 …which is better than losing face or maybe even Faith. I don’t know if there are parameters for things like – too much snow, too much grey, too much idle time, too much dark…. the list goes on. In fact, I have lost count of the number of – <\/p>\n

1. Waves of this pandemic. I hear there is another to come, now would that be 5, 6 or 7?<\/p>\n

2. OK, I haven’t lost count of the masks, only about 5 or 6 that have been used. Maybe one for each wave. Yes, we are told to “ride them out”, but we (I) are (am) not surfers and really no one wants to catch one of these waves.<\/p>\n

3. The number of hours that should be daylight, which are not because the clouds are so thick they smother the sun and my soul.<\/p>\n

4. The number of snowflakes that have fallen after the start of Spring. Yes, I know it can snow in May. Do I get clear passage to heaven for my penance of enduring more Canadian winters than I care to count – there’s that word again.<\/p>\n

5. The number of squares of an afghan I am crocheting – yes there are probably about 50 or more, but there is always one or two less than I think there should be. If I were paranoid, I would think that someone was stealing my granny squares. Yes, I have lost count of the number of times I think I have lost my mind.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

6. The number of left-over meals you can make from one $12.00 chicken on sale at Metro. Maybe 5 or 6, if you count the lunches. If I did the math, that would be about $2.00 per meal. Then again one ham and cheese sandwich with coffee from Jules is a $12.00 lunch. Time to stop counting the calories and\/or the pennies.<\/p>\n

7. The number of times I check my e-mail for some enlightenment. I could count the spam, but that would be too depressing.<\/p>\n

8. The number of plants in my house. I bought a few to ease the boredom of the lockdowns. However, they grow and breed and now I have so many that I have lost count….<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

9. The number of snowdrops in the garden that have come up through the leaves that have not been raked, because of the number of days that have been below zero.<\/p>\n

10. The number of sighs breathed in an hour to fill the time waiting for something to happen, to count, to be an accomplishment, to be rapture!!<\/p>\n

The pictures? Things that count.<\/p>\n

Have an awesome day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
