SPCA president suspended - News - The Vanguard

Sitting looking out the window today...lots of wind and ice. Rain storm last night has really made a mess of my road so think I will stay home today even though its the only day off I've had in a week. I thought i would share this video of crows from youtube. i wonder how so many can survive in the city...

Well, almost the end of the month, 20 lbs thinner ... still on track with the diet ... : )


I went to visit friends today. Was feed a delicious lunch of goat meat chili at one friends home then macaroni with sauce at another friends so I did well with hospitality today! The latter friend lives in Quinan, a rural community about 1 hour from my home. It was a lovely drive in but very slippery coming home. Only seen one car in the ditch but thankfully no one was hurt. Also had a call for work tomorrow afternoon so a perfect end to my day...hoping yours was just as lovely ♥

Well...after suffering a kidney stone attack on the January 6th I've started to finally feel again. I've been drinking LOTS of fluids and it could be I've rid myself of it. Time will tell. I usually have one after a turkey feast which this year the Yule season brought a abundence of turkey plus everything else that makes one fat and miserable...♥I started Yoga and maybe be practicing with others tonight...weather permitting. The sky is starting to blacken here and snow is expected. Work has been slow the last few weeks so hoping it will soon pick up again. I've been doing many Spiritual readings for those seeking answers. Always glad that people can find me ♥

Been feeling the crunch of the Yule Holidays ...all that dark chocolate, spiced-rum eggnog and other delicacies have taken their toll so I decided to start my diet on January 1st... after my annual meal of creamed lobster of course ♥




So far so good. I've been keep a diary and sticking to a 1800 calorie daily intake. I refuse to limit myself so a treat of choclete or chips is included...lol! So far i've lost 5 lbs.



Now I'm old enough and been on many diets in my life so I know this sudden weight loss isn't going to be this fast for long. I've tried to include a extra long daily walk ( with Elf of course) and tonight started a Yoga class with a friend. I've never attempted yoga before so was very amused to find I'm actually more limber that I thought. I could get my leg almost over my head with ease. My friend struggled to do the routine so will have a willing partner to get ready for next class. This is a good thing for me ♥

I'm hoping by next weekend my pants won't be nearly so tight and my Spring I'll be several sizes smaller than I am now... chocolate & chip rations deciding...

Home today cleaning out my book case and found a bunch of short stories i wrote 3 years ago. Not sure how they got there as I moved to this home in April of 2009 and was sure they were lost for ever... Must of been the influence of my visit to hear the mystery of my friends "occurrence".




Seems she had given her Son a key chain that belonged to her Father ( now deceased) back in November of last year. The key chain had a penny made into it and the story was her father always said he would never be broke because of the penny. Her Son, who works in New Brunswick for a few weeks at a time then home for a few days, put his locker key for the job site on it.



When he came home for Christmas, he said he had lost his locker key and the key chain. This was very disappointing to him. While he was home it was decided he would take back to New Brunswick some winter clothing to use on the job. He packed his bag and put on a winter coat that had been stored in the closet for almost 2 years. Arriving in Digby he reached the Irving station, then went inside to get munchies for the ferry trip to St John, New Brunswick. Reaching into the pocket of the coat her felt something strange...putting it out it was his key & the key chain.

My friend wanted to know if I had any idea how this could of happened...



I had a similar experience when I worked at the shelter. I had lost a garnet earring at home, looked everywhere for it with no luck. I went to work a few days later, was on my knees cleaning a cat cage thinking what could of happened to the earring...suddenly, the earring dropped out of the air above me landing in front of me on the floor! This was witnessed by another employee as he was entering the room at about the same time. We both had no idea how this could of happened. ( ..he did mention it happened just as HE walked into the room which may of had some influence on this...funny guy he was ☼)



The only explanation I can give on all accounts is that we are cared for by the Universe...what we need it always there for us. Even if we need a small 'miracle' to keep us going ♥
