It was more than -20 this morning as we took off to get Svetochka to the train station….I am walking no matter what….I ran a 38.8 temperature yesterday, as I fight with very bad arthritis that gives me fevers. Just do it people….walk…
As I write this article after almost 10,000 steps this morning, it is still -19, But that is really nothing new to a Russian and they are out in groves getting on with business. Guys are on the roofs removing snow, knocking icicles down and children are going to school. Cold is just another obstacle in a normal life for a Russian. Builders build and children go to school. It does not slow down until you see -40 to -50 and then they might play chess inside instead of outside. 🙂
This morning I watched four guys sitting on the edge of a tall building, they were dangling their feet over the edge and sipping coffee and eating sweet rolls. They waved at me and I waved back. They were enjoying life…
Isn’t that what it is all about?
Therefore, if you have two good feet and can walk, just walk and get better…

As usual, the West has demonstrated its ability to fire off a quick response when it comes to slamming Russia for something it has not done. This time it’s about Eastern Ghouta, a Damascus suburb under terrorist control. The accusation? Russia and its ally Syria are guilty of killing innocent civilians, thanks to their “devastating” attacks and “siege-and-starve tactics.” It’s the same old story – no actions against terrorists are permissible because of the risk of collateral damage. The Western media have jumped on the anti-Russia bandwagon as readily as if they were orchestra members carefully following the tempo of their conductor’s baton. US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley wasted no time chiming in.
Lets have a good quote to help the thinking…
We all have insecurities, and the thing that makes them crippling is that we all have the ability to blow them up into such huge issues in our minds, that we might as well have a facial deformity. It keeps us from really going out there and living our lives, and forgetting about hating yourself and just experiencing the world around you. – Christina Ricci
