Typical New England Weather

Yesterday was a beautiful day. It was sunny and in the 40's. I started thinking a few more days like this and I may be able to play golf. I woke up this morning to snow. Lots of heavy snow. I tried to put my beagle (Sully) outside. He stuck his nose out the door and turned around and went back to bed. I do have a snow blower but I prefer to shovel. Today was tough because it's the heavy wet snow that sticks to the shovel. I will always shovel the snow. People tell me I shouldn't shovel. They say I should have someone else do it for me. To me, having someone else shovel would be giving in to my condition. I never want to do that. I still have difficult days but I never let them stop me from doing what I need to do. I'll never raise the white flag and say no more. It just isn't in my make up.
Now I need to go find Sully and get him outside, otherwise I'll end up shoveling more than just snow today.

I like your attitude, Having a pacemaker should not define who we are rather our attitude does. Pacmakers are just something that we have. Have a great day!

good positive thinking:)
