Monday, Monday....again!!!

Rolling out a new day....Monday...all day....a beginning of a new week and the colors of Fall are beginning to show.   The trees are less green than a day or two ago, more copper colors, more yellows, more tiny pink blossoms which are really tiny leaves.  Fall is beautiful...well, it is.....even the stillness of early morning is good for us.   The little bird is up on the roof top.  I sometimes wonder if it spends the night there.   It seems content and has a tiny friend with it this morning, basking in the sunshine, not a care in the world.  The shades are down, cars are parked, quiet...stillness....a new day begins...um....wonder what is in store for us.   My day started with sad news as one of my son Mike's friends was killed in a motorcycle accident.   It would be the way he would want to go, but for us left behind it is not the way we would choose for him.   Johnny was one of the good guys and will be sadly missed by all of us.    Our only consolation is that he went out the way he would want to go.    A young man still, had a long way to go yet, but it was not his to decide.   He will be missed because he was a friend, a good one, and he leaves a large space open in our hearts.    So, when you have your libation for the day, raise your glass and wish him well;  he will be missed as he was well loved;   he will leave a large space to be filled and you can bet he will be up there giving directions.    Yes...Johnny was special and we all loved him.   His legacy of good friend and love remains and it is up to us to share as we remember him in our prayers and good works today. 

So...my coffee cup is empty...that will never do.....the tv is off and no news and that is another 'never do';   I am off....well you already knew that;   but off my duff and on to the coffee pot, a refill, an easy chair, feet up on the hassock,  news is on and I am very comfortable in the start of a band new day.  Remember you have things to do and a list to check off which I think is called 'duties' for the day....one by one  and the list shortens....so.....go, be YOU and celebrate the new day as you thank God for the sunshine and warmth, the birds and the bees, and.....alive, moving and doing for a new day....GO!!!  BE YOU!!!!
