Lately I have been feeling like the little train that could, Thanks Dan for the encouraging words.

Well, considering that I have been holed up in bed for the last few days, trying to stay warm.  I crawled out of bed, deciding I best go to town and tell the used truck guy I know that hubby didn't go for the idea of trading the truck for a car mom had her eyes on.  LOL, he named me a price and I asked him if I could borrow his phone to find out if hubby would go for that amount.  Hubby asked one question.  Is he talking about hard cold cash?
Well make a story short, we put some money in the bank, went out for lunch just me and him.  Paid the propane man what we owed him from last winter and paid for 100 gallons  which means we will get to light the heater after he comes tomorrow. HEAT. Yes! Mornings around here have been in the high 40's.  With temps being up in the 80's and 90's for so long that morning the cold front moved in I woke with a head cold.
It's funny how a little money makes a World of differences.


Thanks Dan for the encouraging words.
Lately I have been feeling like the little train that could.
But the only problem I hadn't reached the top, yet.
In truth, I was starting to give up.
One will only beat their head against a brick wall for so long, before getting a headache and sitting down.


"Trying is always preferrable to not."

You are so right with those words Dan.

Those words make me think of some others.
Only the dead feel no pain, and have no worries or fears.

My hubby giving me a kick in the pants by telling me it's my turn to make the bread.
In truth, it excited me, and is scaring the poop out of me, all at the same time.


When I'm up, I'm chugging away like the little train that could.
When I'm down.  All the fears sink their teeth in my behind and won't let go.
Right now, I'm trying to dislodge teeth from my behind, and stay warm.

607 I'll say.
Thanks for stopping by and reading my very long ramblings.
Thanks for leaving your mark.
Hope you have a good day, evening or night which ever may be your case.
bb

See, the thing with not even trying is that you're bound to fail. Even if you succeed at least 1 out of 10 times you can always know you tried.

It keeps us from beating up on ourselves too much. We have enough to worry about, don't you think?
