We all reach for new heights. Children and adults alike.
A number of you have asked why I have not posted a blog entry over the last several days. (And I appreciate you keeping an eye on me!)
This year one of my New Year's Resolutions is to work harder on my novel - and I am doing that this month. I have to block out other things when I write - I am not a gifted writer so I have to really concentrate and often I do that to the exclusion of other things.
I will try to do better.
Have a good Wednesday.

I love this photo! What a beautiful mother and son.
Many of you know my friend JC from my Bell days and perhaps from the chapter in my last book that JC contributed to.
I have posted pictures of JC on my blog before but this is the first photo of his mother, my friend, Marthe. Marthe and JC were at the Sens/Leafs game last evening (I forgot who won the game actually...........) Marthe has seasons tickets to the Sens home games and she travelled to Toronto last evening to attend the 'away' game with JC. Showing up in their Sen's sweaters took lots of guts and I am sure at least some of the Leafs faithful had a word or two for them. Well done you two!
Marthe and I have not yet met in person but we will meet on March 6th in Ottawa at the International Women's Day event hosted by the Canadian Federation of University Women.
Marthe I am looking forward to meeting you very much.
Love

If you have a facebook account check out "Wilmot School Project" but if you are not on facebook I will give you updates between now and the Reunion weekend July 28th - 29th. Honestly this will be such fun - imagine reconnecting with someone you were in Grade 1 with! Our school was a one room schoolhouse and then a two room schoolhouse for grades Primary through Grade 6. I can't wait!!
My little grandson is not so little any more. At seven Jalen is a very busy boy. He is an athlete like his dad and his grandfather and, even more important, he is a wonderful big brother. Lexi loves Jalen and she starts laughing when she heads his way at anytime during the day in any room of the house. One of my Christmas gifts to Jalen is yet another return trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame - he reminded me this past weekend that I have yet to deliver on that promise. I best get on it!
Lexi doesn't look sick but she was not feeling well at all for her birthday celebration. A cold and cutting two more teeth (I believe she has 11 now!) kept her down but not out............
When you think about it, is there ever another year when we learn as much as we do during our first year of life? And, such important skills too. We learn to breathe, open our eyes, recognize others, make all kinds of noises, crawl, walk, blow bubbles, develop our hand to eye coordination, pick things up, throw them, help others understand what we need/want without saying a word, eat different foods and decide which foods we like and which foods we don't like, and on and on and on..................Such an exciting 365 days don't you think?

Bad weather and the threat of snow can't really be something to complain about when we are almost at mid January. My son always laughs when I share Toronto's weather woes with him. He loves the snow for obvious reasons! Me - not so much but I can live with it.
Have a toasty Thursday - stay inside. Or, not.
Love, Carol Ann
