This was a difficult month. January was worse than November, and I did not anticipate that. I really had to work hard this month to manufacture smiles where there were none. But now we're almost to February, the 2011 Ride the Rockies route will be announced this weekend, and spring is on the way. Got a big happy shot in the arm last Tuesday, and I still smile when I think about that joyful experience. I made my first ever cheesecake last weekend, and I did it without sugar. Yes, it tastes great.

By golly, I'm going to make it through this winter!

Be sure to check out other Project Smile posts, and keep smiling!

  8. I always love your photos! I'm so glad to hear you ended up with great news last Tuesday. Sorry to hear January was a difficult month for you. I'm hoping you'll have a wonderful February. I know I always love when the longer days return and the snow melts quickly.

  10. We all go through tough times in life and you just have to trudge through it all. I loved reading about the ski poles and the ring.
