It’s the 6th day of the new year.  Can I say I am weary and Sheba is getting on my one nerve that is left?  She is the neediest dog ever, wanting to be stroked, cuddled and held 24/7, always nudging, cajoling.  Come on, come on!

Enough already, Sheba!  I’m trying to write.  Her hair is everywhere – stairs, living room, kitchen, on my keyboard.  What we put up with for our critters.  I hope my Roomba comes this week.  The severe weather has delayed its delivery.  I am seriously disappointed that it didn’t come today.

But life goes on and so does the cold.  It is still just January.  I better readjust my attitude and hold on.  There is still a lot more to come.  At least there’s sunshine and I have a warm home.  The fireplace is working.  The larder is full and the wine is fermenting.  What more can I ask for?

Okay, a cold wind is blowing but Mr. sun is still shining and the snow ever so white and clean.  The garden isn’t blooming but all the beauty and the potential is there.  Soon it will be time to order the seeds for planting. For now just sit back, relax and appreciate what is.
