January 9, 2024

Another picture of the snow from yesterday.  Today, though, is going to be something.  This morning the temperature is 25 degrees and snow is forecast for a couple hours.  

By noon the temperature will be in the high 30's and a ton of rain is forecast from noon until 4am at which time the temperature will be 54 degrees!

Again, this is January in the northeast...the weather is not supposed to behave this way.  The past year was again the hottest year on record.  Things don't look very good for our 'big blue boat'.  I don't really understand why folks aren't more upset about this...

On another note, do you realize that January is almost a third gone.  For me, again, time feels like it is going much too fast.  Do you feel that way also?  Or is time, for you, dragging?

Have you finished setting up your goals for the year?  I have mine mostly in place.  Still thinking about some of the smaller goals that I may want to pursue this year.

One of the goals that I hope you consider is one that focuses on you.  Maybe it's spending more time crafting or reading or even resting.  For a healthy year, it is important that you consider yourself central to everything you do and take care of yourself in whatever way is needed.

Well, I have put in my 30 minutes on the bike, it's time to do the strength and balance routine before getting to today's to-do list.  Left-overs for dinner so no cooking today.  Plans are to work on the boxes, sorting what to keep and what to donate and repacking, straightening up and then reading and crafting!  

What about you...how is your day shaping up?  Be sure to take some time for yourself when you can and don't forget to add in some exercise.  It's important for you health...both mentally and physically!

Talk with you tomorrow...
