    Today I am working outside to get ready for winter.  Cleaning fence  s and retiring my rain barrel for the season to prevent water freezing.  I walked so got that done.

      Thanks Dorothy!  I've needed that a few days this week myself.  It was such a busy week that there were two days, I was completely walking in a haze.  I had just returned from Nashville early in the morning and before I knew it, I had walked out of Rivertown with a latte in a to go cup rather than my reusable coffee mug.  Friday, someone asked me to go Stags.  Who doesn't want to go to Stags on Friday?  Before I knew it, I was eating off of a disposable plate.  I think it is important to forgive ourselves for mistakes and keep trying!
