The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Saturday Gratitude... Posted by Joan on 2/7/2026, 7:15 am

My five… Posted by Cindy on 2/7/2026, 1:58 pm, in reply to "Saturday Gratitude..." 1. Feeling a little better today. I started coming down with a cold on Thursday and have been taking guafenesin(sp?) for it which is basically generic Musinex and it is helping a lot. 2. A quiet weekend. I picked up groceries yesterday and don’t have any plans for this weekend. 3. Phone calls from my sister. Peggy always does a FaceTime call which cracks me up! Not sure why she can’t just make a regular phone call but it’s always nice to see her face! 4. Reading the other day on here that Beverly is learning to navigate life on her own. So proud of you Beverly-that can’t be easy. I wish we all lived closer. 5. This day and all it has to offer. God is good.

Cindy Posted by Beverly on 2/8/2026, 11:43 am, in reply to "My five…" Thanks so much.... I wish you lived closer too. Hope your cold slow right down to gone really fast.

Glad you are feeling better. Posted by Paula on 2/7/2026, 6:20 pm, in reply to "My five…" A nice lazy weekend sounds just like what tbe doctor ordered.

Happy to read... Posted by Joan on 2/7/2026, 5:59 pm, in reply to "My five…" you're feeling a little better today. Take care of yourself. Don't be afraid to take it easy!

Mine Posted by Paula on 2/7/2026, 9:57 am, in reply to "Saturday Gratitude..." A good SCREAM should help me manage my feelings about waking up to another 3 inches of snow and a windchill of 10. I know most of you have it worse but, this is the Mid-Atlantic, more South, really. TBH, 80% of my angst is about getting Lew safely in/out. Such a brave little doggie. Because I went to the pool this week, it should be easier to go again. I want to go to the gym today and walk the treadmill. I'm not comfortable with my cardiologist saying he believes I'm om while a colleague of his says there is a concern. I figure if I check my pulse and blood pressure, that should give me more answers. When I had a blockage, whenever I took a walk, my pulse would shoot up really high and my BP would crash, like 65/45. If anything close to that happens, it's back to the cardiologist! Think I'm going to bite the bullet and buy an 8oz travel CPAP.

I cannot wait to get back Posted by Cindyh on 2/9/2026, 11:46 am, in reply to "Mine" To the pool!! I miss it so John and I would love to have those travel cpap machines!! We keep watching the prices. Makes it worse when you need 2 Oh I’m 60 Years old.

Paula Posted by Beverly on 2/8/2026, 11:45 am, in reply to "Mine" I hope the gym went well

I understand... Posted by Joan on 2/7/2026, 5:56 pm, in reply to "Mine" wanting to have a good SCREAM! I feel that way sometimes, too!

I saw online…. Posted by Cindy on 2/7/2026, 1:48 pm, in reply to "Mine" How someone bought a pop up type tent that they had outside their back door for their dogs to go out and and do their business on the ground under the tent instead of in the snow! Obviously if you have snow already on the ground this wouldn’t help you out until the snow melts -but I thought it was a pretty neat idea.

Agree! Posted by Paula on 2/7/2026, 5:33 pm, in reply to "I saw online…." Brilliant!

Cinq Choses Pour Moi Posted by Krista on 2/7/2026, 7:40 am, in reply to "Saturday Gratitude..." 1) reading Joan's grats - always makes me happy to read about positive things going on in friend's lives 2) got a new "bible in a year" book and this one chooses 7 different readings each week from throughout the bible with a common theme. I've never seen one like this and I'm excited about it 3) going to Walmart this morning. Just some little things (new bra, shower liner, RX bars, pillows) but I never go shopping well hardly ever so I'm looking forward to it 4) selling Dad's hockey cards as he goes through them to see what he wants to keep. Have made $270 on 3 big lots so far. WOOHOO! I'm giving him back the money but it's fun to sell them on Marketplace and actually have people willing to pay what we want 5) VERY productive week at work on the website - yoursaintjohn.ca

Krista Posted by Beverly on 2/8/2026, 11:46 am, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" Fun to make Little bit of money. Good way to do it.

Love reading... Posted by Joan on 2/7/2026, 5:53 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" your grats, too! Thank you for including me in your grats! Your new "bible in a year" sounds perfect!

So I checked out that… Posted by Cindy on 2/7/2026, 1:51 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" Website. What are you responsible for on it? Such a fun little way to make some $$!

Right now Posted by Krista on 2/7/2026, 2:37 pm, in reply to "So I checked out that…" I'm doing the updates to the site whenever a post or obituary or event is added to the site. There is also a tab under connect for my show - Live on the Drive with Krista. They aren't making anything from it yet -- have to built it up and hope is that businesses will sponsor certain pages.

Five for me... Posted by Joan on 2/7/2026, 7:20 am, in reply to "Saturday Gratitude..." 1. I discovered yesterday that Walmart sells the same Covid/Flu testing kits that I can buy on Amazon. When did that happen? Walmart even has their own brand of Covid/Flu testing kits. Who knew? 2. My sister sent six 5x7 photos from the wedding we attended last September in Ohio. I have been busy selecting frames and placing them in different places around the house. 3. This year, the beginning of Ramadan coincides with the start of Lent. I love learning about different Religions, especially those of friends. 4. The winter Olympics has begun! 5. FSF family and friends! I pray for all of you, your families, your friends in my daily prayers... and thank you for praying for me! Maintenance is a forever endeavor!

Joan Posted by Beverly on 2/8/2026, 11:48 am, in reply to "Five for me..." So thoughtful to get those special photos! I enjoyed the Olympics last night.

Always love reading your gratitudes… Posted by Cindy on 2/7/2026, 1:52 pm, in reply to "Five for me..." You are such a positive person!! Are you watching the Winter Olympics??

Definitely! Posted by Joan on 2/7/2026, 5:49 pm, in reply to "Always love reading your gratitudes…" I love watching the Olympics!
