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.

Tuesday...all day...smile!!

Good morning.   It is quiet...nothing moving;   no noise of any kind;  but . . . that wont last long...smile!!

How are you this morning?  I am almost awake.  I have had my first cup of coffee but have an empty cup at the moment and that will never do.....The first cup brings the taste buds to life but it also creates the need for more....more...hot and tasty and the body starts to respond...awake...almost...a refill should do it...smile.

AAH!!!!   Hot, tasty, good til the last drop...wonder where the doughnuts went???  Cannot imagine they are ALL gone!!!  Back to the bakery;  cannot have all those wrinkles show....

The sun is shining on the tree tops, very beautiful and still.    A lovely day begins and I have no special plans.   I wonder what  my girls are up to today.   I guess I have to wait and see;  who knows???  I might get an invite....or not....time will tell.

I hope your day is special;  just like you.....I hope you find things to do that make you smile.    Be good....be kind....be the silver lining today.....Enjoy the moments!! Hugs to all.

Good Morning!!

Good Morning!!!

A new day, right now pitch black outside and nothing is moving, not a car in sight, no lights on in the hospital building, no noise, no movement of any kind...it is just too early!!!!   A new day about to begin and we have no idea what is in store for us.    Hopefully we wish for good weather, a bit of sunshine to walk out in, a walk to the corner and back or, better still, a ride out ...maybe lunch out;  time will tell....have no definite plans as yet but hopefully there are plans in the making and I will be included in some time out and away....junking is good....not looking for anything special but when I do get out there I am sure I will know what to carry back....maybe a jelly doughnut....ha, ha......

It is quiet...it always amazes me to "hear' quiet.....the sky is a lavender blue, the tree tops are still, and my coffee cup is empty.....that will never do.....I'll be back.
"AAH"   coffee....black.....hot......I'd share but first I'd have to make a new pot. 

Hard to believe we have reached the half way mark of April....time flies even when you do not pay attention.   I am off for a refill of hot coffee;  that almost hot coffee does nothing for you.....

The trees are still;  not even a tiny bit of movement ....nothing moving and only three cars in  the parking area at the moment.   A new day....hopefully a good day, all day....so wake up and enjoy it....give a little of YOU.....there is something about a hug that makes one not enough...so share a few this morning and brighten the day. 

Wake up, you sleeping head, get up, get out of bed...la, la, la, la......

Hugs to all.

Good Morning!!!

Good Morning!!!!  A new day, blinds still down in the hospital wing;  very few cars out there this morning; still......quiet......it's Sunday;   come to think of it there is little or no noises around here;   even the trees are still;   very light blue sky, no breeze at all as nothing is moving, not even the little 'rose' tree which stands about five feet tall and is in full bloom with deep red roses;  very pretty from here and is sprouting into the little bush beside it making it look like the roses are growing from the lower bushes.

A quiet Sunday morning and I have no desire to get moving.   It is nice to be able to lolly-gag about and no one complaining;  well...not that I am hearing...smile.  I have no plans for today.  I'd like to be going out and about but the girls are busy shopping Costco today and I have turned in my list....ah....goodies later.....the non fattening kind.....so I lie a little!!!!   I'll share!

I am off for a refill,   get dressed,  make my bed,   curl up in my chair and read a bit before it is time to go up for lunch;  a long way off...it is only a little after seven a.m., only three cars in the parking lot  which seems strange..but...it is Sunday morning and it is still very early;  it will change soon enough.

I am off for a refill,  my cup is empty.  ... and ... there is nothing 'good' in this house.......have I said that before?   Yeah!!! many times, someone eats everything up ;  oh well, dry toast is okay, not really good, but beggars cannot be choosers...you would think there would be at least a crumb left...but...there isn't!!

So...go....have yourself a good day, all day.....be good....be kind....be unselfish....be YOU....don't forget HUGS.....at least ten a day...or more....and verbal hugs are necessary.    Hugs to all.

Friday. . . All Day!!!

A memory path in Brookings.....aah!!!!  We all have special paths we like to think about;  paths that our footsteps tread on and left an imprint and a memory or two.   This path runs along a river that likes to be heard as it leads to the ocean, rocky formations and memories of special visitors and fun days that ended all to soon.   The view I have, at the moment, is the lightest blue of the sky;  trees tall and stately not moving even a little bit.  The shades are drawn over in the hospital wing;  the cars are parked with a few empty spaces to be filled yet.  No shades up, folks sleeping in with an exception of one room where the shades is still down but there is light behind it.  If I had choices....smile....you know where I want to be..but...we are not always given choices we want but those that fill the immediate need.   I stayed in yesterday so have little or nothing to write about.  I did not have company.  I did not do anything constructive but I enjoyed the day of quiet doing the 'things' I like to do best....reading is tops on my list, writing isn't all bad, having a visitor or two drop in is always good so I have nothing to complain about...only that a complaint or two is always the way to free the brain for a positive thought.  Today is Friday ...all day....wonder what is in store for us.   So with that thought in mind, I will love you and leave you to your own doings of the day;  be good...be kind....be a friend...be YOU and make today one to remember.  As the saying goes...later gater......have a fun day...all day!!  Be good, be kind, be gentle, be YOU!!!

A New Hump Day!!

Good morning!!!!  The view from my window is much like this , a bit more blue to the sky, some grey clouds interspersed in the tree tops, the outside light is still on over in the hospital building, keeps the cars on the right path.  I noticed the cars are parked right under my window .  I had not noticed that there was a difference in parking as yesterday all the cars were parked across the way and this morning I am looking at them parked facing this building.  I had not noticed that before.   learn something new every day.  The street looks wet so we must have had a few raindrops.    Don't go way, I'm off for a refill.....

AAH!!!!Coffee...coffee.....it is Wednesday, hump day, and I have no plans....think today will be a 'down' day which means a catch up day as there is laundry to be done, some dusting might help, and, depending on the weather as to a walk outside;  the street is wet but the sky looks clear.

SO!!!!  I wish you a good day all day doing what you love to do best.    Be good, be kind, be gentle and add a good deed or two.    Smile with your eyes.....share a hug or two.....and make your day the best one yet.....Hugs to all.

Good Morning!!

A small miracle;  one tiny spider creates a work of art.   delicate, and beautiful.
Good morning.  It is pitch black out my window, no cars moving in as yet, no lights on in the hospital wing.  The sky is a morning shade of blue, the night is leaving slowly, there is no breeze of any kind so the trees are still.  A new morning, Tuesday all day and it the 10th of April in case you do not have a calendar handy.   My coffee cup is empty so that will never do.   I need words for you this morning and there are none as I didn't go anywhere, do anything, and just had a quiet, peaceful day yesterday and a good nights sleep so am up and ready for a new day.  I have no plans....sounds good to me.....a lazy day catching up, we all need those.  I am smiling as if I open the other eye and put the brain in gear, I will remember chores that need finishing, laundry that has to be done, a bit of grocery shopping and I thought I was going to do a lot of nothing;  nope, not in the cards, there is work to be done so I had better switch gears and put my shoes on and get ready for a trip to the store....there is nothing 'good' in this house...a battle cry for a trip to the bakery...smile!!!

So....I wish you a good day, all day.  I hope you have good health, a bit of wealth, and some drop ins to share some hugs with.    Be good, be kind, be gentle and share YOU with those you love and like.

Tuesday has a nice ring to it.....make it the best one yet.    Hugs to all.

A Brand New Week Starting up!!

Pretend this is my brain being pulled out to be used today...a new road to follow....wake up and smell the flowers.....put the mind in gear and see what I remember from yesterday...which was a good day, all day...honest.

I watched some television with the girls after a breakfast out at a restaurant on the waterfront and enjoyed sharing it with my ladies.   As I age, and I seem to be doing that a lot faster than I thought, I find my retention span is changing, reverting backwards, not in a hurry to remember details and a desire to leave the words where they are...wherever that is...smile.

Closing in on the century mark, who ever thought time would find a fast route as it takes a daily walk out.  I use my little Prayer of Serenity every day to remind me that I need courage to meet each new day and wisdom to know the difference between the things I can change and the things I cannot.  So today is the beginning of a new week and I am betting it has a lot in store for me.   My larder is bare so that means a ride to the grocery store.   Think of all the goodies I can find..but I better make a list as energy does not come from eating just sweets although I am sure we tried to make it so. 

So, go.....be good, be kind, be YOU....make your day bright and beautiful.   Hugs to all.
