Day 7 - 40 -- Bright Spots in the Day

Today was filled with bright sunshine that was almost blinding by late afternoon. The angle of the sun is very low, so it hits you in the eyes no matter what. Looking at your feet helps when walking. If driving, this won't help much. <smile>  This is in no way a complaint. It was great to see the sun for two days. By evening, clouds were setting in and the north wind picked up just a bit. It had been almost dead calm all day.

A friend took me to the grocery store again this week. What a gift that is. When I can't drive or carry heavy items except with my left hand, this is so wonderful.  It definitely brightens my day. The walk to the street has several patches of smooth, clear ice. Not slipping or sliding today as we walked groceries to the house, was also a blessing. The temperature dropped into the evening, and the house felt so warm as I entered it from outside. Another thing to be thankful for today.

Today is the 78th birthday of a great songwriter -- one who recorded songs and wrote for so many other artists that her songs are part of the lives of most boomers <smile>. I chose a favourite of mine with lyrics noting the importance of friendship and caring. Enjoy!

You've got a friend -- Carole King
