Apricity Saturday!
Oh sunshine, how great you feel on my face. Yeah, windy showed up today too but she has nothing on you …… at least until later.
Another winter day fully loaded up!
A couple of walks and a little time spent out on the balcony. Kinda like a dream ……
Once back inside, Eddie is curled up next to me. I adjust the music a little louder so my baby can  dream to the sounds of the piano.

Now about last nite ……
I took an early shower and got cosy on the sofa with Eddie in between my legs and he was out in seconds. And as I thought I was going to watch a Dateline episode, the next thing I know I woke up and it’s 9:00. The show started at 8:00. I maybe saw about 20 minutes of it, if that. (But streaming TV sure does have it’s advantages).
Anyhoo, I got Eddie up for his last outing (he wasn’t happy about it), and we were back inside each tucked in our own beds with lights out by 9:30.
Man some ‘hot’ date I would make. Ha!
Now Eddie is still on his med’s, not sure what’s gotten into me.
But I sorta kinda think it’s all the walking and fresh air we are getting.
Me likey!

I keep busy, cleaning or sometimes just a little organizing so naps have not been happening and maybe that is why I am an early to bed girl.
TBT though, I want to stay up a little later. I have some great champagne and finger foods to enjoy this winter weekend so hopefully I will!
Of course I am definitely enjoying my sleep every nite. And when Eddie barks to wake me up, I am ready to start our day. The little boy waits so patiently as I prepare myself for the cold blast outside.
I remove his onesie and put on his harness and he waits for me to pick him up.
I have let him walk down the stairs a few times but block his path so he doesn’t skip a step and  overextend himself. When we return, I prefer to carry him back up the stairs. He is still healing.

So after chatting with a friend this morning we both agreed, this winter blast makes us want to cook some nice warm meals, watch some football and thank God for life. It’s a Sturmfrei feeling, this Saturday and we are having some fun, for sure.
After breakfast, I did a little organizing. Washed all Eddie’s bed linens and then while that was going, pulled out the shredder and got busy. I’ve always been an organizer but when you do have limited space, you don’t really want to postpone getting things done. At least that’s me. I didn’t have a whole lot to shred but it’s done!
Love the feeling of accomplishment and completion.
It ‘centers’ me!
Hey, we are all wired differently, that’s for sure. And isn’t that amazingly cool! Life would be so boring if we were all the same. No one will ever call me a copy cat. I hear music differently, dance differently and I am different.
Boom!

You know life is so unpredictable. Why not find the beauty …… in everything. Wintering has taught me this. I will accept the gift of life and aging (not that I will go quietly) because as I said before aging won’t define me, but I will accept the peacefulness and natural cycle of life.
After all what is the alternative.
Oh my …… my ‘rose’ color glasses fit so nicely today. Ha!
You do you …… I do me!
It’s Apricity Saturday and I will rejoice in it.
Namasté.
Dear Lord, Please continue to build my strength, patience and trust in Your timing. May You continue to fill me with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Amen.
