It Is Cold!!!

Yes, It Is COLD!!!!!

There is frost on the pumpkin this morning------unless all the pumpkins are in the pies, that is!!! We can complain about the temperature or we can accept it. Not much we can do about changing it but there is much we can do about our attitude toward it. The cold bothers some more than it does others, that is true, and physical conditions can also play a part. I am a strong believer in mind over body. When we open the door to go outside and we expect to feel cold, we WILL. Continue dwelling on the fact and we will feel even colder. If we "scrunch" up we will soon be shivering. If we meet the condition head on and not even think about the temp, we will barely notice. Try it!!!!! It works!!!!

More thoughts concerning my "mind-over-body" comment. Are we not able to do the things we really want to do for the most part? How many times have you known someone who has had to cancel vacation plans or any other activity that they REALLY want to do compared to the times they miss going to a job that they really don't want to go to because they just didn't feel like doing it? I accept the fact that there are exceptions but again, I think our bodies listen to our minds much of the time.

Well, that is enough about my thoughts. Watch and see if I have to eat my words!!!

We had a good week-end and it was good to see Devin even if it was for only 30 minutes. It was long enough, however, to get a picture of him with his "GO HOGS" cap. He is now a died in the wool Arkie!!!! I didn't even get to fry the chicken for him so I will save it and fix it for Roger this week-end. How is that, Roger? (I don't have the pictures downloaded yet but you will see them soon.)

Kim, I understand there is some very bad weather close to you. I hope you are safe and warm. Many are without electricity and we can sympathize with them after the ice storm we had last January.

Love you,
