Blog 365- 1/1/23

-

 As I was reading some of the blogs that I follow today, I came upon a challenge that I find will certainly bring some fun and maybe new friends into my blog world. I would love to see this community grow and prosper here as it has in the past. Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom has suggested a Blog 365 and I have anxiously and excitedly decided to join in. 

Blog 365 will be a group of bloggers that decide to post something daily on our blogs. A photo, a post, a tip, or even just a quick inspiration will all make this community grow. I hope many more of you will hop over to her post and join as well. Let's make 2023 the year that our community grows! Let's make new friends and share some positive words and encouragement along the way.


My post for this is going to be to encourage everyone to be a little kinder and more respectful of each other. Let's be sure to share in others' grief and allow them to know that we care. So many of us get caught up in our daily lives and we seem to forget that others have problems that are worse than ours. Maybe that grumpy customer in line in front of us has struggled with an inconsolable toddler today or lost a loved one or has struggled without being able to feed their children. Smile and say HI might just change their entire day.


BE KIND!!!!!!

    Wonderful quote! There's a big painting/banner in one of the preschool classrooms where I work that says Kindness matters. Reading your post made me think of that. Happy New Year!

  The Boxcar Children (The Boxcar Children, #1) by   Gertrude Chandler Warner ,   L. Kate Deal   (Illustrator) Carol Slater 's review Jan 31, 2024   ·    edit it was amazing A Classic! I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic.

I decided to start with the first book in the series and I will read the entire series again this month as long as time allows. The Boxcar Children is about a group of 4 orphans that are siblings.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
