Feels Like Spring Again :-)

 Checking my online mail and reading news before my morning really starts. I have received a e-mail from the Ragshop with their printable coupons. It is so strange, they give you two coupons. However, if you have a problem and the coupons don't show, you can click on another link to get them. The thing is, you can get four coupons instead of two. I have learned to go directly to the clickable link.

I just saw in the New York Times that Toni Morrison's "Beloved" was chosen the best novel in the last 25 years. WOW!

Yesterday was lovely, wasn't it Mr. Bloggie? Good weather, good friend,  o.k. food, what more can you ask. (smile) When I got home I learned that a neighbor died last month. I had heard news that someone had died and I did see the ME's car last month, but did not have a name. Yesterday I was told that it was one of the few people I know by name. He was in the building a few years before I arrived. I became so depressed by this news that I fell into an immediate funk. I ended up pulling books from the bookshelf and dusting and storing them. For some reason, certain bad news puts me in an odd energy mode. After my brother died, I remember reupholstering a side chair. I will miss seeing Mr. D--I only saw him once in a while, but it was a comforting feeling to know that one of the 'oldtimers' was still around.

I'm listening to Joel Osteen as I work. He just told a story about a couple who had been married for many years. The man was a professor at a prestigious college and his wife had developed alzheimer's desease. He decided to leave the college to care for his wife. He was asked, why woud you do that, she doesn't even know who you are. The man replied, she may not know who I am, but I kow who she is.  So powerful. I like what Osteen has to say, even though I have mixed feelings about him; not sure why.
