Seeing the goodness in others and also in myself.Forget looking for faults.
Thankful that I am on the road back to health even if it means these nasty little pills that actually make me feel sicker.
I woke up in the dark listening to the heavy rain and gusting wind and thankful I could snuggle down in my warm bed for a while longer.
Grateful that we still have power and the heat will come on as I turn up the thermostat.
Laughing at Haiti as she prances around to let see me and she is ready to go for a walk. We come home soaking wet but dad meets us at the door with a dry towel for Haiti as rush to the bathroom!
I enjoy watching the happiness of others. The wonder and excitement on young faces. Watching Kim preparing chowder for our supper even though she will not be here. She puts a lot of energy into making it just right. How good to share it with Carol who drove through a dark and windy night to be with us.
Every act of kindness that others do for me is a joy to receive.
Too sick to my stomach to be at church.
I think that it is important to live out your beliefs and in doing so there is healing for the heart and soul!

For someone who is suffering from the side effects of the drug you have to take, you sure write a cheery blog! There is a lot of goodness in you, Beth! How wonderful to hear you are on the road to good health . I keep you and Larry in my prayers! I hope that you feel better really soon and don't get that darned infection again. Drink lots of water!
We are just watching the storm in BC.....hope you continue to keep the power on...it gets cold pretty quickly without power.
Isn't Kim amazing, making you chowder and doing cleaning and cooking for you? Good for her! That would be such a big help for you.
Acts of kindness .....I was waiting to park in a parkade at a clinic where they charge an arm and a leg for parking...$2.50 for a half hour....the lady who was leaving got out of her car and gave me her ticket which had an hour left on it....it was much appreciated. I passed it along when I saw the denturist later in the day and took him and his lovely receptionist tim's doughnuts. I saw a lady in Safeway buying lot of Visa gift cards to give to the poor....I wish I could do that too. But I volunteer my time.
My neighbours little Maltese, Pixie is here again. She spends the afternoons sleeping on the blanket on the couch...has supper with us and then wants to go home .....she is staring at me and making small sounds....so funny. They sadly neglect her and we have offered to give her a good home, but NO! We may offer to buy her and hope she will sell her.
Crazy weather here still...temperatures around freezing creating ice fog and freezing drizzle on the highways and makes arthritis very sore. I wish it would get cold, where it should be.
Well have a good evening, sleep well,
Love, Nancy
We had a fun day at the shelter, well not really! I was being strong and not getting emotional but then I looked at Randy and he burst into tears. They quickly shuffled us off to a private room to say good bye to the kittens.
They are all a very nice bunch of people and seem to put a lot of effort into finding just the right home for the kittens.
Mandi has found a small older apartment in Kitsilano that is a 25 minute walk to her work. She will be moving there January first. She is a little leery of this new chapter in her life, never having lived on her own.
Bit of drama with Mary and Shawna & Stephen today. Lots of tears and lots of hurt feelings. Feeling very overwhelmed on how to fix things. I am hoping in the end everyone realizes that the intention was never to hurt. This is when I wish life was more like a sitcom. There was be a resolution by the end of the 1/2 show and it is all forgotten by the next episode.
Now I am off to the party. Feeling overwhelmed by that as well as I just do not know if I fit in any where with these ladies, but I have to give it a try.
Sandra
Well you and Randy have been very good godparents to those sweet little guys. The world
needs more people like you two!!
I hope Mandi gets used to the new life and neighborhood - i'm sure she will love it
in that area in time!
Not sure what it was with the kids - but ones feeling can sure be hurt without trying.
Are there a lot of new women at work - I think you can fit in with anyone.
Have a great time tonight - an don't worry - it is always a wste of time !!
your loving Father
love dad
To be honest Nancy by cheerfulness did not last.
I find most people so very kind at this time of year.
We had our down filled comforter cleaned and the man said he would bring it home for me. I have been waiting all week but he meant as I found out yesterday bring it home to his house which is on our street. So I will pick that up today.
I hope things improve for Sandy and Randy as they really did a wonderful job with the kittens. They now have a great start in life!
love beth
