Arms Wide Open

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined

I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten.

What a wonderful compilation of words by Natasha Bedingfield to begin this New Year with Kathy's meme....Songography.  I especially love the line "live your life with arms wide open" and I so subscribe to this approach to living.  Life is so short, why not make it sweet with your arms wide open.
                                                           

And again, I am using my 50mm lens for taking all these shots today...semi macro as above.

And thru a screen (you think I'm going out in that stuff??)  Not today in my bathrobe, however I did shovel the walk with said bathrobe so my kids could do their thing....but I haven't tromped thru the snow....yet.

We have some awful weather ahead of us....snow is still falling and winds are picking up with predictions of windchills up to -50 below 0....oh that thought shivers my timbers.  And...to make it even worse, my granddaughter, Bailey is working today and has chosen to drive home in this....I keep pleading with her to spend the night, but she thinks her business may close tomorrow due to the weather and she wants to be home.  And my granddaughter, Brie is headed back to Iowa State to return to school, driving.....arghhh!! She tells me the roads aren't bad in Iowa and she has emergency numbers just in case something happens. Oh brother, the worrying never ends, first it's your kids, then it's your grands.

Me and the kids are sticking pretty darn close to home....I re-filled the cupboards yesterday and managed to get my car in the garage.  What?  Well, you see when I had to move my sweetie from the Memory Care facility to a nursing home this past summer, I had boxes and boxes of his possessions along with stuff  I had cleared out of my office when I did a re-do this summer, which all ended up where the car was always parked.  But with our grim weather, I really didn't want to leave my darlin' auto out, so I managed to pile, move, and shift stuff  in order to keep her out of the nasties that are comin'.  I could almost here her say..."thank you."

Have a lovely Sunday and I hope wherever you are, whatever your weather you are safe & warm.

Until next time....
