It's a Snowstorm out there.

1. It's a snowstorm outside and I don't have to go anyplace. The meeting at the church is cancelled, the gym at the middleschool is probably closed and it's warm in here, so that's where I will stay.
2. We still have some Ferrero Rondnoir chocolates that we got for Christmas . THey won't last long at the rate I am eating them.....Hmmmm maybe I should call the gym just to check.
3. This was Cindy's last day at work before she has a baby. I helped her carry some boxes to her car. I'm very grateful I am not expecting.

It's a Saturday

1. I'm thankful that Fred fixed my other old snow blower. He just unscrewed the bowl on the carburator and adjusted the float by a turn and a half. After dumping some gas right into the cylinder , it took off and worked like new. He said I should keep it as a spare in case mine ever quit.
2. Hey, my basketball team , the UNB Varsity Reds won a game against MUN. Well, at least the guys won. They were ahead the whole game , at one point up by 20 points, but MUN fought back to within 3 points with only 2 minutes to play. The girls didn't do so well and blew a big lead, but Hooray...It's the first time I have seen the guys win since 2007. They are a young team and I hope they do well this year.
3. I'm glad that Doris likes to wallpaper . I don't have the patience and skill to scrape off all the little bits and get the new stuff on straight. Hopefully by fixing the foundation under the garage the walls won't crack aagain.

Back to the Gym

• I went to the gym and did 18 laps or so around the track. That's about 3 Km or 2 miles.
• I'm thankful that the US had an election with a clear and popular winner this time. Uncertainty like we have in Canada is not good.
• I'm grateful that I don't have to come up with 3 things every time I add to this list.
• Uncle Lloyd . 86 years old and just as active as ever. I can't convince him to not climb the ladders up to the tin roof to scrape off the snow.

Getting Started

I just read that it is always good to document the things that you are grateful for. However, the study said that if you try to do it every day , it might get to be a bit of a burden, so I will try to do this on a random basis throughout 2009. Here goes with what I am grateful for so far this year.

• 1. I still have a job
  2. I don't need to wake anyone up inthe morning
  3. Fred fixed my snow blower for free
  4. I worked from home last week
  5. The storm yesterday was not bad and it’s not snowing on Jan 10
  6. The doctor pronounced me healthy on Jan 8
• And today, today I am grateful for spellcheckers
