Ten On Tuesday

February 17, 2015 By Carole

As Kym said yesterday, we are deep in the winter blahs these days. It’s snowing again and it’s bitter cold out there. My spirits are failing and I’m looking to uplift them so today’s Ten on Tuesday topic is Ten Things I’m Looking Forward To Right Now.

out the front door for carole knits

  1. The weekend. I generally say this by Tuesday of every week.
  2. The Valentine’s Dance with Dale’s band. As I mentioned yesterday, it has been postponed until this Saturday and I am ready for a night out with our friends. Bring on the dancing!
  3. The Oscars. My favorite television event of the year is this coming Sunday. Hooray!
  4. SPA. I love this annual weekend with my girlfriends in Freeport, Maine. All the spinning and knitting and drinking and laughing is definitely something I’m looking forward to.
  5. Finishing listening to We Are Not Ourselves. I feel like I’ve been listening to this forever. I’m more than halfway through the 20 hours now, though, and I’m not giving up.
  6. Mexico. 59 days. Nuff said.
  7. Being able to run more than a mile. Last week I did a mile without walking, then I walked for 3 minutes and then ran another half mile. My goal is in sight!
  8. The Spin-A-Thon! It’s coming up on March 7th and I’m so excited about this opportunity to raise money for my local Y. Should you wish to donate you can go here to do so. And really, no amount is too small! If everyone reading this post donated $5 I would raise a whole lot of money for this very worthy cause.
  9. Attending a wedding. We’re going to one in just over a month and it’s going to include some of our closest friends and an overnight at a beautiful inn. I can’t remember the last time Dale and I had a night away.
  10. Summer. It seems like an awfully long way off but I’m truly looking forward to it’s return and all that comes with it.

    You have good things ahead of you to help you get through what will hopefully be the last few weeks of winter. 🙂

    Yeah, SUMMER!! The days are getting longer and we’re inching (or maybe half-inching, at the moment) our way there.

    Summer for sure I think is on everyone’s list.

    It’s a shame we cannot have these winter days dispersed throughout the year (and of course the same with sweltering summer days).

    I should head to Freeport for SPA. So much fun to look forward to.

    PS–I was able to make a small donation. I’m so glad you put the link up so I could.

    Lots of fun things on your agenda in the very near future…sorry you folk in the NE are having such miserable weather. Hopefully, this is the last hurrah!

    Soon, this will pass…
    Cheers~

Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Forward. If there’s anything I’ve learned in my 55 years, it’s that facing forward is the best way to live. All the things in life, good or bad, can be resolved this way, our problems only multiple if we try to skirt around them. True satisfaction comes from looking life right in the eye, doing your best, and finding the joy. #aepiecesofus #thisismyface #faceforward
These hands. They are 55 years old and they show t These hands. They are 55 years old and they show the wear and tear of those years. The washing and moisturizing, the attempts to hold the approach of aging at bay. They’ve held and comforted so many loved ones, they’ve changed diapers and checked out books at the library, they’ve typed countless words, they’ve cooked and cleaned and done everything I’ve expected and I appreciate every bump and age spot and ... they are mine. #aepiecesofus #piecesofme #myhandstellmystory
