Sometimes something amazing happens. An answer to prayer shows up so unexpectedly.
Today I found out I can afford my cataract surgery. My daughter by marriage told us she’s sent the money. I’m blown away. I’ve been crying off and on all day.
But I did just nap. Why do I sleep better during a nap than any time during night?
Somewhere there has to be research proving how to important naps can be.
That time when my babies slept became a ritual for me. When I went back to work, I had a boss who shut down the office. He’d close himself in his office and told me to rest in mine. It certainly made a productive day. We never had that difficult after two time.
Twenty minutes is all I need. In fact, longer than that I’d get grumpy and sluggish.
That same boss set up walk time, too. I wished I could have afforded to raise four teens alone on $8 an hour for part-time. It was a fun job that I learned a lot.
For a little old lady puppy, Kali breaks my heart with cute. For some reason, she looks like a little hand puppet as she climbs into bed at night.
A gift my hubby bought both of us. Not the expensive, does everything Fitbit, but it does keep track of the basics. Now I just need to get used to wearing it. And then it needs to be warmer than 32 outside so walks won’t hurt.
This weekend we might get rain. I’m thinking wellies, raincoat and umbrella and rain dance of thankfulness.Hopeful.
My mission for Fridays is to have something accomplished. Some weeks I don’t even come close to a finished product. This week, there are a few things I’m proud of. Even though close is all I got.
Probably will finish tomorrow on another scrappy slipper socks for charity, using up some small skeins.Only a couple empty ‘drill’ spots. I’ll do those before bed. Tomorrow I will ‘Mod Podge’ and paint the border. Then I will look at my next project. Try painting? Sunset beach Diamond Painting? Rock painting? So many artsy-fartsy things to try!Finish of a perfect day, including a mile walk with Kali.
Now I just need to find music time!

Along with plenty of water, salad and salmon, another important part of my daily diet is a small bit of dark chocolate. A diet should have some yum, don’t you think?
I choose that square nearest my left side of my hair. Just above the double heart.

Wow! Can you believe we are back to January in a year that can look like this Y2K22? Beginning Just Jot it January, again, a prompt to write on everyday. Today’s blends with the Stream of Consciousness Saturday with the word prompt appropriate for the day, resolve.
Resolve according to Dar’s silly dictionary is to repeatedly solve. Which is how we all continue an insanity every year. Resolutions have been proven unsuccessful most of the time.
My friend and I choose to sit and write out possibilities. Last year I saw a possibility of getting healthier. It took the whole year adjusting eating habits losing over 30 pounds. And Intermittent Fasting has been the best, easiest method of my life.
This year will mean a possibility of more movement. More music making. More art enjoyments. Of course more knitting. But I’m determined to knit socks on circular needles, flippiesย or whatever they call those bendy short ones, and I want to learn to use double pointed needles. Right now, loom knitting is fast and I don’t lose stitches. But I am determined to be able to use any of these methods.
I see myself writing more letters and cards. And speaking of writing, I see those many books edited and finding readers.ย
I see people being kinder to each other. So let’s see if we can make this and more come true!
I hope all my friends and family have health, and love for this Christmas.
Meanwhile, we have no internet, or data, or cell. At least we’re warm. They say the internet will be back up by midnight. This storm is causing it’s trouble. Still

Books, games, music, and life โ filtered through the mind of a writer, drummer, and philosopher who thinks too deeply about all of it. If it moves something in your chest, I'm interested.
