Punxsutawney Phil after emerging from his burrow on Gobblers Knob in Punxsutawney, Pa., to see his shadow and forecast six more weeks of winter weather in 2010. What will he see on Groundhog Day 2011?

When will he make his prediction on Groundhog Day 2011? In recent years, the prognostication has come at about 7:30 a.m. Eastern time.

They like to keep us in suspense as long as they can. I expect it will be around 8 or 8:30 in the morning. We have had so much bad weather this winter and today was bright and sunny and I don’t know what tomorrow will bring to Tennessee.

This is so precious, yorkie! I think thats the kind of dog that Marissa wanted a while back. I know she is thrilled with her new pup, Buddy. He was cute.

SO cute, JC! Beagle puppies are adorable!

YOu asked earlier, if I was going to get another dog - and I haven’t decided yet. Part of me doesn’t want to be tied down with the responsibility - but part of me just adores the unconditional love (and the nurturing that goes with it)...............so we’ll see.

Thank you, teenie. I hung around some last night and didn’t see any activity so I went ahead and shut down. Then, I went to sleep in the lazyboy, then had to wake up and do the coffee for morning. It was going on 1:00 when I went up to bed. Oh, well, it doesn’t matter WHERE I get my sleep...LOL!

Thanks yorkie.

I know what you mean about getting a pet. Their love is so wonderful but there is a lot of responsibility. My son and I were talking about that last night. I guess there's a lot more good than bad but its a hard decision for me to make at this time in my life.

Phil did not see his shadow so we can expect an Early Spring....LOL!

Defragment
February 2, 2011

Every so often, my computer becomes sluggish. Frequent use of certain programs and documents causes pieces of information to become scattered, requiring my computer to search for the pieces before I can use them. To fix it, I need to run a program that retrieves the pieces and groups them together where they are easily accessible. This process is called “defragmentation.”

Like my computer, my life gets fragmented. One situation tugs on my emotions while I’m trying to concentrate on something else. Demands from every direction bombard me. I want to accomplish everything that needs to be done, but my mind won’t stop and my body won’t start. Soon I begin to feel weary and useless.

Recently I attended a retreat where one of the handouts included a prayer with words that expressed how I felt: “Lord, I am scattered, restless, and only half here.”

King David also went through such times (Ps. 55:2). In prayer, David presented his needs to God morning, noon, and evening, confident that he would be heard (v.17).

Prayer can help to defragment our lives. When we cast our cares on the Lord, He will show us what we need to do and what only He can do.

O Lord, we bring our restless hearts
To You in fervent prayer;
Now help us wait expectantly
While resting in Your care. —Sper

We need prayer the most when we have the least time to pray.

Read: Psalm 55:1-8

Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you. —Psalm 55:22
Bible in a year:
Exodus 29-30; Matthew 21:23-46

It is a routine visit and I hate to go. The weather was so nice yesterday and the wind is up so bad today, its about to blow my flag away. High winds I don’t like but I cancelled my last appointment and feel I must keep this one...bah-humbug!

I hate to tell you but PT didn’t help me at all. It truly helps some people but not me. I was praying that it would help. I also had 3 epidurals and they didn’t change one thing. My doctor recommends I go to another group of doctors soon...neurological/spine group. I may give in soon.

I’m glad you don’t live in Chicago! It is horrible there! Are you expecting any snow from this storm?

Our weather has been so nice. We almost made it to 60 yesterday and I think its around 40 this morning, which is good considering what we have had. I think the bad storms will miss us this time, Praise the Lord! The wind is as bad as I’ve ever seen it.

Have you been watching the fighting in Cairo? They’ve gone crazy. They are all crazy over there anyway, if you will pardon me!! LOL!

No, but if you would ask him, his would be the cutest...LOL! She is a sweet, sweet cat. She’s recovered from her illness and has a good appetite. In fact, he is considering cutting back on her food, as she is putting on a little too much weight.
