It’s 8 feels like -12 with a high of 9 and more snow coming later this morning. Insight Timer Quote: Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it. Axe Sharpening: The harder the journey, the more you learn about yourself.-- Ty Russ 1st Phorm Elite Trainer I AM: I determine my limits and then break them. Action for Happiness: Congratulate someone for an achievement that may go unnoticed. Fitness quote for today: The training that matters the most is when no one else is looking.—Ragnar Motivational quote for today: Everything is possible when you are surrounded by people who love and support you. Closed all rings (hearts) on my Active 4 and had 10,592 steps yesterday. Training plan for today: At Home SYLL Shoulders/Triceps after breakfast.

This used to be my view from work - snow or no snow !! Today looks beautiful !! @Dianedoessmiles1 there's your snow where it should be LOL My daughter took this picture this morning and I borrowed it. All credit goes to Dionne for this shot.. I am no where near the mountains right now !!

My journey out this morning was uneventful compared to yesterday but it was still slippery in some places and I did have a slip but able to control it. Two places were hard to navigate through the snow - those were roads and where big dump trucks left their tracks that were a couple of feet deep! I had to be careful not to fall in those as I was carrying my new glasses home and I just finished paying for them. It might take a bit to get used to them and adjust my reading point. I sure can read from a distance now something I was not able to do before but upclose seems blurry so it must be where the lenses adjust and I just have to let my brain figure that out and send the right signals LOL The glasses are much bigger then what I am used to in the lense so that also will take an adjustment. Plus they slip a little so might have to get the arms ends adjusted again but I can go back and she can do that. There was just me and her in the place, very quiet. Then I went to Safeway and picked up some stuff - we have a really bad storm coming through again tonight through the weekend with snow, freezing rain and then rain on top but the temps will be back to 45 and not the 18 it is now - my poor thighs were frozen when I got home LOL Never been so glad to feel the heat in this apartment !!

@bookieNJ I hear you there, no way would I do 60 neighbours either - We do have "snow angels" volunteers who go around and shovel walks here I saw a news report on that. Never saw them here, but for my building the walks are clear - actually my whole street is clear!
@Tabatha_Cain here the person for mandating masks won't do it now because we have all been vacinated and they are trusting that will see us through any flu we get. Howevr, personal safety should always come first. I wear my mask too when in certain settings. My son wears his and no one says anything, they all know he has MS so it's outside folks who are always asking him for a mask, they think he should provide them, not a chance. The best defence for you is to sanitize your hands, washing for at least 35 seconds, I think it is, and don't touch your face. Well guess what, we are creatures of habit and we DO touch our face. I try to always wash my hands when I come in from being out shopping especially self service machines and such as those no longer get wiped down. I hope the weather does not impede your plans, but maybe have a secondary plan you can live with just incase it is not safe to travel. I hope today went well for you !
@macrat12 good to see your post !! Hope you like your new computer/laptop!!
@Dpecora653 yes there is always something to be thankful for, like getting home safely or just to see a sunrise, sunset, and watching the birdies play outside.
I need to go fix lunch now then I got a sinkful of dishes to clean up !! I was doing mushrooms today, clean, quarter, steam and freeze on parchment papered cookie sheet, it lets me have mushrooms when ever I need them!!

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is a super cold day. I have a lot to get done today. My Fiance has his colooscopy today. We have to go there and get that done today. Then I think we are just relaxing at his parents house for a bit while he recovers. Tomorrow we will head back to the house for Christmas on Sunday.

@LindieMaeP - That is a beautiful photo. I love the new glasses. Sorry you had to walk in the cold.
@bookieNJ - I hope the roads are good too. I definitely don't want people to not be able to show up. I want to be able to have a good Christmas.

Well it is time to get something to eat. I feel bad for eating in front of my fiance when he cannot eat. Have a great day

Tabatha
