Good evening from frigid Green Bay, Wisconsin. It's currently 14 F with a real feel of -3 F. Cold! Our low tonight will be 5 F. It's been a good day today. I'm thankful my friend picked me up for the Winter Market this morning. She was early. Winter Market was okay. I didn't sell any books, but that's okay too. With temps as low as they were and Christmas just a week ago, I'm sure people weren't spending much. The crowd was also light this morning. I still had a good time. I'm thankful I have all the notifications finished. I know it's only temporary, but I had several days' backlog. So, now I'm caught up, and it feels good. It also gave me a chance to see what you're doing in your world. I'm thankful I have all my steps, both on the Fitbit and on my pedometer app and Google Fit. I don't think any of them have the same number. I know the Fitbit has a few thousand more than the phone. As long as I get my required steps, it's all that matters to me. I'm thankful I didn't need to eat a lot today. I'm still eating leftovers. I finished the sweets yesterday, so today was good. I'm also starting to see the water weight come off. So, that's good. Okay, that's my day. Not much happening. I like easy days. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. My next-door neighbor facing the phone.

Sounds like a good day there, minus the cold. I'd be thankful if this back pain was for a good reason..

@just4him No problem. And I always have back pain, but the past few days it has been a lot worse.

I'm thankful that George went outside twice today and felt like moving around. He put on two sweat shirts for the second time and one the first. Which he took off before we went inside. I can't get him to change into a night shirt every night, but he does change his shirt daily so I'm washing the same number of shirts and repeadily the same pair of pants. I wonder if he can drive an eletric cart so we can get him some more pants. He only has one pair that is going to wear out if he's not careful. That'll be a challenge.

It's already Monday and I'm trying to catch up a bit after being here on and off for the last two weeks. I'm happy that your new year is off to a good start

Glad that you were able to go to the winter market. Completely understandable why book sales were low at this time of year and with the bitter cold. We are a tad warmer at a balmy 14 degrees. My heart goes to our neighbors in the mountains, just a county or two away from us, who are sleeping in tents because of Helene. I am thankful for a warm home. May I never take it for granted.

I didn't realize Helene was still an issue. I hope they can get into homes soon and out of winter's cold weather. Thank you. Yes, it was understandable. I hope it warms up for you. Today we're a balmy 21. Have a blessed day.

Was the winter market outdoors? I just returned from my annual weeklong vacation to Disney World. I am thankful that my kids and I made it there and back safe and sound, and that we all had a very wonderful and relaxing time together.

No. The Winter Market is an indoor market. It's the opposite of the summer Farmer's Market held outside. I'm glad you had a wonderful vacation at Disney World.
