I love my legs!

OK, an odd title, I know!  Especially for someone who weighs just under 200 lbs.  BUT I realized something this morning - as I trudged through the snow ... THAT I'M THANKFUL FOR MY LEGS - no they're not pretty legs, or gorgeous legs, or even sexy by our world's standards.  But they are strong legs, and I'm thankful for my ability to use them to walk every day - and to trudge through snow! 

At first I felt a bit peeved that I'd have to trudge on my walk - and then I had a perspective change.  At least I CAN trudge - I have strong legs and a healthy body. 

As soon as my perspective changed, I felt much more up for the challenge.  In fact, I did the full two laps (I usually do more but was ready to just do one lap) and shovelled our driveway when I got home!

PERSPECTIVE IS IMPORTANT!

TOPS was cancelled today due to the weather so I don't have an "offical" WI - but my at-home WI was good.

And the crib arrived! Now the final home inspection ... coming up!

It is all about perspective, isn't it? I love yours.

I can't wait to hear about the little ones you get to care for.

I love my legs, too! I love them much more now after having been unable to walk for 3 full months from paralysis nearly 4 years ago. I sure wish they looked different, but at least they work! LOL :) The crib looks so nice! Love the footed pajamas hanging there. :)

Thank you so much for your encouragement, Lori! Perspective IS important.
Staci, wow, I'd forgotten about your paralysis. That must have been something.
And baby clothes are so much fun to wash and fold! ;)
