Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 30 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a northwest breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 2 pm. 🌡️ Going to be kind of cool tomorrow it seems. Or actually closer to seasonable.

Marconi and cheese this dinner with broccoli and tomato chunks in it. 🍲 A pretty good dinner. Fixed the hole in the pocket of my overcoat – it had allowed a few times for my keys 🔑 to slip into the back pocket. Neighbors are home 🏡 tonight and it’s a fairly nice night so I skipped riding the exercise bike in favor of the evening walk. 🚶 Nice walk, ice free and not too cold or wet. Finished up reading 📖 Murdock’s World about the FoxMedia empire. 📰

I’m trying to devote at least 45 minutes a night to reading as I know it’s as important to a healthy life 🙄 as riding the exercise bike. I got to work more on limiting my portion sizes for food 🐽but I always try to have a lot of veggies with each meal 🌽 and fruit in morning. 🍒 I don’t have snacks at home besides fruit and for beverages it’s flavored water or apple juice. 🍏

So yeah, tomorrow is my birthday 🎂. One’s 37 birthday is hardly a milestones, it’s just one day closer to owning my own land and eventually retiring 🏡. But that’s still many years off but a focus on a long term goal is good as it encourages me to save 💰and consume less and make less waste. ♻ This next year I plan to stay the course and continue to expand my knowledge and my horizons as I look toward a better tomorrow. New and exciting choices and changes will come to my life by the end of the upcoming year.
