Orthodox New Year

Orthodox New Year is annually celebrated on January 14. The Orthodox New Year is widely known as the Old New Year and is marked as January 1 in the Julian calendar, which was used before the Gregorian calendar. It is a popular holiday for those practicing the orthodox faith. During this holiday, the services are usually held with a festive dinner, music, and dancing. It is a traditional holiday where people spend time with their families. It involves serious meditation about personal New Year’s resolutions. Although it is important to Orthodox believers, it is not a public holiday.

    Another day at home alone.  Cabin fever is near.  Never even opened the front door today.  Cinder begs to go out but I am good at ignoring.  Poor kitty.  She was overly cuddly last night.  But the temp stays near zero or less & is too cold for her to go out.  Hope we survive the next couple of days until she can go out for a while.  And I can go to town.

    We all took a nap today.  It helps to pass the time.  But I have water/heat/food.  I should not complain  But really lonely.

     Not much from family today.  I guess too busy for me.  Just one photo & several texts from MM.  LL & I texted this evening.  I am so glad we are friends.

    Got a little sunny this afternoon.  Chance of snow tomorrow.  Last night I saw -6.  High today was 9.

    Pain was less last night for a while.  Both of my thumb joints are just too painful for words.  And one hip & one knee are just not fun.

    Boring blog.  Sorry.  Photos are old winter photos from where I live.  Share something different tomorrow.
