Did someone say snow?

Okay, enough already!!!! I thought that a few inches not to bad, but 13 1/2 in 30 hours is a bit much, then they tell us more is coming.....more, are ya sure. Yep, they were right another 5 inches and and inch and then they say tonight through tomorrow another 5 inches. Shovel shovel shovel....rest....shovel shove shovel.....rest.....shovel shovel shovel.......think cuss word......
does this stop soon......shovel shovel shove..

Yep that has been my life here for a bit. I do like snow but I have to say a break would be a good idea. My husband and I are taking turns in shoveling hopeing to not wipe our shoulders and arms at. Not sure that is working yet. But teamwork always does help. If nothing else you don't feel like you are alone in the project. How often do we need teamwork? I think we need each other every day, to encourage us, to make us laugh, to have a good cry. Teamwork isn't just with my mate, it is with family and friends as well.

For me, the most important thing that I get from it is the emotional support, knowing that hey are just feelings and there are friends and family to share it with good or bad, that I don't have to carry it on my own. Now that just lifts the load right there.

So who helps you lift the load, do you allow others into your life to let them carry part of your load? Teamwork really matters when it comes to loads and carrying them. It makes the load lighter for each person. Smart idea!!!!!! Then why do I not do it sometimes. I think, oh I can handle this. I'm okay. Sometimes I am, other times it starts to snowball and I realize I should have asked for some help on this one. I hope after all these years I have learned to ask for help more. It is something I have been thinking about more with the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. I can't do it all on my own, I have to ask for help. My body just can't do all it use to, it needs help.
And in the end it strengthens those relationships that I have, allows others to give into my life and for me to give into theirs on a whole different level.


Also been enjoying sewing again. Hadn't been able to do very much and finally have gotten a handle on the pain. Took and takes lots of paying attention, figureing out what works for me in medications, and learning how much exercise to do without over doing it. Now that one is funny, overdoing my exercisisng. Who would have ever thought!!!! Not this girl.
I do know this, if you shovel heavy snow, you can exasterbate your shoulder and jaw muscles and set off a migraine. Yep, that wasn't a nice lesson to learn, so guess who will be shoveling snow a bit differntly. But I just gotta play in the snow. Just gotta. My grands made a snowman in my yard on Sunday when everyone was here staying warm. I like him very much, opppss, I was informed that is was a girl. Regardless, it is sweet cause they made it for their Nana.

I have to say, I do not think we will have a drought this summer, we will have an amazing snowbase this year. My flowers will love all that nice water to plump them up.
So, keep safe and warm and allow others to give into your lives, it is a grand gift to them and to you.
