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.

A New Day!!!! Good Morning!!


                                          A new day....a new chance to make your seconds count and your list of good deeds to finish as you make your family and friends happy you are share in their lives.    A beautiful day, sunshine, clear, not even a small breeze ;  just a clear blue sky, early morning quiet and a head filled with plans for the day.. . or not...smile.   well....make some!!

I have been sitting here at the computer for an hour or so, looking out the big picture window as the hospital workers park their cars and walk to the entrance for a new day of work.   There is a flowering red bush, have no idea what it is called, in full bloom and the color is absolutely beautiful.  The work force come in with their coffee in hand and are ready for a new day.

I have been 'day' dreaming long enough;  time for a refill and watch some news; hard to believe I have been sitting here for a good hour...wishful thinking.....want to run away and walk the old path to the ocean but that is far away and I don't have an invitation to ride out so I best make other plans...smile!!

So.....if wishes were horses beggars would ride.....an old saying but a truism....I'm off...but....you already knew that!!!   Go....have yourself a day to remember;   do something good for YOU and do a little something for those you like and love.    Be a friend today!!d  Hugs to all.

A Mistake or Two!!!

Good morning again....it is Tuesday morning  STILL, and..... it is now 10:08 a.m. and I am sitting at the computer trying to figure out why I made so many bloopers when writing lately...maybe old age....have to blame something!!!  I have been sitting here at the computer checking over some of the words I have put down and I see that I am having a few memory lapses here and there...little ones, thank God, but nevertheless the brain is trying to make headway into a different direction than I plan.    I guess with age come open spaces and I am not going to like it....bet you wont if you decide to join me...smile....

It is still Tuesday.... but .... mid morning.   I have been on the computer with 'the girls' and all is well.   I am getting ready to go up for lunch and that will be good as I will have table mates sharing the news of their day.    Yesterday we went to the casino and played awhile, left out just 'dues' and came home broke...is there any other way???  ha...ha....ha..... well I am still trying to find out.  I just wanted to let YOU know that I have not lost it all ..yet...but working on it.   

and it is okay if you drop a line or two as I am feeling like company today...smile.    be good, be kind, and drop a line.    Hugs to all. 


Tuesday...all day!!

Good Morning.....Been sitting here for an hour trying to figure out what to write about this morning and the brain seems to have a mind of its own and has decided to keep an empty conversation or no words as there is nothing new and different or even interesting coming to mind this morning.   I have been awake for hours and have not put the coffee on ....I am in a funk...smile....well, I'm entitled..or not...smile......

It is Monday, a new Monday, and I have no plans for today.   A down day...we all need those...and I was off gallivanting yesterday wishing for a big win at the casino so I could take you all out for breakfast this morning....no luck .... so....you will have to be satisfied with some coffee, or tea and dry toast...smile.....well the thoughts were there;  the luck was elsewhere.   It was fun..company was good;  the lunch was great, so I have nothing to complain about...wait a minute or two and I'll think of something!!! 

Go, have yourself a good day, all day....catch up on your to-do list and give yourself a good start for the week.    Weather is perfect for those garden chores, put on your 'mud' shoes and get out there.    Me...I'm  going out and make my coffee...see you tomorrow with some words of wisdom....or not......ha,ha, well....I'll try.   Be good, be kind, be gentle and generous, and have yourself a special day full of the 'stuff' that makes YOU happy.  Go....Enjoy today!

Good Morning!!

This picture reminded me of the mind.  It is filled with all kinds of words and pictures stored and saved from each year we have lived and the sand pebbles, liken to our brain, stores the memories of yesteryear.   Each little thought vies for space and wants to be heard;  each little thought tells a tale.  The symbols of granite remind us of the bad times, while the crystals shine and lead us to the beautiful times of our lives.  As the old timers would say, 'a bit of good with the bad' and we survive one day as it comes.   We learn to have faith, hope and then share a bit of charity so..not all is right in our world, but also, there is a bit more good than we give it credit for. 

Our morning, this morning, is clear and calm.  The sky is a soft blue, no wind at all, nothing is moving and the shades are still drawn in the hospital wing.  The deep red bush , the tree begetting tiny yellow leaves and the big bushes are still, not a breeze out there on the low ground or in the height of the tall trees.  A new morning as the worker's cars are parked facing my window today.  I have one red car and one silver car by my window, the rest all black but stylish.  One window shade up but the rest all down and the patients are snoozing this Sunday morning.  We are heading for the last of April;  one week to go and we will be seeing May flowers and balmy sunshine days.   Yes, life goes on, one day at a time, so make good use of each one as it arrives.

I am off for a refill.  My coffee cup is empty....that will never do.  I am off ....and you sometimes think of that...ha.ha.   but....I will love you and leave you to your day and know I hope that is the best one yet.    Be good, be kind, be sincere...now that is a good word.   Be all you can be and share YOU with those you love and like.   GO.....be cool, calm and collected.....or not....the choice is yours.....but be sure and have a little fun while you are thinking of what kind of a day you really want to have.  I think the old timers would tell you ..'you get out of it what you put into it, no more, no less'....think about that!!  Just make is 'special' just like YOU.  Hugs to all.

It is Friday, all day!!!

Good morning.    Sky is beautiful this morning with tiny floating dark blue clouds hovering over tall trees that are not even moving a tiny bit...picture clouds this morning, much like a school of fish... no breeze at all, cars all parked and the blinds are still closed over in the hospital wing.   A new day, slow to start, no....just usual and the quiet time of the day.  It wont stay that way...soon there will be activity and noise and folks moving about...but...right now...silence!!!  AAH!!!!!

I wish you a good day, all day....I wish you love and laughter....good health and a bit of wealth which you can share and brighten the day....lunch out?   Good idea, take someone to lunch the big Mac is always tasty..smile!!

I am off for a refill;   to blog about???  have no idea.....but I am sure to come up with something.....one of the men is walking his little dog, looks a bit chilly out there but it is early.

Off I go...a new day...um....wonder what is in store for me??????   Something good I'm sure..smile.    What is that old adage???  Live in high hope and die in despair.....well, I don't have any high hopes so I guess I am safe for another day.  Go.....have a good day..all day!!  Hugs to all.

Good Morning!!!

A new day.   A Thursday all day and it is April 19th. . . the month is going bye faster than I thought and Spring is not around the corner but here....time flies even if you are not having fun...smile.    Today, a new day, wonder what is in store for us. . . wonder what opportunities we will take advantage of and which ones we will let go of;  and what we will do to make our day the best one yet.  All those seconds to play with...um.....now that is a thought!!!!   I have no plans...as yet....I'm willing to make some but have to find an accomplice unless I choose to walk up to the corner and back by myself.   The workers are driving in slowly, no lights on in the hospital wing and silence can be heard.  A new day with hours to fill, now all we have to do is decided how. 

My coffee cup is empty....off for a refill.

"AAH"...coffee, the elixir of early morning life....one eye open....then the other...and off we go to fill a blog with a few kind and considerate words...if they are to be found....'yawn'.....first to wake up.....

be patent, the coffee is working, I just looked at some old lady in a window...oh it's me!!!! 

Let me take time to wish you a good day, all day.....let me wish you health as that is the wealth you need and want in your life today.   Plan a good day, all day, doing what you love to do.   Be kind today as what you give you get...as one of the old expressions state.    Take time to stop at the church of your choice and light a candle for those who have been called home.    Take time to light a second one for those who are ill ;  stop and think how a short visit from you can make their day, and yours.     Time is a special gift, remember that.

So......I am going to love you and leave you.   I will find my easy chair, turn on the news and put my feet up for a little while.    I have no special plans for today but I am sure I will think of something to get into before the day is over....cleaning out the file drawer might be a good start.   But....putting my shoes on and going for a walk a bit later when the light of the beautiful blue sky brightens and shows the way to the corner and back.  But one never knows what is in store for the day and I am sure we will find out as the sky becomes a lovely lighter blue and a breeze moves the tree leaves.   The door opens easily and the brain lightens as it leads us out into fresh air, sunshine and warmth;   a walk...sounds good to me....want to come?    Well, put your shoes on!!

Five O'Clock AM ....

Good Morning.  I am awake...well....almost..one eye open, coffee at the ready, hot and tasty;  raisin toast all gone and my fingers are on the keys..what to blog about???  I have no idea.  Looking out my window, my desk is right in front of the window, the night light is on at the side of the hospital building which is directly across from me.   One light on in one of the rooms and the shade is open, no one moving though.  The tarmac is dry so no rain drops in the night.   All seems quiet and lonely out there.  Inside I have my filled cup of hot coffee, finished my toast and looking for more....'there is nothing good in this house'....smile...you have heard that before.  Of course I am thinking of a big fat jelly doughnut, or a plate of ham and eggs with buttered toast but that is not going to happen.   A refill of my coffee will satisfy my needs but does nothing for my wants.   

Today is Wednesday, all day, hump day it is called.  It is five thirteen a.m. and the 18th day of the month already.   Time has a way of fleeing.   Wonder where it goes?   I should wonder about how fast it does go.   I have a plate glass window in front of me and my image shows in the window . . .  and, that old lady with the grey hair and eye glasses half way down the nose looks familiar....wonder where she came from?   ha, ha....looks old enough to be my grandmother......and is...smile.

So...I need a refill.   I am  going to fill my cup and sip the hot coffee as I watch the news on television hunkered down in my chair.   I have no special plans for today so do not have to rush about and that is a good thing.    I have several projects started and things I can do.  I will wait to see what kind of a day is on the menu and maybe plan a walk out a bit later;  after lunch time is always good as it helps to keep the weight from exploding, a little late to think of that but never to late to keep the body moving.    So.....if I knew how to spell the Mexican words I would wish you a good day ..all day....well.....I wish you one anyway....have a good one and enjoy your seconds ...hopefully doing something wonderful.    Be good, be kind, be gentle and lead with a smile, a hug helps, and 'good will' never hurts.   BE YOU!!!!  Hugs to all.
