Oh Snow!

PICT5064.JPGGuest Blog Entry. From my wonderful husband (who is writing this introduction as well):
Well the snow continues to fall and we are loving it! Schools, including PSU are closed, and it is Valentine’s Day! We had a lovely lunch of roast lamb shank, sparkling red grape juice, and a lovely desert. Even Elizabeth’s roses arrived via FedEx!

The snow is too deep for sledding now and is quite heavy (although only about 12-14″) because there is a layer of sleet that fell last night. The driveway has been shoveled to the half-way mark twice now (and an inch has accumulated on that portion just in the last hour while having lunch!). It is hard work but I console myself that it is far more fun and less anxiety inducing than boarding windows and sandbagging doors.

So if you are in the snow, stay warm and stay safe! Enjoy it with folks you love and be sure to make a snow angel, at least once this year! (And if you can’t manager that, try a snow angle.)

Something to think about

Thank you Melissa, for forwarding this to me today. I have been thinking a lot about the neat women who filled the stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Penn St. Lady Lions basketball team hosted a “Think Pink” game and everyone was dressed in pink. During half time the court was filled with breast cancer survivors and their families. It was inspiring and I haven’t stopped thinking about them.

Attitude

There once was a woman who woke up one morning,
looked in  the mirror,
and  noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
Well,”  she said, “I think I’ll braid my hair today?”

So she  did and she had a wonderful day.

The next  day she woke up,looked in  the mirror
and saw  that she had only two hairs on her head.
“H-M-M,”  she said,
“I think I’ll part my hair down the middle today?”

So she  did and she had a grand day.

The next  day she woke up,looked in  the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. “Well,”  she said, “today  I’m going to wear my hair in a pony tail.”

So she  did and she had a fun, fun day.

The next  day she woke up, looked in  the mirror and noticed that there wasn’t a single hair on her head.
“YEA!”  she exclaimed,
“I  don’t have to fix my hair today!”

Attitude  is everything.Be kinder  than necessary,for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of  battle.

Live  simply,
Love generously,
Care  deeply,
Speak  kindly…….

Leave the  rest to God.
