This snow day has blue skies to admire and gaze at. Train in the distance passing by. When the air is cold, the sound carries further. We are a tad bit further away from the train tracks here in RETIREMENT COTTAGE. I don't mind this. Makes sleeping more comfortable.
My little american town has little activity which makes it right nice for a slower paced LIFE. A sleeping community. Still the sound of a train whistle cannot be ignored. Gets my attention. Once upon a time this community thrived with businesses and homes. She was a community where people lived and lived some more raising their families, shopping, caring, attending church, played in the park, rode horses, work really hard to accomplish all that needed done. Today much of that still takes place. It took me years to get use to there not being so many HOMEMAKERS, Keeper of the HOME, Care Takers, Stay At HOME Mommas.
Still have to look for us out there.
Today, I will be HAPPY as a HomeBody.
Today I will make a deliberate decision to be HAPPY
as myself. I don't have to be anyone else.
Just me.
My old one was undersized, underweight and on her last leg. Today when I went through the pile of mail that was waiting for me much was torn up and thrown away. Credit card offers, health tests that are available, magazine offers, etc. Bye bye.
Sometimes I save the envelopes that come with the mail and use them as scratch pads to write out grocery lists and things to do. Recycling at it's best.
With the internet I know that it has hurt the sales of magazine subscriptions and newspapers as well. I still enjoy thumbing through a good magazine to see the gorgeous pictures. Browsing by internet has it's advantages. Welcome to the 21st Century old timer.
Our new skillet just arrived. DING DONG...Delivered to my door! No venturing out to the city and driving amongst the English. Husband will get the honors of opening the cardboard box to see what's inside. An evenings entertainment. He'll hopefully be happy to see what he ordered for us here on the Prairie. Not sure what state it came from, but that's alright.
My bruised foot is healing. Toes shall not be bumped. I can walk on my foot again. That hurt.
Saw this tiny Kitchen in a TINY HOUSE. Beautiful. I'd add a huge food pantry. Sherwin Williams Repose Grey Paint. I sure like this. Tiny seems to be getting very popular with a not so tiny price tag.
Is that clean or what?
Happy Day Six to you,

Your post really does mirror much of what we're going through with our move. Still too many boxes to unpack, still too many decisions regarding what to keep, what to get rid of, but still exciting and we love being retired ! Hope all is working out better for you and that your toe is much better.
