A New Monday!!

Good Morning.   It is beginning to show some light in our skies this morning.  The hospital wing is dark with the exception of one window and that has a tiny Christmas tree all lit up. The cars are parked on 'my' side this morning.  If it were lighter I could see in the windows but then there really is nothing to see..smile.

No breeze of any kind, and to dark on the roof top to see if the bird is there or not.   A brand new Monday and it is early, dark, inviting enough to go back for a few more minutes of snoozing, but....once awake ...that's it....up and stay up and give you a good morning hug.

We have a new week to work with, hopefully places to go and things to do.  The sky is very beautiful this time of the morning, a soft baby blue, a small patch of white clouds and the shadows within the tall trees has a bit of pink showing, a promise of sunshine a bit later I think.

So....we have a new Monday...the beginning of a new week, one we hope will be productive, fun, and busy;  the way we like it....smile.  Be a ray of sunshine today, good deeds do not hurt, even a little bit.   Be a friend to a friend and make your world a happier place.  Go...be YOU and have a sunshine day.
  Hugs to all.

Sunday Morning!!!

It is pitch black outside my window this morning, and well it should be, it cannot be more than five thirty, six at most, I haven't looked at the clock.   I am awake, or almost as I look out the window to a dark sky but there are two hospital windows with lights on so some folks are early risers.   The night light on the side of the hospital building reflects on a car roof and it looks like it may have been raining.  It is a new Sunday, soon I'll find out what kind of a day we are in for when light comes and the sky tells its tale of the day.

I had a stay in Saturday so there is no new news to share.  I think I told you all there was to tell yesterday.   Quiet days are not bad, being busy is better, but we need the mix and watching a good movie on the television or reading a few chapters in a good book keeps us all content.   Best of all is having company for tea and sharing something tasty.

So, we have a new  Sunday to enjoy.   I am off for a refill of my coffee, turn on the television and find out what happened in the night  hours.    My little block with the Prayer of Serenity is here to share..."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."  Have yourself a day to remember, hugs to share, faces to love and friends to spend time with.  Go...be You...make today what the old folks used to call a "banner" day.   Be good, be kind, be generous to a fault....and share you with those you love and like.  Hugs to all.

Saturday...all day!!!

Good Morning.   I am up, awake???? Not yet..but working on it.   I am looking out my window and it is the time of morning when the sky is black and the trees have disappeared into the darkness.   It is Saturday and the weekend begins.  I have no special plans, as yet, but I am sure I will find reasons to put my shoes on and go out the door.   Meanwhile, my coffee cup is empty and I need a refill.  I have nothing to tell you about this morning as I didn't do anything exciting or interesting yesterday.   I did have some drop in company and that is always good and fun.  I enjoy having a visitor or two and share a cup of tea and something 'good' to sweeten our disposition ...smile!!!

So, go...have a good day, all day, doing what you want to do.    Of course there are things that have to be done so get them done and out of the way.   Enjoy your Saturday doing what it is you love to do on Saturday..sleeping in???  I bet...whatever you choose to do, enjoy....share you with those you love and like.  Make your Saturday special, like you, and have a good day, all day.

Coffee....aah!!!  I'd share if you were here.   Make today a day to remember doing good deeds, sharing you with those you love and like.

I was gifted with a new puzzle which I will share with the puzzle folks upstairs.  It is going to be a very difficult one, a puzzle to drive us crazy and we thrive on that...smile.   

Have a Saturday to remember....share hugs, good deeds, a meal or two, or even a trip out to the stores for left overs....Go...have a day that is spectacular!!!  Hugs to all.

Friday...already!!!

The old adage of 'time flies when your having fun' must be in good stead as it is Friday morning and I'd say about five a.m. and it is pitch black outside, no cars moving, no lights on in the hospital wing and here I am wide awake, seconds on coffee and wishing I was a sleeper so I could be snoozing for another hour or so...but...that is not what my body clock has to say and here I am wide awake, empty cup, and trying to find a few words of greeting....that is not easy at this time of day....but you are worth the effort...ha.ha.   smile...not everyone has a wake up hello at five a..m....ha,ha...and I am sure really does not want one....so I'll be kind and wish you a good day, all day, doing what you want to do.  I hope your day is special...just like YOU!!!   Have a good one.  I'm off for a refill and check out the news.    Make your today a 'banner' one!!!  Hugs to all.

Thursday Morning

Good Morning.   Night sky, two windows with lights over at the hospital wing and not a car moving in or out of the parking lot.  It must be all of five a.m. and folks like to sleep in, well there are exceptions...smile.

Coffee is hot and tasty.  Nothing good to go with it.   I wonder if the bakers make those long crullers.  I remember stopping off at the bakery to buy some doughnuts when I used to go down to visit my sister-in-law, Eileen, a long time ago, and stop off to buy a dozen and that always included the big round fat jelly doughnuts.   And you wondered how I got this girlish figure...ha.ha.

It is quiet out there in the parking lot.  Nothing moving at the moment.  There are two windows with lights on in the hospital wing, one with a tiny Christmas tree which I bet will come down today.   The holiday is about over, but don't worry there is another one coming along soon.  I'll be right back, coffee cup is empty, Mortimer the Ghost must be here, I don't remember drinking all that coffee....

We have a new day.  I wonder what is in store for us.   Packing away the Christmas decorations for one thing.   Running a dust cloth around wouldn't hurt and maybe there will be an invitation to go out and about a bit later today.  The stores must have their after holiday sales. 

So, I am off to start my new day , don't rush to wake up, you have the whole day ahead of you.   Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Love and Hugs.

Wednesday Morning!!!

The day after Christmas, a new day to catch up with ourselves, relax after all the excitement of the holiday and hopefully take time for the thank you notes ...it is a must job after the wonders of the holiday.   It is pitch black outside my window, a few cars moving in as a worker comes in for the day.  The trees blend into the sky and the night light on the side of the building leads the way in for the workers parking their cars.  It is around five a.m. and I have been here at the typewriter for a good hour, early wake up , a habit of a life time...

My coffee is hot and tasty;  there is nothing 'good' in this house....I'll open my door if you have a treat in hand...smile!!!

I hope your day is a good one and you enjoy the hours as you catch up with yourself.   Holidays are fun but it takes a few days to regroup and get back into that normal cycle of behaving...back to work, back to catching up with ourselves.

So, go...have yourself a good day, all day.    Be good, be kind, be generous, be YOU!!!!   Hugs to all.

Christmas Morning!!

Good Morning to YOU,  Good Morning to YOU....It is Christmas....how wonderful, a day that is special, a day that is wanted and yearned for, a day to celebrate YOU, Family and Friends.    The sky is a beautiful pale blue with pink clouds and a few white ones floating about.  The trees are still, worker cars are parked and quiet is the name of this early morning.    The TV is on, Cowboys...what else?  ha, ha.    My shoes are on, awaiting the girls to go out for breakfast.  I am hungry, but then I am always hungry.  Bacon and eggs or pancakes..um...have time to think about which one or maybe a mix this morning...I am hungry.   I am one of those who hit the floor, the kitchen, and food before the eyes are even open...I didn't get his girlish figure from lack of early morning breakfast...smile. 

So.....I wish you a Merry Christmas, a blessed day, a day that you will remember for a very long time.   I hope Santa was good to you and you are content and smiling.  I hope today is a day to celebrate family and friends and relax and enjoy.  I hope you have a good day, all day.....and take time to look up, the sky is really pretty this morning, little islands of blue withing the bright white of some clouds drifting bye.   Merry Christmas, I love you today and every day...smile.....just because YOU are so easy to love.   Have a day that remains in your memory banks....be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!!  Hugs to all.

It's Monday Morning!!

Good Morning.  A new Monday, um...wonder what is in store for us today.  It is pitch black out my window so I cannot see the sky, or light, but speaking of light the little  Christmas tree across the way is shining bright and looks very pretty this morning.  There are two rooms with lights on, and one with the television on, so folks are waking up and getting ready for a new day.   My coffee is hot and so good, eyes are opening and now for the brain, hopefully with words to greet you with.  There is a choral group on, sounds like they are stuck in a slow rendition of something, but what I have no idea, not a favorite group so early in the morning.  I need a little jazz to wake me up...smile, or  a little polka might do it.  The road has a puddle or two.  I thought there was a break in the lights that surround the roof top but it is just the way they are set and have a pattern of two, four and then ten and not a light bulb out...smile.  Early risers over in the hospital wing as the room lights are on with the exception of one room.  It is dark and quiet out in the parking lot, no cars moving in or out at the moment.   A brand new day starts and hopefully we are ready for it.

The music group area dragging out a tune which could put me back to sleep...I will have to change the station so I can stay awake.    So...off I go to take care of business and wake up to a new day;  hopefully one filled with places to go, things to do and if necessary complete the tasks that need it.   I hope your day is a good one and you wake up feeling g r e a t, just like Tony the Tiger!!! 

Be good, be kind, be gentle, be a friend, be a lover, be YOU!!!!  Hugs to all.

Sunday Night

Hello.    I have been catching up, or trying to, and it is hard when you have little or nothing to say....me speechless....ha.ha.   never!!!  But, there are times when there are not enough words to share, especially when you have not done anything special or spectacular to share....It was Sunday all day.   I spent some time with my girls and that is always special.   I had a good day, so I am not complaining.

I have been on the computer catching up with myself and friends who are sharing and caring.  How lucky I am.

My tiny Christmas tree is all aglow and looking very pretty in the corner.  My Christmas cards are underneath and I thank each one for remembering me .  The cards are always wonderful, loving and beautiful, especially the words that are added.  I thank each and everyone of you.

I am going to put the tea kettle on, sip some hot tea and maybe find something good to go with it..although....I don't think I left anything out there in the kitchen that has sugar in it..smile.    Well, I have a sweet tooth...or two or three..ha.ha.

I wish you a good rest of today. I hope you had a good day, all day and found folks to love and things to do.  Sweet dreams when you get there.  Catch up when you have time.   Make sure your time is well spent in sharing and caring.  Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

A New Saturday!!!

Good morning!!!  I am almost awake, coffee in hand...aah...so the eyes will open and the brain kick in gear and we will be on our way to a new Saturday, all day....cannot see where the sky begins and ends;   dark outside my window with the exception of the roof lights on the hospital wing.  There is one window shade open showing a lovely little Christmas tree with a very bright star.  Cars are moving in, workers coming in for the day and I am betting they are wishing they were cuddled in their beds snoozing for another hour or two...but...work is work and someone has to do it.   Glad my working days are behind me, although they were fun and good while they lasted. 

A new Saturday to enjoy and I think my girls are taking me up town to see the Christmas decorations and browse a bit.  I am thinking I'll treat them to lunch out and I know where they serve a very good tasty hamburger. So.....I will love you and leave you and open the other eye..smile.   Have yourself a good day, all day, doing what it is you want to do...that is important....remember not what you HAVE to do but what you WANT to do..smile.

Get in the spirit and shop until you drop...get that list down to a bare minimum.   The candy shop has a delightful selection of goodies that please the hardest taste on your list...go see...If you do not make your own fudge they do have some that is very good and tasty.   Bon bons are never out of style.   smile.

Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Have one of those days you just cannot forget and don't want to.    Hugs to all.

It Is Saturday!!!

Good morning.   I am up, not awake all the way but working on it.  It is pitch black out my window, worker cars all parked on my side and nothing is moving, silence so I am going to make a little noise, put on my coffee, find something to go with it and watch a bit of news...and...wake up..smile.

I hope your Saturday is a good one...I hope you finish up your shopping.  I think today there is free wrapping in town when you buy gifts down there.  If not mistaken, think my Christine is helping out.

I have one eye open, want my coffee but have to go make it.  So off I go..going to enjoy Saturday, all day, and hope to find a gift or two and finish my list.   I would sing you a good morning but my vocal cords are still asleep;  how lucky can you get???  ha, ha. 

Be good, be kind, be generous to a fault and have a good day ...all day...doing what you do best..being YOU...with love and laughter to share. 

Hugs to all.

Friday Morning

The sky is dark, trees are still, roof lights on in the hospital wing and cars are already parked so there is nothing moving and no noise of any kind.  I have already emptied my coffee cup so will go for a refill in a bit.   My little calendar says it is Friday morning so a new day is about to begin....let us hope for a good one.

At the moment my eyes are open but the brain is still asleep.....don't want to wake up as it is pitch black out my window, no movement of any kind, and I see a new tiny Christmas tree in another window of the hospital wing.  One of the patients has the television on and a tiny tree lit in the window, cute and colorful. 

I have said my  Prayer of Serenity in hopes of a good day, all day.   In case you do not have it..."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." Words for a good day, all day...smile.

So, make a plan, follow it through, have a day that you will long remember.  Finish your shopping, don't forget to check and recheck your list so you do not forget anyone.   Send a verbal hug to those not close bye. 

I am off for a refill, hot coffee...aah....sit in my easy chair, watch some news, feet up...um...some mornings are like that...ha.ha. 

Be good, be kind, be gentle, be a lover....Hugs to all.

A New Thursday!!

Time flies whether you are having fun or not...smile....first sip of coffee....aah!!!  Hot and delicious, ate a stale doughnut, you would think, by this time, I would learn but.....smile!!

It is Thursday, no shades open in the hospital wing, cars parked on my side this morning and the lights are bright on the roof top and they run in a series of two, four and nine.   It makes for a nice trim around the building.    There is one early riser, the rest are dark and all is quiet.  In this building the sleepers are housed, not a soul stirring, no noise of any kind.  I have my television on but low.  I have one eye open and my coffee cup is empty so off I go...a new day...hopefully a good day sharing and caring with those I love and like.   Smile....I am singing "Hail, hail, the gangs all here"  ..ha.ha. 
Hugs
I hope your day is fantastic and you get all of your chores done.  It is time to decide what to get for those on your list and it is not as easy as we would like it to be.  Some folks seem to have everything;  some folks have wants you cannot fill;  some folks would appreciate attention, a wonderful gift when you share time.   So, 'wake up, wake up, you sleepy head;  get up, get up, get out of bed'   all off key but it is early...smile.

Go, have yourself a day to remember.   Be good, be kind, be generous to a fault and open up those arms for hugs are one of the best gifts you can share.  Share YOU with those you love and like.   Hugs to all.

A New Morning!!!

Good Wednesday morning, pitch black out my window, a few cars coming in as the hospital workers drive in and park for the day...lots to be done...folks to help mend and cheer up.   A couple of folks are up over there as their Christmas trees are all lit up;  look bright and beautiful, tiny trees that sparkle with colored lights and I get to enjoy the view....more when I get the eyes open...it is early....it is quiet and the trees are still. 

My coffee is hot and delicious, a wake upper and there is nothing good in this house...ha.ha.  I bet you said that with me.   Well, toast isn't all bad but it just does make the taste buds sit up and take notice.   Next time I shop I will have to put some powdered sugar doughnuts on my list....ha, ha.  who am I kidding, they would be the first to go!!!

Wednesday morning, mid week and time goes bye like it knows what it is doing.  There is work to be done, chores to finish up and a trip to the store before the day is over.   I cannot believe all the good stuff is gone, well pinch and inch and I'd find out...smile.

So....go...have a good day doing what you do best.  Be good, be kind, be gentle and don't forget the hugs.  Don't forget to check your list; so.... be good, be kind, be gentle and share a hug or two.

Go...be YOU.....have yourself a day to remember!!  Hugs to all.

Tuesday Night Time.....Bed Time....

Hello.   Have I neglected you?  I hope not, but I find it is time to turn in and I see I should have, could have, would have written a today note but the mind is changing, goes off by itself, and I find that I didn't do what I intended to do; forgot to do what I was going to do;  or just plain got busy doing other things that kept the mind occupied and content....So someone pays a price when someone changes their mind about following a routine...boring??? Nah...just a 'moment'  ...and I am having more than one...ha.ha....

Well hello anyway, late or not.  I am about to turn in with my book, have a chapter or two I want to finish up and find out who did what and when..ha.ha.  you'll never know!!!

I had a good day.  I spent time with daughter Christine and did some of the paper work she has to do...envelopes and such...and I must do a good job as she invites me back...smile.

We had a big storm, I missed it as I was busy working away and didn't look out, but the news made it sound like it was awesome....must have been on the other side of town as it didn't seem to be doing much where I was...ha.ha.

It was a good day.  A busy day.  Busy is good.  I accomplished what I set out to do and that is a feather in my cap.   I am slowing down so when I have a day where I have shown a bit of productivity, then I can brag a bit. 

I have a wonderful loving niece who spoils me with gifts....she never fails to send me a treat, usually some cash to go out on the town with and take my girls with me...breakfast out...it is almost a tradition and I certainly am thankful for her thoughtfulness and her generosity.   How lucky I am she cares...how lucky I am she wants to be good to me....yes...a special young lady and one I have loved for a very long time.   Better not say that out loud or she will think I am saying she is 'old'...ha.ha.  far from it, has a way to go and no matter how hard she tries she cannot catch up with me...smile!!!

So...you have all my words for today.  I am about to 'hit the sack' as the saying goes and have a good book going.  Now if I can keep the eyes open for a bit, I may get another chapter or two in. 

I wish you sweet dreams.  I wish you a bright and beautiful tomorrow.  I wish you holidays that will stay in your memory banks.  I wish you love...I wish you luck...I wish you contentment.   Go....be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Monday Morning

Time...flies, goes bye like it knows what it is doing and I am up and wondering what the new week is going to be like...time is going bye fast and there is much to be done as the Christmas holiday draws near.   We gripe, we groan, we moan but we wouldn't have it any other way....smile.

I have had my first cup of hot coffee and am staring at an empty cup, eyes not open all the way yet but I am working on it.   I have not opened the blinds but I am going to stop right now and do that.  I'll be back

Coffee,  aah!!!!  Hot and black!!!  And, outside my window there is darkness in the sky but down here the night light is on  along with the roof lights, and two windows with open blinds and I see a patient in bed in one and a beautiful small tree all lit up in the other.  The rest of the windows are all black...so a few sleepy heads are 'sawing' away. 

It is a new Monday, the start of a new week,  and a time to get busy with your list and finish up so you can wrap and be all set for the Christmas holiday.   I am never really all ready, smile, as I thought I did everything I planned and find out I still have a few things yet to do.   Time is a blessing, so I will get busy and finish my list...if only I could think of something really special that would fit the bill....

I hope your new week is a good one.  I hope you find that special gift for those you love and like.   I hope you stay healthy and happy and enjoy all the festivities of the season.   Be bright and cheerful, spread a little of YOU around.  Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Sunday, Sunday, la, la, la.....

Good Morning.  It has to be a little after five a.m. and I am drinking my first cup of hot coffee...aah!!!  It is pitch black out my widow as far as the sky is concerned, but there is one light on in one of the hospital rooms and a tiny Christmas tree is all aglow...very pretty.    Quiet...silence...it is very early .... and I am waking up, have a way to go but working on it.   Now you may be hunkered down, snoozing away, lost in a lovely dream world with no intention of getting up for some time....lucky you.

We have a new Sunday and if all goes well we will make good use of it.  I have no plans at the moment, but when you have only one eye open and still thinking of waking up when you know you would much rather go back to bed, shut of the light and get in a few more hours but a life time habit of early up works still and the body clock listens...but, not to me...smile.

The worker cars are coming in, one parking under my window right now.  I hope the coffee pot is on for them as it is much to early to be up and moving.  You can bet the patients are sleeping with no need or want to be awake at this early hour.  I see the pavement is still wet so we must have had some rain in the night.   So....lets take a page from their book, go back to bed, snooze for another hour or so and then start a new Sunday.   I cannot see anything wrong with that...can you? 

Have yourself a good Sunday doing what you want to do ..not what you have to do..ha.ha.   fat chance....the chores await Sunday or not.   So....I will go for a refill, hunker down in my easy chair, turn n the  tv and sleep through whatever is on...sounds like plan.  Go....have yourself a good day, all day, doing what you want to do....finish your shopping;  visit a friend;   take someone to lunch, just make sure you make today a good day, all day.  Hugs to all.

Saturday Morning

Good morning to you, good morning to you...I'm singing...ha.ha.   good thing your sound is low or out..ha.ha. 

It is Saturday morning and it has to be all of five a..m. but then I could be wrong as I've been sitting here at the computer for awhile now and I did a blog ...wonder what I said????  ha...ha.   I am almost awake...working on it, but am not in a hurry.

It is pitch black out my window, worker cars are coming in slowly, only one room has lights on, the same early riser every morning.  It is Saturday all day and I wonder what is in store for us.   There is more Christmas shopping to do, there is a list with nothing on it ...but...I am sure I will find something in my travels.  Speaking of travels, I am off to the kitchen for a refill...

So...go...have yourself a good day, all day, doing what you love to do best.   Be a good friend, be one to share a hug and enjoy it...be YOU....coffee cup is empty...oh dear...well you know what I am up to...

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

Friday All Day!!!

 Good Morning!!!  I have been loafing..sitting in my chair doing a lot of nothing....day dreaming...or, at best, hoping...smile!!!!

A cloudy day, a Friday all day, I am showered, dressed, shoes on, and waiting to go up for lunch;  early lunch time here but then I wake up early and have a very early breakfast so I am always at the ready...food...food...ha, ha.....

My brain is on the foggy side but at this age that is something that happens more often than not and one has to find ways to circumvent the inevitable of being foggy, dizzy, silly, stupid, or whatever else wends its way this way.  So, it is a good thing you know me and understand what ageing does....and I can assure you it is not always what you think or want....it is like wishful thinking...smile!!!

So, I am ready for lunch and probably will stay up awhile to puzzle with whoever shows up ready and willing to find some pieces of a big puzzle that is really hard.  The kind we like...smile.

It wants to continue to rain, lots of big grey clouds up there and a bit of light behind a few of the darker ones, quite pretty to say the least.   The trees are still, no movement this morning;  maybe when the clouds move the trees will cooperate...smile.

I hope your Friday is a good one.  I hope you find things to do that make you smile.   I am off to lunch and hope your day is a good one...be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

Thursday Morning...about Six A.M.

Good morning.  Are you awake?  I am almost awake , working on it, up and moving, drinking my hot coffee and wishing for a big fat jelly doughnut but that is in my dreams as there is 'nothing good in this house'...ha.ha.  you have heard that before.   It is somewhere around five a.m., it is a Thursday all day and I have high hopes of going off for a little look around to see what is out there. 

I had a good yesterday although the mind is changing and I am not remembering ...guess that goes with age...and I am getting to 'that' age....don't like it but there is not much one can do about it but take one day as it comes and make it the best one can....good words, now to make it happen...smile.

Right this minute it is pitch black out my window.  The worker cars are moving in slowly and there is only one light on in the hospital windows showing a lovely little Christmas tree, all lit up with a big star shining brightly. A new day begins and will unfold as it goes and we will find out what we want to do as well as what we have to do.    So, I wish you a good day, all day, and I hope you have your list ready and your shoes on so you can go out your door and finish up that list.   Maybe a trip to a book store and find out what the latest best seller is.  I have a reader on my list.  Maybe the candy store and see what is special this year and buy some for my dish and maybe a little extra for those who stop in. 

So, wake up, get up, get dressed and put your shoes on Lucy don't you know your in the city..la, la, la....ha..ha...been awhile since I sang that little ditty.   Have yourself a day to remember. Be good, be kind, be YOU.

Hump Day!!

Coffee....aah!!!  What would I do without my morning cup of coffee....I'd hate to find out...smile.

Good morning.  How are you this morning?  I am not awake,but working on it...the eyes are open, the mind still asleep but it is wake up time and the blinds are open to a black outside, night light on in the hospital building and it is nice to see the lights that trim the roof top and the little Christmas tree all aglow in one of the hospital windows, but other than that it is pure black out there.  I am not sure about the weather as I think rain is in the forecast.  I hear the words 'government shut down' so the games begin ..once again....idle threats get us nowhere but the Washingtonians think it does.   

My yesterday was a quiet day and quiet days are good for us.  I find  my mind is changing a little more each day but at this age it is an accepted fact and there is little one can do to change getting old, it is a good thing really....as some wise person would say, 'it beats the alternative'....

No, I am not ready for Christmas, but then I never am..I am one of those last minute shoppers as I remember I didn't finish my list but only thought I did.   Age is wisdom someone said...um...wonder what they were thinking about!!!

So...a new week, a new day today, rain in the forecast and a list to make so I do not miss anyone but the usual 'what to buy' for that one person is always a challenge.  I still think socks are the best gift, the louder the better, ha.ha.ha....

Coffee is gone, cup is empty...where did all that coffee go....well, I need a refill and I am going out into my kitchen and refill my cup, hunker down in my chair, watch the news and put my feet up for another hour or so and then I'll be ready for a new day....or maybe a short snooze...smile!!

Go, have yourself a day you will remember for a long time to come.   Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU....make your new day the best one yet.   Hugs to all.

Tuesday, all day

Good morning...a new Tuesday to find things to do and places to go.   The sky is changing from night blackness to a beautiful blue with a few dark streaks as daylight comes.  No movement in the trees....quiet...silence out there...no worker cars coming in as the day workers are already in and working.  There is one Christmas tree shining bright and beautiful in one of the hospital windows very pretty, makes me smile.   It is tiny and has a huge star on top.  A new day, have no special plans but that doesn't mean I cannot make some...have to wake up and put on my 'thinking cap'....been awhile since you heard that expression...smile!!

So I have an empty coffee cup, an empty chair and they both need filling..smile.

I wish you a day that is special, fun, filled with loving folks who cannot wait to share time with you.   Get your Christmas list out and check it so you do not miss anyone...Shop until you drop and don't forget the wrapping paper.   A package of bows will help. 

Make your today special, just like you.    I am off for a refill, feet up, news on and will hunker down for awhile longer.   Lazy is good!!   Bye for now, I'll be back...smile!!!

A New Week Begins!!!

Monday morning, Monday morning, la, la, la,...foggy, almost a rain spot or two on the tarmac, wants to rain but has not made its mind....trees are still,  no breeze at all.  The start of a new week, wonder what is in store for us...we are about to find out..smile!!!

I have dressed but no shoes on;  yuck, want to be Huckleberry Finn and go without shoes;  slippers are not all bad, but bare feet have a story all their own..smile!!

One of the night workers from the hospital wing has keys in hand as he approaches his car, getting ready to back out and home to snooze awhile...has to be hard to be a night worker but then I guess they get used to it. 

I am about to warn you that my mind is changing, slowing down, getting used to this age and not really liking it but it is working and that is what is important....I am  sure that I am not going to brag about how long I've been around...when I get to the Methuselah age I'll start to brag.  Come to think of it, I don't have far to go...ha.ha.ha....

So, I have said my good morning, hope your day is wonderful, like you....and I am off to my easy chair, a little more television and then off to lunch.   I am hungry so am trying hard not to 'nosh';  that is so easy to do..smile.

Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU....give a little, get a lot...smile.    Hugs...come to mind......a little smooch on the cheek always feels good...GO!!! Have yourself a day to remember.  Hugs to all.

Sunday morning

Good Sunday morning, pitch black outside my window, cannot tell the sky from the earth and the beauty of this morning is a tiny Christmas tree that is all lit up and shining bright along with a big star in a window over in the hospital wing...very lovely.  There is a trail of lights along the roof top, all yellow, would be nice to add a little Christmas color but 'gold' is good...smile.

Yesterday was the Christmas Tea at the Gallery and Lois and I went and enjoyed it.  The goodies are all homemade and delicious as is the tea and I would venture to say that we all had a very good time. 

There is blackness out my window so you cannot tell the earth from the sky, shadows, dark and mysterious, and the folks must be sleeping in as there are few lights on over there in the hospital wing.   It is Sunday after all, a day to sleep in...for some, and then there are others like me who wake up and get up even if they do not have to; bad habits prevail...ha.ha.

So to sum things up, the Tea was a success and a big thank you goes out to the crew who work so hard to make it so.   It is a new day, Sunday, and hopefully it is going to be a good one.  I have no special plans....as yet...smile....but I am sure something will come up.   So.....go....be good, be kind, be gentle and share YOU with those you love and like.   Make your today one to add to your memory bank....put a little love and laughter in your life, then relax and enjoy the day....all day.   Hugs to all.

   

Saturday Morning

At this time of the morning, not quite five thirty a.m., the sky is dark, no shading between the earth and the sky.  Across the way, in the hospital wing there are two windows that have the shades up and the lights on.  One has a lovely little Christmas tree about two foot tall and it is lit up with a big beautiful star on top, the other shows the occupant laying there still, probably woke up and decided it was too early and went back to sleep forgetting the shades are open.  A few worker cars are coming in and parking on 'my' side so they are right under my window.  It is pitch black so I really cannot see them until they open the car door then get lost in the darkness as they cross the tarmac to the doorway.   A new day, a Saturday and there is a Tea at the Gallery today.  They are always well represented, food is delicious as is the hot tea and the company always good.  Something to look forward to.

So....I have places to go, things to do and some words to share tomorrow.   I hope your today is wonderful, like YOU....I hope you have a good day ..all day.  I wish you a beautiful sunshine day.   And....there is no reason you cannot enjoy a tea party of your own...put on the kettle...invite a friend in and have a treat or two with your cuppa...smile.   

Be good, be kind, be gentle, make your seconds count.  Hugs to all.

Post Two this morning!!

I was about to close off and go for a refill, hunker down in my chair and watch the news but I looked out of the window to a scene that I want to share as it is really very beautiful..stillness of the early morning; probably around five thirty a.m. and there is not a sign of a breeze.  The trees are still and the sky is a soft blue with a tinge of darker blue running through, and quiet prevails.  Silence...early morning quiet, so soft, so all encompassing as it surrounds you with a beauty all its own.  A new day begins....a day for love, hope and sharing.

Enjoy today.   Be good, be kind, be gentle, and have a day to remember.

Friday Morning

Good morning!!! I have one eye open  I am really not awake but here I sit and the computer only works when the fingers work and the mind....mind????  what mind?   I think mine is still asleep...and I am looking at the blackness of early morning, night is moving back slowly and I cannot tell where the sky begins and ends as it is still pitch black outside.   I am in no hurry, coffee cup needs refilling and my mind needs to awaken.....a new day a Friday, and I am not sure I want to be up and about so early....I do not have to....just bad habits...smile!!!

Today is laundry day so it will be good to get that done and over with.  I am still waiting for the day of disposable clothing, guess not in my lifetime.   I think Adam and Eve had the right idea, a few fig leaves and all was well....smile.

So it is Friday and there are places to go and things to do today.   The Christmas chores are lining up;   cards, stamps, shopping ....the needs and wants to be checked....The best gift of all is still the same....'time with YOU"....so we cannot always have what we want but we can cherish the memories and work at finding time to share when we can.   Time with YOU is always the best of times.

Go....have yourself a day that will stay in your memory bank.   A good deed, a hug or two, a smile always....practice, practice, practice!!!

My love and good wishes for a bright and beautiful day.  Go....make it happen.

Thursday ...all day!!

Night time is still out my window but then it is not much past five a.m., some folks wake up to a private ring that says early is good;  I could argue but it would not do any good as it is now a life time habit which I don't think I can break but then do I really want to....Nope!!!  I am happy being up and awake, or almost, as it is really the only time I get to see the no light of day and have to wait for it to come.   The worker cars are arriving slowly.  The window shades of the hospital wing are still down and a huge truck is slowly coming into the alley way.  A new day is about to begin but first the coffee cup is empty and I need a refill....

do you know that fig bars taste good early in the morning...they do!!

 It must be cold outside as it is a bit cold here in the big window where my computer is;  can't miss anything..ha, ha....

I notice the workers coming in are very good about driving in slowly and silently.  They are thoughtful and caring and you never hear a 'hot' motor, silence is the name in use.   Having to get up and out by five a.m. has to be hard, they probably are still half asleep and in no hurry to wake up to a new work day...especially when it is pitch black out there.  The hardest thing for me is seeing that old lady's reflection in the window....wonder who she is....ha.ha....

My coffee is so good...my special treat is gone and it was delicious and now to blog about ??? who knows....well, I guess I have already said all I have today this morning with the exception of wishing you a day that is bright and beautiful...so go, have yourself a day to remember.....be good ...be kind...be gentle....be YOU!!!   Spread a little love, a little joy, a little brightness wherever you go today....Hug a lot!!!!  Share you with those you care about.   AND...."God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...courage to change the things I can an the wisdom to know the difference."  GO!!!!  Have yourself a good day, all day!!

Wednesday afternoon!!!

My little block calendar says it's Wednesday Afternoon, no date, no month, no idea about important stuff, just that it is afternoon....well, I knew that....been busy catching up with paper...you know cards, letters, writings, Christmas add on that no one reminds you of until it is almost too late....smile.   So I have sent the last several hours doing 'paper' work...smile.   caught up???? um...almost..ha.ha.!!!

It is a lovely Fall day;   not really cold but colder than it has been so we know that a change is about to take place.  The trees are still, no breeze is good;  it is cold out there but bearable, not that chill that goes through your heaviest coat.  As I said, I have been busy with paper work so am now ready to blog ...but..there is nothing to blog about...ha.ha.    I went shopping at the dollar store and found a few things I could used.   They do have cookies and such and they are not expensive fancy ones but are eatable and I like to have a snack with my hot coffee.  It is quiet around here, even the outside area is quiet, nothing moving in or out...not time....it will come and all at once there will be a lot of movement as the working folks head for home.   My shoes are off.  I am going to hunker down in my chair for awhile, watch some television and do a lot of nothing...I am beginning to like that more and more...um....wonder what that says about me...ha.ha.  don't tell...I will keep it all a secret.  But, a word to the wise is in order as I find the mind changing and not to my liking....I think 'retention' is the first to lighten up;  as to what actually gets lost in the shuffle is going to be an interesting find.   

So a lot of things did get accomplished.  Lunch out with Pat was fun.  I think she had had enough of me and was ready to drop me off so she could attend to some chores of her own.  She is so very good to me.   I am one lucky lady.
I forgot to buy a birthday card for Christine....um...maybe I can get out again tomorrow and find a good one...something that tells her how wonderful she really is. So, if you have a few minutes take time out to sing Christine a Happy Birthday...December 10th....a good day coming up  so get in tune...smile.

I'm off to have a refill of my hot black coffee.   I think I'll try one of the cookies I bought but didn't open yet...maybe I should leave it that way...smile.   You know what happens, one leads to two and on an on...ha.ha. 

Thanks for the visit.   I am off for my easy chair,   coffee and cookies to imbibe in, and feet up...poor me...ha.ha.ha.ha.....

love you and leave you for now.    Have a good rest of your day. 

Good Tuesday Morning!

Sunshine.....frost on the roof top across the way, two birds on the roof top, one large and one small sitting quietly watching the cars coming in and parking for the day.   It is quiet.   The trees are not moving at all.  A winter morning.

I had a telephone morning;  a visit with a friend and it is always wonderful.  We go back a long way, worked together, chummed about for a lot of years and have enjoyed a friendship of long standing;  how lucky I am.

I heard from my daughter who is going down to the boat to pick out some fresh fish for us.  It is always delicious and tasty and really ...really good...smile.  Healthy too.   So I am looking forward to a tasty dinner....I am in high hopes I'll be invited for dinner but it could be I will have my share dropped off to cook myself...smile...well you know what living in high hope does....

Looking at the frost on the roof top across the way makes me feel cold.  I noticed the trees are about as rusty looking as they can be;  not a bad shade, but green is warmer..smile.  Fall has turned into Winter so we will be busy keeping warm and finding indoor sports...smile.

The clock is moving slowly this morning or else I am just hungry; that must be it as I was up and awake a little after five a.m. and I usually have something to eat and now it seems like it was a very long time ago since I ate..I'm hungry....and it is not time to go up for lunch yet....I wonder if a peppermint will help....

So....go...have yourself a good day, all day.   I hope you find all the good things you want for your list  I hope you find a bargain or two.   I hope you enjoy today.  I hope for a lot of things...and hoping that you have a g r e a t day  is one of them.

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

Monday Morning La, la, la!!!!

Good morning.  It is Monday, the start of a new week and I am betting a busy one.  There is much to do when the holidays come and there is a chore or two to do before the day is over.    I need to get serious and make a list so I do not forget anything;  the experts are right, 'the mind is the first to go'....mine seems to wander more lately so this getting older stuff is not nonsense, a prize pain in the butt would be more like it.

I need to take the march of time seriously as the way I am spending it now you would think I had time to waste and we know we never have time to waste.   I'll make a list today, that will be the incentive to get things done.  Now if the magic fairy would tell me who needs or wants what, I could get my shopping done but I have a feeling I am not about to move fast today and will be lucky I cross one or two off my list.   Shopping is fun when you know what you want to buy, but when you have to think and make decisions and are not sure, well that is a 'horse of another color....wonder where that expression came from.

So, go, have yourself a good day, all day.    Making a list doesn't mean you have lost your 'marbles' ;  it just means you have something to cross out and know you have not forgotten anyone.....so go shop til you drop and don't forget wrapping paper and ribbon.   It is so nice to have something to do.....ha.ha....love you, more every day....go...have some fun today.  Hugs to all.

Sunday All Day!!!

Good morning.  It is pitch black out my window as the sky and earth meet; no wind, nothing moving, quiet....silence....a reflection in the window glass shows a little old lady with glasses on the end of her nose, frowning, not awake yet..smile!!

What is wonderful is the color in the sky, the dark shade of the clouds is floating over the tree tops as the tree tops are reflected in the sky.  It is amazing what you can see when you really look...smile.

I have no new news.   I have been on the quiet side.   and....that is good!! 

I am going to refill my coffee cup.  I am going to head for my easy chair....the television is on and someone is babbling away and I am not even listening.   I need to find a station with something 'good' on.

I wish you a wonderful, beautiful, restful Sunday doing all that you wish to do.  Laid back, lazy, is not all bad for the mind and the body.  It needs a little rest between the daylight hour that we rush through.   Sunday really is suppose to be a day of rest.....and we should enjoy it and be thankful there is a day to call our soul our own.   

Hot coffee, hassock at the ready, wishing you and yours a day to remember.  Go...be loving...be useful....be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.

It is Saturday Morning!!!

Good morning.  Saturday all over again, didn't we just have one?  I think so but with time flying one can hardly keep up with the daily changes, so "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"....the worker cars are coming in slowly, one light on in the hospital wing, the shade is up and I see a tiny Christmas tree all lit up and the television is on.  A new Saturday to enjoy and I am not making any plan as I was out and about all day yesterday with my girls enjoying a gaming trip, nope, didn't win a nickel, but the fun is in the trying.

Right now silence prevails;  there are a couple of cars parked, one window lit with pretty pink lights, not the window itself but a little tree inside.  My coffee cup is empty so I need a refill, open both eyes, put on the television and put my feet up for awhile as a new Saturday has arrived.  So, fill your cup with what you love most, add a tasty bit and find a seat for awhile.   Time to let the black of night disappear and a new bright and beautiful day to enjoy....so...enjoy it...smile!!!

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