today, I walked to the Park, had lunch with friends, and walked home without any pain in my knee…

it is the furthest I’ve walked in months…

the weather was cool, a bit breezy, and snow fell gently as I walked… I left in lots of time for my lunch date so I didn’t have to rush… I’m finding that as long as I don’t try to walk too quickly I am good…

and what a treat to have lunch and a visit with two wonderful women…

good to get out and move… was very happy and pleased that the sidewalks were clear and not icy/slippery…

looking forward to more pain-free walks…

mentioned to someone the other day that I had gone downstairs to the living room to sit in the sun, but it wasn’t shining on the couch…

today I went down earlier expecting to see sun on my spot..

no such luck… apparently the sun doesn’t hit the living room at that angle at this time of the year, lol…

it shines on the other side of the room…

so while the sun was shining, I sat in the chair by the window and then in one of the black chairs…

the sun felt wonderful;-)…

a bit later I got this picture as it was going down…

so blessed to be able to see the movement of the sun at this time of year…

saw the most amazing sky tonight as I was walking through the house…

it always amazes me when I just happen to look out and see a gorgeous sunset or sunrise… there are so many moments that we miss because we aren’t looking, lol…

here is one of the photos that I took, just before my camera advised me it was exhausted…

I am feeling that a pattern is appearing in my days… I am getting up around eight or nine and then having a relaxing breakfast… today I had some chicken soup I’d made a few days ago in the Instant Pot… I hadn’t tasted it when I made it so was pleased with it this morning… I’d woken up with a stuffy nose, so chicken soup seemed like a great start to my day…

for my lunch I had some of the Mexican Chicken Soup I’d made at the same time…. I will make this again as it is very tasty…

a bit later I spent some time working at cleaning out a kitchen drawer… even went as far as putting a liner in as well… took a while for everything to dry and be ready to go back into the drawer and a number of things hit the garbage and pass-me-over box…

reading, watching tv, tidying, napping and cooking take up the rest of the day…

so far I am enjoying the relaxed quiet days…

had a very productive and enjoyable day…

spent time in the morning decluttering, deep-cleaning and reorganizing a rolling cupboard that my beloved built many years ago…

felt very pleased with the outcome… got rid of some stuff and made space for the Instant Pot;-)…

then had a delightful visit and some treats with a dear friend…

followed by some reading and a few phone calls… caught this sun dog as I looked out the window;-)…

enjoying the moments in this new portion of the journey;-)…

it was beautiful inside and out…

currently the temperature outside feels like -11C at 6 pm…pretty darn warm;-)…

saw the most stunning sky to welcome the Winter Solstice early this morning…

had breakfast with my grandson, prepared potatoes for tomorrow’s dinner, made stuffing and had a wonderful visit with a dear young woman…

I also got all of my Smart pieces of technology working correctly;-)… did laundry and brought up the suitcase…

I’ve watched some horse jumping and almost had a nap…

sounds crazy busy, but there were lots of breaks sitting in front of the tree listening to Christmas music…

blessed;-)…

I get an email whenever the space station flies over the house…

there will be a week or so when the messages come once or twice a day and then weeks go by with no notifications…

I’ve had a number of emails over the last week, but as the fly past has been first thing in the morning I haven’t gotten up to look for the station…

but the emails last night mentioned two fly-bys this morning… one at 6:21 and the second at 7:55, which is just about when I leave for work…

so I headed outside to watch for it… stayed out for about five minutes but didn’t spot it… think it might have been behind the neighbour’s tree…

it is always exciting when I do see it;-)…
