Appreciating R & R

Good Afternoon, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

Winter is still here! Was snowing a blizzard, mid day! The forecast is suggesting this is the tail end of the snow; and that Spring is just 'around the corner', or so we would believe the weatherman's tale. LOL!

A quick bit of an update! I slept in this am; so I missed the first half of 'Hour of Power' with Dr. Robert Schuller. I will share some tidbitz within the next few days; however, I recommend you tune into the website:www.hourofpower.org. Nick, the guest speaker, is one of the most uplifting witnesses in His Service, that I have ever heard! Nick was born without arms and legs; and if anyone ever feels downtrodden, angry, whatever fits, this is a story, that will humbly and deeply touch your hearts! Brought tears both to Alan's and my tid eyes. What a courageous and special human being; and what a wonderful impact he is making upon the world!

Also on 'Enjoying Everyday Life', I really enjoyed and appreciated the insightful messages from Joyce, and Ginger, the Executive T.V. producer of the program. Will share more bittidz another day; however, here is the website: www.joycemeyer.org. Also for those interested in learning more of her International Ministries, the website is: joycemeyer.org/handofhope.

On 'Living Truth', with Charles Price, he was 'wrapping up' his 8th message on 'The Dynamics of an Effective Church'; he was excellent; and here is his website: www.livingtruth.ca. Will mention a bit more at a later time; however, to obtain the best knowledge and understanding, it is best for one to tune into his teachings, which are first hand. Also, he will be doing a 5 part series from the Holy Land, from March 22nd to April 18; that will be awesome, methinks!

We did not do the 'admininistrative' bittids yesterday; we chilled out instead; and the same with today. We have quite the week coming up; so tidbits of R & R are good. However, we gave our Blue a bath! He did not like it at first; then when he realized that we were not going to hurt him, he relaxed a bittidz; so the bathing went well. There was remaining water in the tub from my bath, so Alan just lifted him gently into the tub. Fortunately, there is a slide-proof mat; and then with cups of water, and nicely smelling 'doggie shampoo', we washed our 'pup'; and then used the shower nozzle to rinse him off. We had two big beach towels; and he loved being dried off. Once out of the tub, it was as if Blue had a new tidbitz lease on life. He shook, repeatedly rolled on the carpets, ran around the house, full of excitement! Apart from 'treats', Alan 'brushed' his shiny coat; and Blue has 'a prance in his step!' LOL! Here are 5 pictures that I took (before he had his coat brushed; as it was still a bittidz wet); one of the photos shows my fingers (oops); however Blue exhuberantly and spontaneously, with his tail wagging, approached the camera and caught me off guard a tidbitz! LOL! As a beginner, I am enjoying experimenting with our digital camera; however, I will learn to fully digest the 'camera jargon', and shoot better pictures.

Am going to go and do a tid 'walkathon' on our Tony Gazelle Machine; doing a bit each day; and working gradually into it. You do feel so much better and less lethargic when you do some healthy exercise; and now that 'Spring' is on the horizon, we look forward to many outdoor walks with our Blue. Right now however, the skies are dark and overcast, along with a gusty gusty wind; appears to be a major storm brewing. Today, we have experienced sunshine, blue skies, all sorts of 'strange' weather tidbit patterns; a good day to be indoors methinks. You can see the snow on the rooftops from the pictures! It is the perfect day for a warm and cosy fire; and we may light a bittid fire a little later.

Tidbit - Appreciate treating yourselves to a bit of a rest; 'recharging the batteries' is all to the good.

Bittid - Pets are also delightful companions; as they bring so much to one's life! For those of you who have these 'family members', you can relate; particularly when you treat them well! It is tid said, that 'a well behaved animal is indicative of the type of person the owner is'.

Must go for the 'walkathon'; will enjoy the T.V. at the same time! LOL!

God Bless.
