Tuesday 4

 Winter Musings

 Hello and welcome once again to Toni's Tuesday 4, hosted by Annie!  Join in the fun by clicking HERE!

1. Do you find yourself a bit more lazy or tired as the nights get longer or does it not seem to do much to you? In general how are you doing this winter?

Once I'm used to it I'm okay.  I wish DST would go away.  I'm doing okay, Mr D and I are still trying to overcome whatever it is we have.  I'm happy to report we are much better, just still a lingering cough.

2. Do you appreciate the extra hours of dark that allow for more sleep, more leisure, less travel and hurry or not?

No, I don't like the extra hours of darkness,

 it makes me feel like a bear in hibernation.

3. I know I love a hot drink on a chilly evening and the quiet of the streets outside as people stay inside more on cold nights. I feel more relaxed in the winter. How about you?

I enjoy the winter, of course we don't have hard winters here on the Texas coast.  On occasion there will be a super cold front that brings freezing temps, but as a rule we don't get snow and ice. 

 

I love a cup of hot tea on a chilly winter night.

4. Do you ever gaze out of your window like Miss Kitty in the picture just watching the world go by? How do you find yourself relaxing on a chilly evening?

I do that more than I like, not because of the cold winter days but because of my health. {{sigh}} I'm so glad I have a Friend that encourages me daily. His name is Jesus♥

 What a friend we have in Jesus,

all our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

all because we do not carry

everything to God in prayer!

 Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Can we find a friend so faithful

who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

take it to the Lord in prayer!

Prayers for all in the path of the California fires.  Words can't express the hurt in my heart over that situation.

Blessings to All

Until Next Time

 We finally decided it was time to bring in the doctor!

Mr D and I just can't seem to kick this 'thing' we have so we've called in the troops.

Our PCP is wonderful and he did a televisit with us this morning, now we don't have to get out and that made us happy. We're not worse, we're just not better.  {{sigh}} It's time leave the OTC and get on something prescribed, ie anti-biotic.

I have a very special date on the 18th that I don't want to miss.  My GLOW group will be celebrating 10 years together. I haven't missed an anniversary yet and I sure don't want to miss now.

Friday Favorite:

My Friday Favorite has to be this picture of Henry taken Christmas morning when he first saw all the gifts under the tree from Santa!

"Grandchildren are the crown of the aged." – Proverbs 17:6
"A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty." – Unknown

Not a thing on my to-do list, so I'll be winging it today.  I think I'll just set and rock.

There in my Father's home, safe and at rest,
There in my Savior's love, perfectly blest;
Age after age to be,
Nearer my God to Thee.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!

Blessings to All

Until Next Time
