Paul Cyr took this photo near Fort Kent on the day after a storm, I don't know when it was.
I missed you all yesterday, it was hectic and than some, all is well now.
Little by little, I’m getting over my tendency to procrastinate. I always used to put things off till tomorrow, and, of course, they never got done. Instead of “Do it now,” my motto was “Tomorrow’s another day.” When I was loaded, I had grandiose plans; when I came down, I was too busy getting “well” to start anything. I’ve learned in the program that it’s far better to make a mistake once in a while than to never do anything at all. Am I learning to do it now?
Today I Pray
May my Higher Power help me cure my habitual tardiness and “get me to the church on time.” May I free myself of the self-imposed chaos of lifelong procrastination: library books overdue, appointments half-missed, assignments turned in late, schedules unmet, meals half-cooked. May I be sure if I, as an addict, led a disordered life, I, as a recovering addict, need order. May my Higher Power give me the serenity I need to restore order and organization to my daily living.

That road reminds me of the country roads in Iowa of my childhood. Lots of snow and if a strong wind shows up the road will be closed for days before they get it plowed out. It also looks really cold.
-14 below here this morning about -25 with the wind chill. Good day to stay inside.
Stay warm and safe.

They HAD some big plows to make that wide an open road. Glad I am not traveling it today! Glad you don't have to, either!
Good Morning Larry
Would love to see that snow here every once in awhile
A beautiful Sunday here a bit on the cold side Temp 15 haven't looked at the wind chill. Debating if I should take my walk or stay inside and ride the stationary bike of hell I enjoy walking so much more
Enjoy your Day and Stay Warm

LarryG Amen dearest Larry...wishing you a peaceful and blessed Sunday ~ Colleen 797 DOF
Beautiful & impressive photo, Larry. Sure missed you yesterday but glad you are here today.
Interesting, l never used to procrastinate but NOW, it’s a whole new world. I seem to find one excuse after another not to tackle things that l KNOW are eating away at my peace of mind. I need to change that starting NOW, no more putting off until tomorrow what can be done today!
Happy Sunday!
Ellen
elvan Have you tried using a list? I am always so happy when I get to cross something off. You CAN just do one thing a day, you know? Progress begets progress.
♥
YoungAtHeart l have tried but l have not followed through. Today is going to be different. I have a LOT to do but if I get the list done & then just prioritize, l will feel MUCH better. I used to do lists all the time but l got so discouraged because l never was able to finish them. I will be kinder to myself today.
elvan YOU DON'T NEED TO FINISH THE LIST IN ONE DAY!
Just do one thing at a time, do it to the best of your ability and only THEN do you look at the next thing.
I had a to-do-list for the Fall that had about 15 things on it, including things like scraping and painting the outside sills of all 14 sun room windows, a stained area of my bedroom ceiling, my mudroom floor, and sealing cracks in my garage cement apron. THAT wasn't done in a day!! But, I chipped away at it, and by the time the temps got too cold, I had not only completed it, but also cleaned up most of my leaves and flower gardens. It took me almost 3 months, and I surely couldn't have finished it in a day......
Don't expect that you can, either!

The keep talking about Snowmageddon here that occurred Feb 5,& 6 2010. We got 21 inches of snow those two days and it continued for a week. I'll never forget it. The road in you photo reminds me of the ally I lived in at the time. I was the only one that used it for access to their house, so I would shovel the whole alley. Snow was piled this high on either side!
Glad your back today
Barb
Very happy to see you today Larry. That's a lot of snow!!
I am a procrastinator of the worst kind. I do get places on time, and pay bills ontime, but I procrastinate house cleaning.
