Those that have not experienced it, well, you can’t get the essence of it all from a picture or even a video. I am so blessed to be able to sit on my front porch and hear the ocean waves as they break on the beach. The sight, sound and smell – beyond any words I can find. A little piece of heaven to me.
I am totally, awesomely and intensely moved by my love for my children. I love you L, A, E, M, I and baby J! Hope everyone is doing great and smile more than you frown!
