10:00AM

I had nice online chats with Floriana and MaryJo last evening and then went up to bed around 9:00PM. I got a lot done yesterday. If felt really good to have a schedule and to be able to check things off as I accomplished them. But man oh man, whas I beat at the end of the day.

Roy and I had eggs for breakfast which is our usual breakfast on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I really had to push myself to get out the door with Corbin for our walk in the King's forest. It was just below freezing so he wasn't muddy when we got home and thus a bath was not necessary.

I just noticed that I hadn't flipped the calendar in my study yet to March. It is a great calendar with area sceens done in water colors by Roger Ferreira. This month's sceen is the Carnegie Gallery in Dundas. Thank you to my friend Jean and gave the calendar to me for my birthday.

I have another desk calendar with daily quotes from the book, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff . . . , Yesterday's quote reminded me of my friend Michelle and I posted it on her Facebook wall. It said, "Enthusiasm is that spark of energy and sense of interest and inspiration that ignites effort, good ideas, intention, creativty, and hard work."

Today's quote said, "Enthusiastic people are imaginative, inspirational, and just plain fun to be around." I sent this one to my friend, Rachel.

One of my affirmations on which I reflected states, "My work is for the benefit of the whole world . . . my work is my love poured out." After I'd written it on the page of my journal I realized the watermark on the page was that of a water drop on water and the ripples it makes. How fitting an image to apply to all that we do everyday. All of our actions have an impact on someone who in turn makes an impact on another person's life.

OK. It's been a long day with lots accomplished. We had a great dinner. We had a wonderful "Winetini" followed by pot stickers for an appitizer. I then prepared a fantastic pork stir fry with zuchini, mushrooms and a bit of pineapple over brown rice. Desert was lemon pudding cake with berry frozen yogurt.

Signing of for another day.
