Ha ha ha ha ha ha! I'm not laughing at John Steinbeck, but at the oh, so appropriate title to describe this winter here.
I made a trip to the library yesterday, and stocked up on some good literature to read. I decided to delve into some great authors, and hope to improve my writing. Not to mention I may have lots of time if we do get snowed in this weekend.
I had to hand split whatever wood we had last night. It was getting dark and the temperatures were about 10°F or so. I split wood until we couldn't find anymore suitable for splitting. Hubby was that sick, and could not help. Not to mention we did not have the wood splitter (someone else was borrowing it). Son was at work, so it was us girls. We now have enough for today and possibly tonight. Let's just say I slept really good last night.
Today I am grateful for:
~getting to sleep in (oh so nice!)
~hot coffee already brewed when I did get up
~the sun shining
~for leftovers tonight
~being able to hear out of my right ear
~for essential oils
~a working washing machine
~for freelance writing opportunities
~for raw honey
~hot herbal teas

When we first moved up here, I spent many winter mornings outside cutting enough wood for that day. I even had a small chainsaw that was easy for me to handle.
Ugh, so sorry to hear your hubby has really been laid low. That's the pits. It's remarkable how difficult and ugly-bugly life seems when you're sick.
As for Napoleon Hill . . . a big, fat RASSSTHPPBERRIES!!
Have a good one, dear Kristina, and always keep your wonderfully up-beat outlook.
Sorry your hubs is under the weather again. Hope he heals soon.
God bless.
