How fascinating the other side of the world is! Here I am keeping cool under my grass roof and listening with joy to the distant thunder which will bring a welcome shower of spring rain. I am sure it lovely to sit around a fire though. Warm wishes to you and your doggos!Eleanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185383497671795758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-33578576850938079792008-10-30T13:03:00.000-03:002008-10-30T13:03:00.000-03:00Sometimes when our Apple is cranky, we call her Cr...Sometimes when our Apple is cranky, we call her Crab Apple.

He disappeared and his number was disconnected. But, my friend's husband, who has become my workin' man for hire is also a wood cutting man. Lucky me! He brought me two cords to add to the one I had left from last year. NOW I feel safe and secure. Like you, I'm going to rely more on wood than gas this winter. More effort....less money....more atmosphere!anyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330838836181706358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-5927173940893176392008-10-30T08:51:00.000-03:002008-10-30T08:51:00.000-03:00Susan, you have finally convinced me.

I have been feeling "rudderless" and lost and sad recently, and I think I need to learn to "be in the moment".<BR/>I've been wanting to write about it on my blog, but just can't find the words. So many blog writers (you included) are so eloquent in expressing their feelings, but I have not been able to do that. I appreciate the things you have shared. <BR/>Judyjudy in kyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810068743975026564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-45318164390976885882008-10-30T08:39:00.000-03:002008-10-30T08:39:00.000-03:00Willow Manor has a boiler, too.

But the point was I didn't NEED to treat myself to sugar to get out of that state of mind, I was able to use my mind to change my state of mind. A revelation.Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829970006543468066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-78174997903246722212008-10-30T06:56:00.000-03:002008-10-30T06:56:00.000-03:00Hi Susan,Tonight I was so disgruntled I had to get...Hi Susan,<BR/><BR/>Tonight I was so disgruntled I had to get out of this house. I stomped up to the cafe, a ten minute walk, and bought my self a sweet treat to take the edge off my mood. They put my treat in a little white paper bag for me and I walked home, still replaying my repetitive, annoying thoughts in my mind. As I neared the end of the path to my house, somehow a new thought came to me. <BR/><BR/>'Be in The Moment' <BR/><BR/>And then I was. I was there, on the path. The pink blossom tree was in front of me, the blossoms lightly bobbing up and down in the breeze. A tungsten glow was seeping out of the neighbour's window, casting curious night shadows all about. And there was I, having a moment in The Moment.<BR/><BR/>AND all that frustration just slipped away. Honestly! I really feel like a magic wand has been waved. <BR/><BR/>So, thank you, dear Susan for enforcing that belief about being in the moment in my mind. Hope you're proud of me : )<BR/><BR/>You certainly do deserve that glow of pride for keeping your boiler in tip top shape. That'll be a good house selling point ay? <BR/><BR/>What exactly is a boiler anyway? Something to do with heating I guess. Scary movies often seem to have a 'boiler room' in them. <BR/><BR/>Night!Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829970006543468066noreply@blogger.com
