Another photo from our recent snow outing. It’s still around and tonight there’s a wee chance we might get more 🤞

My guess is that these signs are old markers for the old canal, considering there is a Lock Keeper’s Cottage… but it also reminded me of Harry Potter. Walbridge and Inglesham House both have nice rings to them, so I’d consider signing up!

What Rain What Spain, I am an ESL Teacher, Henrietta Higgins, my student's diction is fine however she is always late, my family grew up in the threatre, usually Musicals, she dresses horribly while she sells flowers on the corner, hmm

I am not a good Godmother, She dislikes the dresses I buy her and we have never gone bed surfing, we do not live in a castle, and I am not an older renowned beautiful actress, I'm stuck at 35. Anna has a way, hmm, however if we did live in a castle and go bed surfing I'm sure I could be all those things.

I do not know much about Julie Andrews Personal life and should learn more, the end #ROLE models, #Writing #Inspiration #Music #When writing helps #Parenting #Movies

A Sunday smile from The Duke of Bork in a rare moment of looking happy from his usual dissatisfaction with us—his menial servants Jeeves 1 & 2.

We met a Police Officer while doing the nightly perimeter check, and I think he was happy to know that local law enforcement are taking his concerns about potential silly season invading zombies seriously 🧟

We spent ours watching Die Hard 1 & 2… because in our house they are considered Christmas movies—I have my Nakatomi Christmas Party jumper to prove it 🤓

Have you started bingeing Christmas movies yet?🎄

I’m going with Steel Magnolias—not because I have Type I Diabetes, but because of the journey it depicts. Cutting my hair short due to chronic illness ✔️ making hard choices because of chronic illness ✔️ going to hospital because of my chronic illness ✔️ having to consider that I might die young(ish) from my chronic illness ✔️

And there’s that scene where Sally Field rages and howls at the injustice of her daughter being taken away from her because of chronic illness which speaks for itself. I also find some hope in the sense of community that Shelby has around her. I certainly don’t have anything as great as that in my everyday life, but I have a supportive husband and have a Mighty community in you all ❤️

What’s your Chronic Illness Life TV show or movie choice? 🎥

“The good times hide and so do I

Out of my control I dig a hole

If that's all the time that you got

Then I'd rather not waste my life on hold

I'm gonna let the bad times roll.”

~Paul Westerberg

I love the movie Catch & Release because a) Jen Gardner, b) Jen Gardner, and c) it’s ultimately a feel good movie that touches on some heavy issues like death, depression, and how family should be defined.

**SPOILER ALERT**

Family is simply who and what WE choose to make for ourselves. In my experience, it is most often those least deserving of our trust who would try convince you otherwise.

But, back to the movie…

I discovered this song from the soundtrack and thought it would make for an apt Chronic Illness Anthem. Because as much as I’d like to trade in my body for an upgrade, I would not give up the wisdom being ill has bestowed upon me.

Like knowing who is worthy of being called my family. And that sometimes, despite our hopes and best efforts, we just have to let the bad times roll—and not live our lives on hold.

What are your Spoonie Anthem contenders?
