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.

SERENITY!!!

It is almost time to close down, say good night and wish you sweet dreams when you do get to your comfortable bed. It has been a calm day, a no visitors day, a no doing anything day but go out in the sunshine, walk a half block or so and do a lot of nothing special....or better, what you wanted to do and for most of us it was a lot of nothing strenuous...smile. I have a little black cube with writing that says: "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." It was a quiet day. It was a day to enjoy the warmth of the sunshine. It was a day that remained quiet in the warmth of the sunshine. I did see my girls and that always makes me feel alive and well. They were busy today doing chores and catching up with all they wanted to get done. Yard work has begun to demand attention but it is that time of year an I think the girls do love to garden so they are no complaining.....well not that I can hear..... I am closing down, have some reading I want to do. I wish you a good night, sleep tight and dream good dreams. Catch up and let me know what you are up to. Love and Hugs. Jean

Evening Thursday

The sun is in the tree tops, all is silent, bird on the roof top and the worker cars are gone with the exception of two cars parked in front of my window. Trees are still, sun is setting on the tall trees and the leaves of a few trees are bright and beautiful.. Silence. Only a few cars parked and the shades are already down in the hospital wing. It has been hot this afternoon, a first this season and a lesson of what is to come. It is going to be a long hot time ahead if today is the first of what is to come. We have to remember it takes time to get used to the season change. I think I have done all the damage I can do today as I have had ice cream, and...it was delicious. smile. It has been a quiet day, no visitors, didn't go for a walk out and stayed on the quiet side. I did look and found a novel I want to read. I will start it later tonight or tomorrow when I make time to sit on the porch in the rocking chair and put my feet up. Making some reading time is always such a pleasure. It is getting time to get ready to quit for the day. I think I will turn in early and get a head start on my book. It looks like good one. Catch up and let me know what you have been up to. The trees are still, sky is soft, bird on the roof top and only two cars parked outside my window. I wish you a good night, a sweet dream and a good rest of your today. Sleep sweet when you get there. Catch up. I want to know how you are and what you are up to. Be good, be kind, be sweet and catch up. Hugs to all.

Monday Morning, La, la, la.....

A new week begins, wonder what is in store for us. This morning is bright and beautiful, no wind as the tree tops are still, sunshine on the leaves and all very beautiful. The birds are flying in and out enjoying the sunshine. I am almost awake, should be all the way as I have been up for hours. There is a new car parked in front of my window this morning that is a shade of blue I have not seen before. It has a lot of depth to it and is almost taken for a deep purple but the blue really is more prevalent. It is a beauty. Along with it is a black car and a couple of white ones. I am awake, well I think so..ha.ha.....the mind is just slower this morning after all it is only Monday and early at that. There is no new news. All seems quiet and serene. I am moving slowly, not in a hurry to motivate. The sky is a soft blue, the sun is up and the bird is on the roof top watching the cars roll in. A brand new blue car just parked in front of my window...a beauty...and shiny new...a wow...bet it cost a pretty penny to do. Have yourself a day to remember...good memories for another time..smile. I am humming: "One for the money, two for the show, go man ..go... Ha Ha...that should get you started. I am off...okay, you agree, and that is okay as we do need all kinds to make our world. ha..ha. love you. Go...have yourself a good day all day. Hugs..Jean

Now It's Sunday Morning

Good morning, a man and his guitar is walking by my window heading for the in door to serenade the Sunday morning church folks. The worker cars are facing my window and there is a bright red car, a tan and a white along with a couple of dark color which I cannot see good from here, I'd guess dark green or blue. Some empty spots yet. It is early. Trees are still. Sky is very light and the little bird is sitting on the roof edge watching the folks come in and park for the day. It looks like it wants to rain, the macadam is dry so no drops as yet. Silence. That early morning quiet...a couple of window shades up in the hospital wing but most are closed tight.It is after ten a.m. so you would expect more to open up. I am awake, well almost, smile. I am going for some hot coffee and that will wake me up an get me going for the day. It is Sunday, all day, no plans as yet, and not moving very fast this morning. Some hot coffee should fix that....smile. I hope your day is going to be a 'banner' day and you get to do all you want to do. Let the have to do things go until tomorrow when the new week starts and you are in the mood to turn on your 'work' button. Make your today worthwhile. Do what you want to do. Chris just brought me a breakfast....roll with all the goodies, hot coffee. aah. off I go.

Saturday, June 20, 2020

Now It'S Saturday Morning

Good morning. It is eight fifteen a.m. and I am awake....well, almost....smile. The eyes are open, I see out the window and it is wet and silent out there. Only two silver cars on the lot right now. The blinds are down in the hospital wing and there is a little creature going in and out of the bushes across the way. A squirrel I think although its tail is not very bushy. A baby, has some growing to do. The macadam is wet, a few small puddles in the middle of the road. I am awake, well almost, smile. I am going to wish you a good day all day doing what you want to do. I am going for a hair cut so cross your fingers and wish me luck. Take care of you and have yourself a good day all day doing what you want to do.

Friday Evening 6:56 p.m.

My little calendar says it is Friday evening...the day went by quickly, time with the girls, lunch out and a lazy afternoon doing a lot of nothing special. Most of the worker cars have left for the day. A white sedan is out in font of my window and a lot of free spSSace from there out to the sidewalk. Silence. The little bird is over on the roof top across the way. The trees are sill and most of the blinds are down in the hospital wing. The day has gone bye quickly and I cannot complain. The old adage says it does no good and that is a truism. Say a thanksgiving prayer for the day that you had. Add another for sweet dreams when you get there. Sleep sweet, dream happy dreams and get ready for a new tomorrow. A new Saturday, wonder what is in store for us. WE are about to find out...smile. Be good, be calm, be wonderful....be YOU. Hugs to all.

Thursday Morning

Clear sky; still;; trees in the sunshine; worker cars parked under my window silence, bird on the roof top, sunshine and Thursday all day...smile. Hello. How are you this morning? I am looking at a beautiful sunshine morning, cars parked outside my window this morning. Only one bright blue one the others are all black or navy. Not a junker in the bunch..all look new and well cared for. It is quiet around here today. It is almost lunch time. The little bird is on the roof top across the way, been there for hours. It is a lovely day, not much of a breeze, sunshine and stillness. The cars are facing my window but you cannot see much within. There are more dark cars than anything, one light blue that you can call a bright blue and very good looking. The Birds are at the feeders, one empty already. They get filled up then go and sit on the roof top in the morning sunlight and watch the workers come in and park. All the folks are up over in the hospital wing. All the shades are up with the exception of one at the end of the building. That is not usually up so it must be where someone who is down is watched over. The worker cars are facing my window and all of the cars are black or dark blue with the exception of one that is a pretty blue. As I have said before there is not one ding to be had. No breeze this morning. All is still and quiet. The shades are up in all of the windows but the one on the end at the front side of the building. I thought it was closer to lunch time but it is only 10:00 a.m. some mornings just fly bye and others drag...today is a slow one. It is sunshine and beautiful out there. A good day for a walk out later. I hope you have a good day all day doing what you want to do. Relax, enjoy and get some sunshine as it is good for you.

Tuesday Morning

Good Morning. The trees are still, not a bit of a breeze this morning. The worker cars are parked under my window and there are two dark blue, two white and one light grey that fit the window width. The macadam is dry, trees are still, little birds hoping around and I have one eye open. Seven a.m. sky is what I call murkey, a bit of light grey and pale, pale blue. All is silent. The little bird is on the roof top. The birds are making the feeder swing, two feeders and both swinging. Silence out there. There are two white cars, one light grey, two dark blue all in front of my window. I am almost awake, working on it, smile. I have to go and get some coffee so I can open the eyes and wake up. I will work on waking up, I will be back but later when I have both eyes open. Enjoy your choice of morning drink, feet up, tv on, and wake up. I will be back later...have a little waking up to do. BUT, I am singing...Good morning to you. Good morning to you. la, la,....Good morning to you.

Sunday Morning

Good Morning. it is Sunday morning and two little squirrels are climbing into the bushes across the way One scurried bye and silence reigns.The trees are still, the sky is almost white with a tinge of soft blue. The blinds are down in the hospital windows and the worker cars parked over on my side of the tarmac. Three of the workers are in, several empty spots yet to be filled. Silence reigns. Sunday morning quiet. My coffee cup is empty so I am for a refill, feet up, wake up and start a new day. I hope your day is going to be filled with love and laughter. As the old adage goes..."make hay while the sun shines" ... enjoy your day. I am off for a refill, feet up, wake up and enjoy today...Sunday...aah.....have a good one.

Wednesday Morning

Good Morning. The sky is so bright in spots it hurts the eyes; dark cloud hovering nearby; guess the weather has not made up its mind. It is Wednesday morning a little after nine thirty a.m., silence reigns, one of our men is out walking his little dog, a daily chore he seems to enjoy. The worker cars are parked under my window and there are a few new ones this morning. One is a new blue, deep in color and good looking. There is a white one, a purple one and a couple of dark ones, black I think. The little bird is on the limb of the tree just about the height of the window sill. It wants to be seen as it is right at the window ledge. All is quiet. All is quiet around here. The young lady who cleans the rooms is around, came in, shoved my little rug outside and left; haven't seen her since; wonder if she decided to start at the other end of the hall. Having my door open isn't going to hurt but it is a puzzle as to why the start and then leave...probably has a better offer..ha.ha. The little birds are outside my window. The trees are still. The roof top has one bird visiting and all is quiet around here. I am dressed, shoes on, all I need is an invitation...smile. I am going to have a little more hot coffee; feet up; tv on and do nothing for awhile. I may get an invitation out...one never knows...smile. I hope your day is going to be a good one. I hope you find places to go and things to do that make you smile. I will be off as soon as one of my girls decide they want my company. I have not had my breakfast so will treat the first one that invites me out the door. Have a good day, all day, doing what you really truly want to do. Catch up and let me know just what mischief you got into.

Tuesday, June 9, 2020

Tuesday Morning 9;-09 a.m.

Good Morning. The sky is light grey, maybe we will have some rain today, looks like it wants to. The tarmac is still wet from earlier and the roof and hoods of the cars are still wet from an earlier outburst. The birds are under the trees over by the hospital wing and the little birds are out and about, one on the roof top and the other on the limb of the tree. Only one white car this morning; all the others are dark green, black and a couple of dark blue. It is, or looks like, it wants to rain ...it is raining wow that was fast...smile. A rainy Tuesday, um..haven't had one of those in awhile. I am going to the kitchen for some hot coffee. I bet I find something to go with it...smile. It is early, it is Tuesday all day, it is quiet, it is time to sit in my easy chair and watch some television. It is raining out my window so I am not going any where. To wet to walk out. So I will go and get my hot coffee, find a tid bit to go with it and sit awhile. I hope you have a good Tuesday all day doing what you want to do. It may turn into a good reading day. Right now I am getting hungry so it is breakfast time and I am going to make good use of it. I wonder if I have anything good in my kitchen...um....well I will go look. Have yourself a good day all day doing what you want to do. Have a little fun in the mix and be kind. Off I go...I will be back. Later gater...smile..

Now It is Monday evening

My little calendar says so. smile. It is after six p.m, it is Monday evening and all is quiet and a small breeze in the trees. The little bird is on the roof top across the way, the worker cars are parked under my window and there are only four or five out there. I cannot see all the way down the road way from my window. It is quiet. Silent I might say. It is Monday evening, three shades up and three shades down in the hospital wing. The little bird is on the roof top along with its little friend. They have been there all day. The work force is light tonight as there are only four cars parked outside my window tonight. All cars are a shade of grey, one black. It has been a quiet day, nothing planned but I did have some drop in company and that was fun. I had some cake to share and that was tasty. I had some extra newspapers with those big word puzzles so I will have plenty to keep me busy this week. It was a quiet day really and I did enjoy those who dropped in. They didn't stay long but long enough to share some time and that is what counts. If all goes as planned I will go off with Pat in the morning and have some out time. smile. I need a hair cut. She just had hers done and it came out beautiful, fits her so well. Now to see what the operator can do for me....let me say I wont have my picture taken for a week or so...smile. I hope your day is going to be a smooth one. I hope you get to do all you want to do and catch up with those jobs that you put off until tomorrow...smile...well, we all do it. I am going to say good night , sleep tight, and dream sweet dreams. Monday has come and gone. Now to get on with the rest of this week..smile. Um....what can we do....we will have to think of something. I will see you tomorrow and we will come up with an idea or two. I know, I know, a hair cut. Someone was humming something about a doggie in the window; um...wonder if they were trying to tell me something...smile. Sleep sweet when you get there. Catch up tomorrow. Hugs to all.

Monday Morning

Good Morning. The sun is up and it is bright and beautiful. Only two white cars on the lot so far, but it is early. Monday morning, the start of a new week. Seven oh four a.m. and a new soft celery green car is moving in slowly. A beauty. New and I bet expensive. The shades are down in the hospital windows with the exception of one. All snoozing in this morning. Silence. No breeze, no movement, no noise of any kind. The bird on the roof top has a little friend with it this morning. They are watching the cars come in and park. Most of the blinds are down on the windows with the exception of one room and there is no movement coming from there at all. All is quiet. It is Monday and the sun is shining brightly, the trees are alive with color and the worker cars, only two of them so far, are parked in front of my window. The same style and color only different sizes. All is silent. The bird feeders are swinging and the little bird is on the roof top keeping watch on the cars parking. A beautiful sunshine morning. There is no new news this morning. I am going for a refill of my coffee cup, feet up and watch some news. Enjoy your day, all day, doing what you want to do. Make family and friends happy today and share a treat or two. I am off for a refill of my coffee and will wake up slowly and get on with my day. Be good, be kind, be generous to a fault and smile. Enjoy your day, all day, doing what you love to do as you make someone find reasons to laugh out loud and enjoy the day. Be good, be kind, be YOU. Hugs to all.

Sunday, June 7, 2020

Sunday Morning

Good morning. The sky is almost white this morning The trees are still. The worker cars are parked under my window and only six are in so far. The blinds are down in the hospital wing and the two bird feeders are full just waiting for the birds to come and have their breakfast. One bird is on the roof top and has a little one next to it. The two some are there every day. There is no new news this morning. All is quiet around here. I am going to wish you a good Sunday, all day, doing what you want to do. Make your day one to remember. Off for a coffee refill, feet up, tv on, and wake up. I have that routine down pretty good. smile. I hear 'silence' almost puts me back to sleep.

Have a good morning all morning doing what you want to do. Later gater...smile......Off I go.

Thursday, June 4, 2020

Thursday Morning

Good Morning. A lovely day out there sunshine hiding behind some puffy white clouds with blue 'islands' in them, one looks like a bird with a chicken head and it has wings and is flying, mouth open, catching a little cloud; how is that for a good imagination? ha...ha. Good morning. I am almost awake. I have been working on trying to wake up for hours, just a slow mover today. Quiet. Silence, one truck and two cars parked outside my window; a rather light load today. There is no breeze, nothing moving, silence...it is Thursday morning. Looking out my window and thee is a white sedan with black trim; a truck and a black four door sedan and outside my view, I have to stand to see, is another white car with a glass roof top. The rest of the area is empty right now but soon more will be arriving to put in a days work. All the blinds are up in the hospital wing with the exception of one window. It is almost ten a.m. and one person is a sleeper...wonder how anyone can sleep that late. Five a.m. rolls around and my eye balls right along with them. I have not been up long enough to get into trouble but don't go away it is still early, smile. I am smiling as I see the bird on the roof does have company; a little bird is keeping it company. The sky is quite beautiful this morning as it has white floating clouds in a very light sea of blue. It is still. The trees have no breeze to move its limbs this morning so all is still. One of our workers has a new white car with a black trim on the roof top and around the windows. The body of the car is clear and I think it is what is called a hatchback...not sure what that is but that came to mind. It has four doors. It has two big lights. It has black trim around the windows and on the roof top. It is good looking. I am heading out to the kitchen and see if there is any 'little' thing to tide me over until lunch. Cannot come to soon today as I am hungry. I did not eat breakfast earlier and it is to late to nibble now as lunch will be soon. Don't worry I wont suffer...what is that song??? "I've got my 'fat' to keep me warm....ha, ha... Off I go, I have shoes somewhere, um....now to find them....smile. Have yourself a good day all day doing what you want to do. Be good. Be kind. Be YOU!!! Hugs to all

Wednesday, June 3, 2020

Now It's Wednesday Evening

We have a very white sky this evening, bright, light and different. The trees are still. The worker cars are few, the blinds down, all but one in the hospital building. There is silence. Quiet. All of the folks seem to be hunkered down in their apartments, no noise of any kind, so quiet you can hear that proverbial pin drop...smile. The sky is different in that it has layers of grey with soft blue and a little white. The trees are still and I think I can count six cars parked outside my window area of the parking lot. The bird is on the roof top across the way. I thought the little bird was beside it but the closer I look the space beside it looks empty. The trees are still, and the sky itself is in tiers of grey and white on one side and a very light white and soft grey in the front area. There are a lot of empty spaces for cars, so not as any are working the night shift tonight. It is quiet, silent really, no one leaving their rooms tonight, no visitors, no one walking out and about. It is a good night to read, so I think that is what I will do, a hot shower, off to bed, book in hand and read awhile. Tomorrow is a new day, hopefully an out day to pick up a few goodies for the pantry; a few refrigerator goodies: and really look to see what is out there. I wish you a good night. I wish you sweet dreams. hugs to all.

Tuesday, June 2, 2020

Tuesday Morning around eight thirty a.m.

The sun is out and it is bright and beautiful as it rests on the parked cars outside my window. I have three black and two white that fit my window and each one is new and there is not even a tiny ding on one of them. The bird is on the roof top across the way. The trees are still, not a bit of a breeze this morning. I am all dressed, shoes on, ready for an invitation and a new day. There is a big cloud cover in out sky this morning. Two of the hospital window blinds are up and the others are all closed tight. Not everyone likes to get up early...smile. There are three dark blue cars under my window and two white ones. The workers are in and busy already. All the blinds, but one, are down in the hospital wing. All quiet. Not even the breeze is moving any of the tree tops this morning. Quiet, silence...early morning...aah.... I am off to fill my coffee cup with some tasty hot coffee; turn on the tv and find out what is going on in our outside world. I see the blinds are still down in the hospital wing and the tree are not moving at all so it is quiet out there. I think some hot coffee will hit the spot. I think the news is on and I am wondering what is happening out there in our world. Let us hope for a lttle good news every now and then. We are ready for it. smile. Have yourself a good day all day doing what you want to do, need to do, and enjoy the moments as they come. I am off for a refill of hot coffee; feet up; tv on; and wake up. Go...have yourself a good day doing what you want to do. Get the have to stuff out of the way, relax, and make someone friend happy when you walk in the door. It is okay to let me know how you are doing....I care...I am interested....and if it is an invitation out, don't hesitate, I have my shoes on. (smile) Hugs to all.

Monday, June 1, 2020

Now It is Monday Night

The sky is a soft shade of blue over the still trees, all is silent. There are two cars on the lot, both a light grey, a new shade and a very beautiful soft one. All of the shades, but one, is drawn over in the hospital wing. All is silent, a quiet you can 'hear' and the little bird is still on the top of the roof across the way watching the cars go in and out. Right now there are two cars outside my window and both are a soft grey. A lovely color for an automobile. All are shutting down over at the hospital building. The shades are down in all but one window. Someone is in because the television is on and the window shade is still open. Only two cars outside my window, both a light grey, different model.The trees are still, the tarmac dry and the sky is a very light soft blue and over by the tall trees the sky is alive as it tells of the sun setting way over there. It is restful, peaceful, quiet as nothing is moving at all. Evening has arrived. Night time to follow and another day is ending. Day is ending, all quiet, only two cars on the lot. The trees are still, The top of the tree line is very interesting to see. The tree tops are slender, thin, and they have a design all their own. There is no wind so nothing is moving and that gives me a chance to really see them. They are so unmovable it looks more like a picture than real live trees. The stillness and quiet gives one time to appreciate the beauty of all that surrounds us behind a slate grey rooftop of the hospital wing. I am going to say good night and pleasant dreams when you get there. I hope your day has been all you wanted it to be and you are now ready to 'call it a day' and settle in for the rest of the night. I wish you sweet dreams, I hope you had a good day all day doing what you wanted to do. I hope your tomorrow will be all you want it to be...and it will be if you put your mind to it. Be good, be kind, be generous and share love and understanding to those you meet and greet all day. Sleep sweet. I am off to watch a program or two before I call it a day. Enjoy your 'rest of today' and don't forget to add me and mine on to your prayer list. Good night. Sweet dreams. Do not hesitate to be all you can be....keep love and laughter in your life.

10:22 a.m. Monday

Hello I am sitting by the window looking at a huge cloud over the tall trees and it is interesting with pictures within, faces, shadows, still, even the trees are still. The worker cars are parked under my window, two white and three black so far. One of the ladies is ending her shift so is walking to her car, home and probably a short snooze before she can get on with her day. It is almost ten thirty a.m. so it will not be long before our lunch time. I have had coffee but nothing to go with it so I should be hungry when the food gets here. I wonder what we will be having today...something tasty I hope. The worker cars are shining in the sunlight; three white, three black, that I can see from my window. It is quiet. The little bird is still on the roof top and the huge cloud over the tree tops is really beautiful. There are grey shadows within the stark white, very beautiful. No wind so the trees are still and the sunlight falls on the outer edges making deep shadows within the trees. Nothing moving at all. Quiet...Silence....There is a patch of grey in one area but very small so I guess we are not due for a storm. It is fun to look out and see the breaks in the clouds as they make open patches along with puffy white sections; all very beautiful and the imagination soars...smile.There are six cars parked outside my window an there is not one 'old' car in the bunch. All new, all shining, all different models. White seems to be popular and a deep shade of blue another. I have yet to see a car of age...not allowed...smile. What is interesting is the reflection of the clouds on the parked car windows. There are designs to be seen, lights and shadows make interesting patterns on the windshields. There is one small car, good looking, white, big antenna on top of the roof. The bird feeders are getting a lot of attention within the last hour. The birds ae hungry as they make the feeders swing. All is very quiet and still out there.. The big bird an the little bird are still on the roof top and, at the moment, nothing is moving. I am off for a coffee refill. Lunch will be coming soon. I wonder what we will have today, something tasty I hope as I am hungry. I think i have mentioned that a time or two...smile. A horn just started and seems to be stuck. Annoying to say the least. So much for peace and quiet. I am going to love you and leave you. Have yourself a good day with a bit of fun and a lot of love within. Enjoy. Hugs to all.

A brand New Monday

Good Morning. The bird is on the roof top across the way. The blinds are down in the hospital wing. Little birds flying around and a couple are playing hop scotch on the parked car roof tops. The sky is pale blue, almost white. No breeze this morning and silence. My coffee cup is empty so I am going to love you and leave you. I have no new news. I have no old news to rehash, just have to work on waking up and starting a new week..it is Monday all day....where did that weekend go??? smile....I'm not telling...ha..ha. I am going to refill my coffee cup, feet up, tv on, no rush, no fuss, just taking time to wake up and start a new week. I wonder what is in store for us this week We are about to find out...smile. Have yourself a good breakfast. Be of good humor this morning and share a hug or two with those you love and like. Wake up, wake up, wake up....I can do that...later...ha.ha. A chair snooze isn't all bad. Be good...be kind...be YOU. Hugs to all
