Pray for the Best! Plan for the Worst

So it begins, WAmily!

Once again, we are bracing for this winter freeze.

Winter has hit everyone this year! Texas is NO different.

2 weeks ago, we expected another freeze. Those that suffered the consequences have learned "What to do" and "What Not to do".

My last blog spoke of scheduling and making plans. I suggested flexibility for when emergencies may arise.

Now, is the time to adjust!

Schools Close!!

Tonight, we should see freezing temperatures, and we also have precipitation.

Schools have early dismissal, that has already begun. Texas school buses on ice are a disaster waiting to happen.

This reminds me of those, oh so infrequent words, that kids loved to hear in Michigan!

Snow days were an unexpected treat!

Back then, there was plenty of snow!

Making snow angels, snowman, and igloos were great outside fun!

Walking to friend's home, building a fire in the fireplace, and hot chocolate were all pleasant new activities.

What to Do When Your World Stops?

Here, in Texas, I don't see creating snowmen or angels, but there is plenty I can do!

Today, is a Plan B Day!

My schedule is Plan A, but what I actually get to do is Plan B.

Thursdays are my "free" day.

So far today, I've taken care of business on the phone, read a quarter of my coveted new book, and will cover plants, after getting dressed for this weather.

My pet is secure and right here with me!

I'll venture out later, again, once dressed for the weather to go to grocery store for a few items.

Since, we expected this last week, I'm already, pretty well, prepared for any inconvenience.

I didn't plan to write a blog, today, but sometimes, I just pick up and computer and start.

If the Spirit moves you, do it!

This is one of my secrets of survival.

How often do you get an idea for an action, you feel you must take, and then just sit there?

For me, this is often!

What's happens? Here comes that nagging voice of the inner me, starting to scream, "Just do it!"

So here I am, just doing it!

I've been meaning to call some of my out-of-state friends, and work on my website. Now, I have the afternoon, and all of this evening to do as I wish.

This evening, I'll spend some time on a WA training and make a big batch of Macaroni and Cheese!

Time for Gratitude

Instead of fearing for loss, I will stay in Gratitude, knowing that whatever is going on, ...

"This too, shall pass!"

Last night, close to midnight, just 2 doors down there was a firetruck and soon after an ambulance. Not sure what was going on, but I'm sure it was not good for my neighbors.

Firetruck left, but ambulance was there for at least a half hour. As I went off to bedd, flashing lights still lit up my walls.

I went to sleep in gratitude, with a prayer for my neighbor.

"Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now!"

We all go through up's and downs, but don't let anything get in your way!

"Aint No Stoppin' Us Now!"-McFadden&Whitehead

Hope you're all having a wonderful, Plan B day, and you just roll with whatever comes!

Nothing happens by mistake!

Just Don't let anything stop you from pursuing your Dreams!

Wishing you all the best and sending prayers!

I'm off to get a little exercise and Dance!

Music and Dance are great ways to shake up your Spirit!!

Best to all my WA friends.

Stay safe and warm if you're in this Winter storm and enjoy your sunshine, if that's what's around you for today!

We have today, and we are "Still Sucking Air"! :)

Love you all and God Bless!
