- My mom and I were able to go snowshoeing this past week. We are having another snowstorm, so I see more snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the near future. It’s been a very snowy late winter.
- My daughter and her husband got a new kitten this past week. I’m grateful she is adding joy to their lives.
- Volunteer time; it was good to go back after taking a couple weeks off.
- I had an eye exam this past week and will be getting new glasses. I’ve been having some minor problems with my eyes, mainly sensitive, irritated eyes with blurry vision caused by a blocked tear gland. I can’t even cry right anymore. Seriously, at this point I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry. I’m grateful to find out what is going on and that it will be a long time before I have to go back again.
- I signed up for a motorcycle class at the local Harley Davidson. I’ve been thinking about it for years but have been nervous about signing up, so now I did.
- I saw my first robin this past week. Even though there is tons of snow on the ground and more coming…spring will be here soon…right??
- We had a volunteer night at the sailing club to put our summer sailing brochures in envelopes. Previously our friends Harv and Kate were doing it themselves and it took them 6 hours. With a large group, we got the job done in a half an hour.
- It was nice to see Harv and Kate again. They are somewhere around 90 years old and Harv has been in poor health. I’m grateful to have some wonderful older friends to look up to. They have been married for 62 years and are a great example of what marriage can be.
- As a Christmas gift, we had our pastor and his family over to grill out and swim. It was a lot of fun to see the little kids having fun in the pool.
- We also had our friends over for trip planning last night. Next month we are taking a road trip to Traverse City, Michigan. We had a good visit.
- While our friends were here last night, we saw a red fox walk right by the window. That’s not something we see very often.
Outrunning my demons 
I enjoyed reading your blog post about your recent experiences. It’s great to hear how you spend your time and enjoy life. I hope your eye problem resolves itself soon. I also wondered, have you done snowshoeing and cross-country skiing before or is it a new experience for you?

Snowshoeing and skiing are not new experiences. However, we don’t always have the optimal levels of snow we need to be able to go out and enjoy it.

Wow, you have your pool heated while it’s snowy outside? We’ve never heated our pool. It’s too cold now to use, but it stays cool when the weather is hot. I would heat it for winter use, but it doesn’t have a heater!

Our pool is indoors and covered over the winter. Pretty much have to heat it year round. This is the second time we opened it up this year. I suppose most of the year you wouldn’t need heat for yours. A lot of people have outdoor pools here but can only use them 3 months of the year maybe 4. But I don’t know a lot of people with indoor pools.

I didn’t even think of indoor pools. I have a friend from Lake Geneva who has one indoors. After our hikes in the winter months, I force myself to put my feet in the pool, maybe stand in water past my knees. It helps!
