highlights of the day

Recommended Posts

A long preamble to a highlight.

 

I got home last Sunday from a wonderful trip away. Great driving weather both ways, lovely visits with family, reconnecting with some old and new friends, and a very important life lesson began to take shape in my mind.

 

I was home for one day before receiving word of yet another death in my family, so I am back home again tonight after having been out of province yet again. I was sitting here just feeling blue and down when a good friend gave me the following simple reminder.

 

We can be thankful, at least in my case, that I have a home, I have heat and food, I have family and friends, and I am alive and well.

 

Thanks for that important reminder that puts things in perspective, and this is my highlight of the day.

No more rep points to give out tonight. That's what I get for being away for awhile. ): Good to see you here, bud, and having you here is a highlight for a bunch of us.

Today is my Me-Day. Every week I try to set aside one day strictly for me. Today I'm going to mail my Christmas cards (and hope they arrive on time), do a little shopping for me, and watch Christmas movies later on tonight, all cozy in my home. :)

Being amazed at how your perspective changes with age:

 

A couple hours ago, I was in Byward Market, St-George St. My husband and I were there to get a young local man and his truck home safe after a night of clubbing. It was around closing time, so there were people and cops everywhere.

 

I couldn't help but notice that everywhere I looked were young women wearing very little on their lower bodies. Nothing but bare skin from the ankles to the asscheeks!! Brrr!!!!

 

On the other side of the coin, I noticed not a single young man wearing shorts.

 

Hmmmm....

I woke up this morning and needed to run some errands. I was dreading it... I looked outside and saw the rain and knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that my car would be frozen solid. I listened to the CBC news podcast, The Current, and then finally ventured into the kitchen to make myself some tea.

 

Upon entering the kitchen I was shocked, I looked outside to see my car completely cleaned of all ice, snow, and rain! My next door neighbour is such a sweetheart! He did this once last winter too. What a wonderful gesture! I baked banana bread for him and just knocked on his door a few moments ago. He said "Oh Nathalie, don't even worry about it!" but still, it was just so nice of him.

 

Definitely the highlight of my day!

Someone who doesn't know me well confused me with my friend's daughter and I for being sisters when we were shopping in the mall. Nice to know someone thinks I still look like I'm in my 20's. Great compliment.lol.

I spent a good part of the day today touching base with friends both inside and outside of Cerb, using email, PM's and the telephone.

 

I am absolutely delighted this evening to see Samantha Evans back with us and for many of us I am sure that it is like an early Christmas present. We missed you.

I`ve got a real 7 foot Christmas tree in my house and it smells great! Now I just have to decorate it because I`ve been busy with work. I`m officially in the Christmas spirit! :)

I am the proud owner of a six inch tree keeping up my tradition of putting it up along with one door knocker as I am not home for Christmas.

I dragged the tree off the top of my SUV 2 days ago when it was snowing and slushing and literally had water seeping all over my hardwood floor after I brought it in. It took about 10 towels to mop it all quickly. Daily water and a can of gingerale will keep this tree going for a while. I'll post pic when I'm done decorating. lol.

Cozy blanket, a new highly recommended book, hot chocolate and a furbaby will take up my afternoon before tonight's rendezvous. :)
