Thanks for the new thread.  Brrr, it's cold here today, 32 degrees, but no snow yet.  AccuWeather is saying we could get over 5" of snow on January 6th.  That's my baking day for soup and sandwich luncheon at the church on Sunday.

FYI:  I posted 63 albums and singles during the Christmas season as of yesterday.  My goal was 50.  Now I'll return to posting music on a periodic basis.  I hope everyone enjoyed the music; I know I did.

I did this several years ago and it was interesting reading the notes at the beginning of the new year.  A Mason jar works great for the 52 notes.  Don't forget to date the notes each week.

It has been cold here mainly because of the wind.  They say we are getting snow later this week into the next.

I think I listened to every album and song you posted.  I enjoyed them all!  Thank you.

Possibly the Most important thing you'll read this Year...

The Charles Schulz Philosophy

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.

You don't have to actually answer the questions.

Just ponder on them. Just read it straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.

These are no second-rate achievers

They are the best in their fields.

But the applause dies.

Awards tarnish ...

Achievements are forgotten.

Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money ... or the most awards. They simply are the ones who care the most.

I love snowdrops! I have a variety of them in the yard. Some my mother planted back when she and my dad buit the house. My dad's birthday is in February and the snowdrops are always in bloom for his birthday. 

Every year I move clumps of them around in the yard so that they have spread to many new places. I love my carpet of white flowers when we are in the depth of winter.

@GinaV24 , your snowdrops flowers in your yard sound lovely. I looked some pictures up, and saved this one.
