A New Day

Good morning.   It is a new day and it is very early in the morning.  The outside courtyard is pitch black with the exception of one light on the side of the hospital building and the cars that are coming in with the workers for the hospital wing.  It is a morning, like most mornings, where the one light on the side of the building allows the incoming workers a bit of light to find a parking pace for the day.    Quiet prevails.    Silence .....it is a little after five a.m.   It is going to be a long day, a sad day as our Doris has passed all too soon....how we will miss this tiny lady who had turned one hundred, spry, smiling eyes, a big heart and a wonderful baker who loved to spoil us with her goodies.   A personal friend, I will miss her visits and her goodies.  I will miss her stories.  I will miss the lively sparkle in her eyes and the soft words she spoke.   I was really blessed by her friendship. 

I am looking at my little square white calendar which tells me it is Thursday morning at 5:56 AM, March 8, 2018....keeps me on the straight and narrow..smile.....the blinds are open to one light on the side of the hospital wing and the rest of the area is pitch black, can't tell the sky from the ground.....it will change soon enough and we will all get on with our new day....so......be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU . . . try a new good deed today and add one or two more as the day progresses.    Remember you get out of life what you put into it, no more, no less.....so be good to YOU to today and find reasons to be magnanimous , kind, gentle, and check out your do-good list and see how many you can fill......try for them all so you can have a new list tomorrow.    Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU ....be generous to a fault with your hugs, your kind words and share that sparkle in your eye.    Someone needs you today...find out who.    I can do with a hug, so....send one this way.   Hugs to all.
