And this Female Cardinal who clearly didn't get the memo...

There's always one in the group!!

Being Healthy...

feeling well!!
It's not as easy for someone living with Multiple Sclerosis.
It takes work, and a lot of it...
Often you do everything right, and your body still fails you.
You think you can "will" things to be better,
try harder and things will "be" better, it's just not so.

It's not all about a positive attitude...
it's all about dealing with a disease that does not care
how happy or positive you are.
Everyone who deals with this disease has a different story...
my story is my own.
And when the disease is at it's worst, I don't really want to share 
the details of my story.
It's not pretty...and life is too pretty, to wonderful to focus on 
anything else.

So while I was "sleeping"...

My Paperwhites opened up...and the fragrance is amazing.

The sunsets from home were gorgeous,

and did I mention the Paperwhites opened up??

 Junior found the newly refurbished bird house,
and what a feast he had.
The hubs had oiled the pole but that slip & slide
only lasted a few hours.
Now re-seeding the birdhouse is back on my to-do-list.

 On Monday the 26th, we got six inches of the beautiful white stuff...

 and another cluster of Paperwhites opened up.

This was the view of my back yard yesterday. 
It snowed for about 2 hours, huge, fluffy flakes, it was gorgeous,
and then it was gone.
And almost no accumulation, even better. 

ohhhhh and I finished a few hats, a new work hat for the hubs.
He loves it, he earned it!!

and ohhhhh, ohhhhhh, I don't look like Cinderella,
but I'm getting there!!
