Life is not the way it is supposed to be. It is the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

Friday All Day!!!! S M I L E!!!!!

Good morning, I think, it is till pitch black out my window so I can't tell, although the light on the building across from me shows a left over puddle in the street, cars are parked already and a new day begins for all of us....I'm not ready, my coffee cup is empty....off for a refill...be right back!!1

AAH!!!! Coffee, black, hot and so good.   A good start for a Friday, a good day as it leads into a nice long weekend.   I have no plans in mind at the moment but once I wake up, I am sure I'll start plotting and planning for a few things to do today.   I needs some cards and that always reminds me of card shopping days with old friends when we would stand in the aisle and read the cards out loud, laughing and having such a good time.   I think we were good for business as some folks stopped to listen and laugh with us.   Yes, I know, I have told that tale a time or two but it is a truism..smile!!

So, it is Friday morning and it is pitch black out my window ...and...I am almost awake..smile.    My coffee cup is empty again....so I will love you, leave you, wish you a good Friday and a good shopping day.  Make your list, check it twice or more so you do not forget anyone.   What to buy???  Who knows, you will find something once you start looking...Go!!! Have your self a day to remember.  Hugs to all.

A New Thursday morning!!

Good morning.   It is pitch black out my window, a light on in one of the hospital rooms across the way, the tarmac looks dry and no cars are coming in yet.  A new day, a Thursday all day, um...wonder what is in store for us.  We are about to find out.

My coffee is hot and delicious, my raisin toast is long gone and it was tasty.  I want to share some words with you but there really is nothing new and different so I will wish you a good today ...go and have a good day, all day, doing what you love to do best.   Share YOU with those you love and like.   A good deed or two should help make the day go bye sweet rather than sour.   

As for me, no plans, a down day is always good as it gives one time to catch up with themselves.   So...go ...put your coffee or tea on and sit awhile.  Turn on the news and listen to what has transpired on the night.   It would be nice to hear some news that was uplifting but the studio seems to think we need gloom and doom to survive.   I am hearing we are going to have a few heavy showers but then it will turn colder and clearer for the weekend, so it isn't all bad..smile.

Holiday shopping comes to mind and I have no ideas on what I want to buy for gifts this year;   a looking expedition is in store and maybe, just maybe, something will pop up and want to come home with me and I can cross a name of my list.....gift shopping is never easy and it would be much easier if we had a hint or two for a want instead of a need...smile.

Make your today a good one...be YOU and share the day with lots of love and laughter.  I'm off.....well you already know that..ha.ha.   catch up and let me in on what you are up to today.   Hugs to all.

A New Hump Day!!!

Good Wednesday morning, pitch black out my window, only a couple of cars in so far and silence.  There is no difference between the earth and sky as it is very early and the workers have not come in as yet  for any activity.  There are no lights on in the hospital wing and that is a good thing.  I am up, maybe not all the way awake yet but working on it.   I didn't go anywhere or do anything exciting so there is little to write about.   Boring has its moments...smile!!

My coffee is good, hot and tasty.   There is nothing 'good' in this house;   there was but it disappeared.   Maybe if I put a little jelly on a piece of toast it will make me feel like I am having a treat this morning....or not...my sweet tooth is not easily satisfied as the more sugar it gets the more it wants...wonder if you have that same problem...smile!!! 

The pavement is wet out there this morning.   Isn't there a song about "I love a rainy day"...I think so, don't remember all the words or I'd sing to you....smile!!

My cup is empty so I am off for a refill, but not before I wish you a good day, all day, and hopefully a bit of fun thrown in.  Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU.

Catch up, I look for a word or two from YOU every day.  Hugs to all.

Tuesday morning

It is pitch black out my window, night light on the hospital wing but to dark to see if the little bird is up on the roof top.  The worker cars are coming in slowly, almost reluctantly as they creep in looking for their favorite parking spot.  No lights on in the hospital wing, oops, I take that back as I took another peek and there is one room with light so someone is an early riser.   Don't go away, I am off for a refill, my coffee cup is empty...um....I don't remember drinking all that hot coffee....you have heard of sleep walking, well I guess I am a sleep drinker.....good think it is just coffee...smile.

At this time of the morning, which is a little after five a.m., a Tuesday morning and there are a few puddles on the road so we must have had a little rain in the night.   It is amazing how quiet the cars are that are coming into the lot right now.  You cannot hear the motors at all and there are no hot rod drivers so all stays peaceful and the folks can turn over and get in another hour or two.   I am a creature of bad habits...early to rise....do not have to;  just do.....

Daughter Christine wants to shoe shop today but I don't want to.   At least not this time of the day, ha, ha, the stores are a far cry from being opened.   I have one sore toe so think I should wait to go shoe shopping;  now to convince her.

So, today is a new day, and I am hoping it i going to be a 'good' day.     I need to shop for a few special cards, come to think of it all the cards are special...smile...so I think card shopping is going to be in the works today.  But right now is coffee time, wake up time, and hopefully a clear day as the residue from the rain in the night is till showing on the tarmac.   

Be good, be kind, be gentle and make your day one to remember.   Hugs to all.

Monday, Monday . . . A new week starting!!!

Good morning.  It is pitch black outside, A few folks up over in the hospital wing, cars are parked and it looks like it has been raining as the tarmac is all wet.  It is quiet.   This time of the morning silence reigns.   A new week begins and it is time to think about Christmas and all that it entails.   We will be making out lists, checking them so we do not forget anyone and think of shopping, one of the toughest jobs we hold.  Finding the right 'item' for the person who has everything...smile!!!!   Christmas is a time of love, a time to share, a time to finish up the old year and get ready for a new one.   Time....it has a way of leaving before we catch up with it.    A year ending gives us time to think of what we did accomplish, and what we still want to complete, important things like broken friendships, keeping ones word, good deeds, promises and all of the important facts that go into making out lives better. So, I will love you and leave you to get on with your day . . . be good, be kind, be YOU and make today the best one yet.   GO!!!!!  Be a beacon of light!!!d  Hugs to all.

Sunday Morning

Good Morning!!!  It has to be all of five a.m. and I am awake, coffee in hand and the start of a 'good morning' which is pitch black at the moment and there is nothing moving so it is dark, peaceful, no noise of any kind and not one light on in the hospital wing.   The start of a new Sunday.....um....wonder what is in store for us????

My coffee cup is empty, there is nothing good to eat and it is to early to cook...besides I would rather have something sweet and tasty like a cinnamon bun but there is none and toast does not have the same flavor so it doesn't 'hit the spot' but...beggars  cannot be choosers so I will stop my griping and groaning and make do...well, what else can I do???? 

So, I will wish you a good day, all day, doing what you like to do best.   I will go and refill my coffee cup, hunker down in my easy chair and turn on the television for a little morning news. 

Have yourself a good day....catch up with yourself.   Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.


Saturday, November 24, 2018

Saturday at or about six a.m.

Good morning.  Pitch blackout my window, night light on the side of the hospital wing, cars parked, nothing moving in or out at the moment but it is early, think about five  A.M.  My coffee cup is empty so hang on a minute as I go for a refill....

AAH!!!  Coffee, the early morning wake-upper , hot, tasty, and delicious. 

It is Saturday morning about five thirty, early to bed, early to rise which is suppose to make us wealthy and wise;  so much for that...smile!!

So.....having no new news, nothing to write about, coffee to drink, eyes to open....television has happy music on....how dare they at this time of the morning...ha...ha.

So...I wish you a good morning, a good day, a special day filled with fun and  laughter with a hug or two thrown in.   Make your day a 'best' one....give a hug, get a hug, you know the drill...ha.ha.    "One for the money, one for the show, two to get ready and go man go...:   ha...ha.   well singing is good for you early in the morning, try it you may find you like it...ha.ha..ha.....

Have a Saturday to remember!!!!  Hugs to all.

The Day After the Feast....burp, burp, burp!!!!

Good Friday, the day after the feast and the festivities and the food and the stuffing of more than the turkey...smile....

Not hungry today, wonder why???  could be I am like the Thanksgiving Turkey and am stuffed...talk about good eats....wow.....not one complaint to be heard .

While I was up for lunch today, and I really was not hungry at all, some family elves crept into my apartment and left we with a huge beautiful bright red plant that makes the room come alive.  Goodies find their way in and not a sign of the magic elves that are coming in and out.   So I not only have reasons to be thankful but I have reasons to feel loved and cared for and that alone is worth the whole world with a fence around it..smile!!! 

So, I am thankful, grateful, well loved and have nothing to complain about...oh wait a minute, maybe I can think of something....ha.ha.ha.ha....no...I truly am blessed.

So, thank you my magic elves, I know who you are and I will not get mad but you can bet I'll work on getting even...ha.ha.   hugs, love and don't forget I'll treat to a dinner out when you have the time....just let me know and I will put my shoes on.

My love, my thanks, I am waiting for you to come back.  Soon is good!!!

Hump Day!!

AAH!!!! Coffee...Coffee.....good, black, hot and tasty the wake-upper of the morning and I have nothing to complain about....well, I  will think of something..ha,ha....nope...nothing comes to mind as it is pitch black out my window, the night light is still on outside the hospital wing and one room has the shades up and someone is watching television hunkered down and comfortable probably wish for a nice hot breakfast to be delivered...wonder what they serve over there, but, unwilling to find out...healthy and hardy is best for a new day ... and, I hope you are all healthy and hardy this morning.

Dinner out last evening with my girls and friends,  Kira and Bill , a couple we love to share time with.   The food was good as was the service and we had a good time, reasons to laugh out loud and enjoy a couple of hours. 

I see the road outside is a bit wet, must have had a sprinkle or two in the night.  It is pitch black out there now so I will have to wait to see what is in store weather wise today.   A little rain wouldn't hurt but then neither would a little sunshine...smile!!

My coffee cup is empty, the tv is on, it is much to early to be up and about so I am going to go to my easy chair, feet up on the hassock and watch the 'boob tube' awhile and then I might get motivated for a new day.  No rush, no fuss....just time to wake up.

I hope you are feeling tip top today and have a day you will remember with love and laughter.  Be good....be kind...be gentle...be YOU!!!   Make someone you know and love smile today just because you are in their day...remind yourself good deeds are good for you....and those you wish to share yourself with. 

Off for a refill, feet up, tv on, time to relax.... have to go and find something to watch on television but first things first...coffee refill....coffee, coffee...ha,ha.   well something has to wake me up.

Have yourself a good day ...all day...be good, be kind, be gentle and share YOU with those you love and like.    Hugs to all.

Tuesday Morning

It is a good thing I have a little block calendar that tells me the day and not the date so I am in the dark as to what "time" it is and at this time of the morning, I could care less...smile.    I have one eye open, coffee cup is empty so if you will excuse me, I am off for a refill...and then you have my attention.

The worker cars are parked on my side this morning, but it is to dark to tell what they look like.  It is silent, at the moment still, no noise of any kind.   My coffee is hot and tasty and that should help get the brain in gear .

We have a new Tuesday to fill;  um....wonder what is in store for us...something good I hope.    I have no special plans ...yet....   I'll come up with something...but what???  I'll let you know when I find out...smile!!  I do know we are going to visit some friends this evening and that is always fun.  Meanwhile I have hours of the day to fill and once I wake up, I will get busy...first some breakfast, I'm hungry...wake up hungry so that is what keeps my girlish figure and , as usual, there is 'nothing good in this house';   meaning no sweets..ha.ha.  .... but toast isn't all bad...doesn't have the allure of a big fat jelly doughnut but it serves a purpose...but leaves one wanting to fill the sweet tooth.   Oh well....beggars cannot be choosers.....I know what to put on the top of my grocery list.

So I wish you a good day, all day, doing what you love to do.   Go....make this a banner day and one you will remember with smiles.    Hug a friend or two;  cherish the ones you get and be as good as you can be...there are good deeds yet to be done.   Have a busy day, a good day, one you want to remember for a long time to come.   Start by being a 'friend'...smile....As for me, I am going to love you and leave you and look for something 'good' to eat.....'there is nothing good int his house'....ha,ha....you have heard that before.   Go....make today special, just like YOU.

Hugs to all.

Monday Morning!!!

Monday morning, la, la, la,.....a new day, a new start of a week, a clear light blue sky, no breeze at all, trees are still, hospital shades are down and the worker cars all parked under my window.  A new week begins.  A new day called Monday and hours yet to fill...we can do it...lets all try to make it a good one.  Be kind, be loving, be YOU!!!

The sky is a very light blue, almost white this morning.  The bird is on the roof top, probably sleeping as it doesn't seem to move at all.  There is morning frost on the roof top of the hospital wing, one small area and the rest is clear.  I wonder why that one spot is frosted.  The shades are still down, the bird feeders are not in use, guess that one bird that is on the roof top is not interested in having breakfast out this morning.  and so....a new day begins.

I wish you a good day ....all day.   Busy is good so stay busy and start with a hug for a friend or two;  family members included...smile!!!   Go....be YOU...be Good, be Kind, be Gentle!!!  Have yourself a good day, all day.....one that fills your memory banks with good thoughts, leading to good deeds....and you will SHINE!!!!  Hugs to all.

Sunday Morning

Good morning.  Black outside my window, night light on, cars parked, nothing moving and quiet prevails...silence....quiet is good!!

A new Sunday, hard to believe a week has gone bye making the holidays loom and the making of lists grow as we get ready for them.   The hardest part is not having access to our far away family and friends, but a call and a verbal hug isn't all bad..smile.

I was out and about for awhile yesterday, did a bit of junking but didn't find anything to bring home.   Daughter Patricia invited me to watch some Hallmark movies and that is always fun.   We ordered a pizza and you know that was delicious and filling...look Ma no dishes...ha.ha.

So a new week begins,  news from friends which is a gift by itself as they are busy with much to do and having them take time out means so much.  How lucky I am.  So....I have an empty coffee cup, ate the last doughnut and wish I had not..smile.    No lights on in the hospital wing, cars moving in slowly and a new day begins.

I wish you a good day, all day....catch up with yourself ...make a list and check it twice...la, la...and have a good day, all day...one you want to remember.

Hugs to all.

Saturday Morning!!!

The sky is a beautiful mix of blue; real light at the top of the trees then it shades out to different blues from light to dark shades, almost like before the rain, but it is early and has a way to go before we can tell what kind of a day we will have.  It is silent.  Nothing moving.  One light on in a hospital room across the way, the rest is pitch black and the folks are sleeping,

I am hoping to go junking today.  I really have enough junk as is, but a little more just adds to the mix ..ha.ha. 

Stillness is magic as it allows the brain to go off on a journey of its own.  The size and shapes of the treetops are truly amazing and the morning silence is a wonder.  The bird is on the roof top in its shadow coat as you can hardly see it unless you know what you are looking for;  knowing where it sits all the time helps. 

So.....time for a refill of my coffee.   The cup is empty....aah...coffee!!!   A blessing from above...smile.    I hope to go junking today and find a treasure....I'll let you know...smile.

I hope your day is special, like YOU....enjoy your seconds, make good use of them and share YOU with those you love and like.   Practice on being a friend today and your day will turn into sunshine and smiles.    Share YOU with those you love and like....add a new person to your group today, someone new and different , someone who will make you sit up and take notice who adds a bit of love and laughter into your day.  Someone needs a hug today....go....share a hug or two.

Make YOUR TODAY worthwhile......Hugs to all.

Good Friday Morning!!!

My little desk calendar says "Now it's Friday Morning";  good to know...heading for a new weekend and I have to wake up and find out what I am up to this weekend....dinner in or out with my girls....I'll find out a bit later if we are to go out or staying in, right now it is pitch black out there and the worker cars are coming in slowly.  No lights on over in the hospital wing but the outside light is on.  My coffee is hot and tasty;  'there is nothing good in this house'..ha.ha...you have heard that before.   Friday has a nice ring to it, a weekend starting and the weather has been just right..smile.   I didn't do anything exciting yesterday, a sort of laid back day, but I am open to an invitation and have no trouble putting my shoes on.

If my mind is on the right track, granddaughter Erin is having a  birthday and that is cause to celebrate.   I am not sure where her favorite eating place is but I am sure we will wine and dine her and celebrate a new year....so.....I wish you a day building good memories, good health a bit of wealth and a hug or two.   Go....spread a little sunshine....and, as for me, I am off for a refill....hot coffee...aah!!! feet up, TV on and a slow wake up time to a new day.   I hope your day is 'as nice as you'...smile....couldn't be nicer if it tried....YOU are special...I know...I said so.   ha, ha...go....be YOU and have a good day, all day.Hugs to all.

Thursday, November 15, 2018

Thursday all day!!

Good morning!!!  Pitch black out my window;  silence;  nothing moving; quiet and so dark you cannot see the sky...but...it is early and the workers are coming in slowly.   My coffee cup is empty so you know I will love you and leave you for a refill.   

AAH!!!! Um, um....good...hot coffee, black, a wake up drink that makes the taste buds sit up and take notice.  ...smile!!

Now if I only had something to write about.  There is no new news.  Yesterday was a quiet day and I didn't go anywhere or do anything to brag about.  Quiet days are actually good for us, gives the body and mind a rest time.   But...being creatures of habit, we grouse and groan anyway all because we enjoy the challenge of something to do..smile.   

The weather is changing, time to get the warm woollies out...long john time before we know it....ha, ha...bet you don't even own a pair.

So, I will love you and leave you to what I hope is a good day..all day.   I wish you good health, happiness, friends to hug, a sparkle in your eye and a lot of love in your heart.   You know the drill....'be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU'.....Hugs to all.

Hump Day!!!

Wednesday has a nice ring to it;  mid week, and the sky is a beautiful soft blue
the trees are still and there is a bit of a mystery as the worker cars are already parked for the day and the blinds are beginning to go up in the hospital wing...a new day, let us hope for a 'good' day for all.

Prayer of Serenity:  God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change..Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

Okay, we are all set for the start of a new day...hump day..Wednesday...mid week...and there are places to go and things to do...shopping for a birthday card and that is always fun.  I remember times when a friend and I would stand at the card counter exchanging funny cards and laughing out loud until we had a few folks join us and the clerk smiling as the cards disappeared from stock. 

My coffee cup is empty and that will never do.  I cannot expect the brain to awaken without a sip or two.   So, off to refill my cup, get on with a word or two and you know that I am wishing YOU and good day, all day, filled with happy thoughts, good deeds and loving smiles.   Go...be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Tuesday Evening Has a Nice Ring to it!!!

It is almost time to say goodnight.  If Pa was still with us, he would be walking around the room winding his clock and setting the alarm for five a.m., the start of his new day and the long walk to work..but not before he had made the coffee and had a bite.   A soft man, a loving man, and he rarely leaves the mind and heart as time takes us on a journey of our own.   October was his month and it did fit him to a 't';   a soft man, a wise man, and above all a very loving man.  He had the magic in his fingers for growing flowers of every kind;  special plants;  even weeds took on a magic of their own when he touched them.  October brings out memories that have a very special place in the heart.  How lucky we are to have memory banks to help up accept the changes in our lives and give thanks for the gifts they brought into out lives. 

Today was a good day, no complaints...ha.ha.  who would listen??  The weather was soft, cool, a Fall day.  Grocery shopping was fun, quick and easy as the list was short and of course 'sweet'..smile.   well, you know I have a sweet tooth!!

It was a 'good day' and a hug or two didn't hurt at all.    I hope your day was a good one.  I hope you shared you with those you love and like. 

I am looking at a tiny Christmas tree, all decorated and sitting in a corner making me smile.   Time flies, so it really is not to early to put it up.  I like looking at it anyway and I need to go look for a star for the top as I lost the one I had..or misplaced it and have not found out where I 'hid' it..smile.   So my spirit is alive and growing.....Christmas...doesn't that have a lovely sound????  I think so!!!

So..get in the mood and get started...Hallmark Christmas shows;   decorations everywhere;  a few Bah Humbugs around and they just add a little challenge to make this holiday season the best ever.   I know, I know, we have to give thanks for the holiday season and celebrate Thanksgiving...the taste buds are singing....turkey, turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce....yum.....I am really not ready...but...I can get ready, ha, ha.

Be good.  be kind... be YOU.   Hugs to all!!





Monday, November 12, 2018

Monday...Again!!!

Time....time sure goes bye so fast, weekend gone and a new week begins.  Monday morning, light sky, trees not moving and the blinds  are down in the hospital wing.  The worker cars are in and parked for the day and the little bird is on the roof top watching the world go bye.   It has turned sweater weather and the workers walk a bit faster from their car to the front door of the hospital wing.  One of the men folks is out walking his little 'hot-dog;  a cutie, long and lean and so happy to be out for an early morning walk.  I bet his master has a different tale to tell as the mornings are getting a bit cooler...smile.

Okay, ready....."God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."  Go...have yourself a day to remember.

I am off for a coffee refill, snuggle in my easy chair and watch the news for awhile.   A new day and I have no special plans;  a cry that you hear every morning....I'll think of something after the morning chores are done.  Reach out and touch your family members, a friend or two and add a new person to your group, someone who needs a friend today.   Be good, be kind, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Sunday, November 11, 2018

Good Morning!!

An interesting sky this morning, shades of very light blue, no movement in the trees, three cars parked on  my side of the driveway this morning and the little bird is on the roof top across the way...it is Sunday morning, probably around five a.m. and the day has a way to go before folks wake up for the new Sunday.  I am enjoying the bright blue of the sky showing through the trees, makes for a pretty picture and you can actually feel silence.  That will not last as the workers are beginning to come in.  The shades are down in the hospital wing and only one has opened the blinds and another has the light on but the shade is down.I have been awake for hours, tv is on, but I really haven't been paying attention.  If there is such a thing as being awake and asleep at the same time, I think I have found it...I snuggled in my easy chair and put my feet up on the hassock and stayed put but the call for morning coffee is strong and that meant a trip to the kitchen and ...aah...coffee...coffee...smile...the elixir to waking up.  I have to smile as I watch the workers walk in.  They have mastered a very slow walk..smile...if you are a betting person, you win, as they are really sleep walking.  It must be hard to get up before dawn, get dressed and get out in the early morning coldness unless you have a latte in hand and I bet they head for the nearest restaurant to get one.   Come to think of it, I am ready for a refill.  smile...and a chair sit...and more television, feet up, maybe a small snooze...it is Sunday all day and I don't have to hurry...come to think of it, my hurrying days are all but over...smile.

I wish you a good day, all day, doing what you want to do and love to do....make someone, in your life, happy....hugs are a good start;  kind words help;   but a welcome smile does it all.   Have a good day...all day...smile a lot....love a lot...be a YOU to be happy and content as you share today.  Go....be YOU....make today the best one yet.  Hugs to all.

A New Saturday...um.....

Good Morning!!!  The sky is a soft blue and the trees are still.  The workers are in and have parked their cars on my side this morning.  There are two cars parked right now, one a creme color the other white and then empty spaces which will fill up quickly as the new day makes it way.   I have a little sign on my desk that changes the day and date every morning and it tells me it is Saturday...I know that..smile....but it is nice to have a reminder as the mind, at this age, seems to have a 'mind' of its own and I tag along to find out what I am suppose to be doing...day dreaming is fun...catching up with you is always fun and a full cup of hot coffee helps to wake the brain up and let me converse with you...smile!!!

There is something about the early morning hours that is restful.  The sky is a soft grey, hardly a shade of blue but working towards it as the night changes into day.  The trees are still with the exception of a few light branches that sway with a soft breeze.   A beautiful sight and the quiet adds to the beauty.  The little bird is on the hospital rooftop, the night light is still on, three cars parked, two creme colored and one white car so far.   A new day begins....a Saturday all day and I wonder what is in store for us....something good I hope.

I am off to watch television as it is time for the cowboys...smile.   you are a fan, I hope...smile!!!

Be good, be kind, be YOU and have a good day all day.   Don't forget a good deed or two and hugs are always needed and welcome.   Be a bright light today;  be all you can be and enjoy your seconds as they go bye so quickly.   Life is short at best so do not waste it...smile...kick up your heels and have some fun today...you know the old adage...'all work and no play'  . . . I am going to love you and leave you...off to make a shopping list as the cupboards are bared...not a cookie in this house....

Go....be you....have a day to remember!!
Hugs to all.

Friday Morning

Somewhere, hiding in the computer is a bit of writing I started and lost along the way....too early, not awake, fast fingers and lost words...oh well, start again...now what was it I said?????  I have no idea, I am not awake yet...smile!!!

The cars are moving in slowly, pitch black out the window, cannot see the earth from the sky and at this hour who cares??? ha, ha...I am not awake yet but working on it.

It is Friday, and I hope shopping day as there is 'nothing good in this house'..ha, ha....you have heard that before.   And...I function much better when I have something 'good' to go with my hot coffee. 

At this age I want to say the mind is flexible, but slowly losing some of the capability to function as clearly as it used to;   a fact that a lot of 'things' do not function as they used to...smile.

So Friday means getting ready for the weekend;  some things fun to do;  some things work to do;  some things shopping to do and until the sun comes up, I am not moving out of my easy chair until I have to..smile.

So...I wish you a good day, all day.   I wish you health...a bit of wealth...and some fun as you join family and friends.  Be good, be kind, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

A New Thursday...all day!!!

Good morning.    My brain is slow this morning, doesn't want to wake up and join in the early morning light.  The sky is very  soft blue, almost white, and the trees are not moving at all.  The worker cars are all parked, under my window, a creme sport type car is out there looking beautiful as the regular black and grey hide in its light.   A new Thursday and it is very early so the brain is not awake to make plans for the day.   It may prove to be a down day, have some catch up work to do around here...ha.ha.   I think I said that yesterday and the day before and it does tell you that I am moving slower these days.   I did get to the Gallery meeting and enjoy the ladies.   There is always some uplifting conversations and always busy work to keep the hands and mind busy.   A lovely group of ladies and not a grouch in the bunch..smile!!

So, you are getting off easy today and I will go and get dressed, make my bed, maybe run a dust cloth around but not before I have a refill and listen to some news as I hunker down in my chair and in no rush to get on with the day.    Getting older does have an advantage or two..smile!!

So....go....have yourself a day to remember.   Be sure you do a good deed...be kind...be YOU.    Hugs to all.

Hump Day-Wednesday!!!

The morning sky is telling a tale this morning as it has a bit of light sky but also a lot of dark sky so it tells a tale of mystery.  Not a leaf stirring.  It is dark in the hospital wing, the night light is still on in the outside of the building and the workers cars are parked on 'my' side this morning.  The sameness of a morning  is good as a tale is hidden in the clouds, yet to be told.   Hump Day, mid week, and I am planning a quiet day as I was off and running yesterday having fun playing the rich mans game trying to win a bundle...haven't found out how that works yet but I still try..ha.ha.   Meanwhile the cloud cover this morning is fascinating as it is broken in small bits and pieces.  It has a lot of light blue but the darker clouds over rule it and make it look stormy out there.  Not a leaf stirring.   Picture clouds, the kind to have fun with.  The hospital wing is closed tight with the exception of one window with a bright light on.  Some one is awake.    Four of the parked cars parked on my side this morning are all light in color, two white, one beige, one grey;  can't see the ones further down but all look new and not a junker in the bunch.    yeah, I know I have said that once or twice before.   So having little or nothing in the line of new news, I am going to refill my coffee cup, feet up on the hassock, television on and sit quietly for awhile.   I wish you a 'good' morning, enjoy your morning choice of a hot or cold drink;  I prefer hot..coffee...aah!!!   So...I am off to do a lot of sitting for awhile and maybe, just maybe I'll motivate a  bit later....maybe!!   Go...have yourself a day to remember.  Hugs to all.

New Tuesday!!

Good morning!!!  It is a dark sky, no stars, no moon, no noise of any kind, even the car motors of the incoming workers are quiet, maybe five a.m. or less, I haven't looked at the clock...ha,ha...if I did, I'd be back under the covers...but...the body clock is awake and says it is time to get up and blog...blog!!! about???   I didn't go anywhere, or do anything exciting but the day went by fast and I have a brand new one to contend with.....shoe shopping...ooh!!! not fun, expensive and when you have 'long-fellows' it isn't easy to find 'a good looking shoe'.....but I am sure there is a pair waiting just for me and I'll be good for another year or two..ha.ha. 

The worker cars are coming in and I get a bit of the headlights as they park under my window.   I've been sipping my hot black coffee wishing for that some one thing to go with it but 'there is nothing good in this house';  have you heard that before?   ha..ha.  only a dozen times.

So....I am going to love you and leave you.  I hope your day is going to be one of your best yet.   Be good,  be kind, be gentle and lift the corners of your mouth...be a friend today...a good one....a loving one....one who makes the world light up when you walk in the door.

Go...be YOU and spread a bit of love and laughter.  Hugs to all.

And A New Week Begins!!!

Good Monday morning;  I think it is all of five a.m., maybe a bit later, but not by much.   The court yard is dark with the exception of the one night light on the side of the building.  If the birds are up there on the roof top it is to dark to see them...and I might add a bit too early to look..smile.

The start of a new week, um.....wonder what is in store for us . . . a bit of the good, the bad and the ugly...smile....and the thought comes to mind 'you only get out of it what you put into it' so that gives us a little food for thought. 

I am off for a refill, turn on the television and watch the news to see what happened in the wee hours.   . . .  hopefully some good news to offset the bad news, one never knows what the 'mix' will be.   I wish you a good day, all day. 

My coffee cup is empty....need a refill...aah...then feet up, tv on for awhile and a new day, a new week, the good, the bad, the ugly to contend with and a prayer or two to be able to handle it all.    So.....I wish you a 'good' week...'good' health....'a bit of wealth'...which you will share..smile.    what is that old song...'we aint got a barrel of money, maybe  its cloudy and sunny, but we'll travel along, singing a song, side by side" so...let us get on with our day and make it a good one.   Hugs to all.

Saturday...again!!!

Time flies whether you are having fun or not;  it is Saturday morning around five a.m. and I am awake sitting here at the computer;  looking out into a driveway and I see a couple of lights on in two of the rooms across the way.  My coffee cup is full,  aah!!!! and I have open eyes but I don't think I am fully awake yet...but..working on it..smile.

The night light is shining on a car roof top which looks wet...um...wonder if we had a little rain in the night.  This is the time of morning when you cannot see the morning sky from the earth, it is all one, even the trees fade into the mix.  Quiet....silence...nice!!!

It is a new Saturday and I have not made any plans for today;  guess I will take what comes my way and see what develops ....If you are still snoozing....good....don't get up on my account...smile......grab a few more of those z's and hopefully enjoying a dream or two.  As for me, my coffee cup is empty so off for a refill and to blog.....hope your day is wonderful, filled with bright and beautiful people and events.....go....enjoy the day.  Hugs to all.

A New Friday Morning!!

Good morning.   Darkness out there in the court yard with the exception of a car or two finding its way to a parking spot.   No lights on in the building itself, it is early, and it is Friday and it is much to early to want to be up and about. 

How are you this morning?  I hope you are well, feeling good and ready for a new weekend.   Are you doing anything special?  Going places?   Take time to have fun and do something you have been wanting to do.   That tune is in my brain..."I'm making a list and checking it twice, going to find out who is naughty and nice...Santa Clause is coming to town"   . . . and you thought I forgot the words....So....it is shop until you drop time;  the list gets longer each year and choosing just the right gift is not always easy...but..you can and you will do it...smile.

Remember that 'good deeds' does not have a price tag;  so...get busy!!

I am off for a refill;  turn on the tv and see what happened during the night hours.   . . . and. . . I might even get in a snooze or two and wait for a little light in the skies.   I am humming...."I don't want to get up...I don't want to get up...it is to early in the morning!!"   and my cup is empty....horrors!!!   I am going for a refill, hunker down in my easy chair, turn on the television and think about getting 'motivated' some time soon....but not just yet!!!  Hugs to all.

Thursday Morning

Good Morning.   It is dark outside my window, no lights on in the hospital wing, a few small puddles on the ground and silence.   A new day to find things to do and places to go.  I have no special plans but I am sure I will think of something as the morning hours slip away.    Right now I am heading for a coffee refill, my cup is empty...um...how did that happen...smile!!!

It is too dark to see if the little bird has taken up its spot on the roof top across the way.  The night light is on and it shows the puddle on the ground, no, I am mistaken as it is a glare on a car rooftop that is shining under the night light.  The cars are parked on 'my' side this morning.

Silence . . . a nice 'sound';   I am amazed at how the worker cars glide in and there is no loud motor noises. 

My coffee cup is empty so off I go for a refill, turn on the television and find out what has happened in our world during the night hours.   Thursday is a good day to catch up with yourself and regroup from all the Halloween activities...I hope you were lucky to have some little goblins at your door.  It was very quiet around here, the old folks settled in for the night and no one came knocking at the door for a goodie or two....I guess I will have to indulge to bulge as I have a lot of those little milky way bars....and I do like them, sorry to say....smile!!

Have yourself a new day filled with the challenges of getting out and about and having a 'bit of fun';   time to start that Christmas list and think....what shall I buy for????   Shopping...doesn't that have a nice ring to it?    What do you mean 'NO!!"   ha, ha. Go find your spirit and make good use of it..ha.ha.  remind me of that when I grouse about shopping.   I'm off for a coffee refill, television on, feet up for awhile longer and maybe even a little more snoozing before the day really begins.    Have yourself a day to remember.   Hugs to all.
