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.

Thursday...all day!!!

Good Morning, a grey sky morning, a few dark clouds with long tails, streaks of light grey in between rows of an almost white background, still....nothing moving....shades and shadows your imagination can take you through...high over the tree tops and nothing moving.  A quiet time, a time of reflection, a time to relax and enjoy.The worker cars are in and the workers already in the hospital wing.  Shades are still drawn.   Silence...no breeze at all this morning....there really is a hush of morning and so easy to enjoy.

I have been sitting here at the computer for a good hour or more.  I have had hot coffee and the cup is empty.  It is time for a refill but I am not going to go and fill my cup until I am ready to put on the morning news and put my feet up for awhile. 

At this moment there is complete silence, not even a breeze to rustle a leaf or two.  So I will break the silence with some television news, feet on the hassock, cup filled with hot coffee and enjoy the word from the outside.   If it is all dark and dreary then I'll put my shoes on and go out the door for a walk around the block.   So...go....have a good day, all day....doing what YOU love to do best...be good, be kind, be gentle, be a friend.  Hugs to all.

Mid Week

Good Morning!!!   A new day.....a quiet no breeze at all morning, not a leaf moving, quiet.....still.....cars all parked in the lot for the day....lovely pink flowers falling to the ground waiting to be raked up by the yard folks.  They do a great job and keep the grounds lovely.   It is Wednesday, hump day we used to call it, only a bit after seven a.m. and we are heading into the last days of May.   Coffee is tasty but cold, so off for a refill, be right back.

 Wow, news on, lava flow in Hawaii....scary and very active, wouldn't want to be in its path.   Here it is calm, quiet, shades still drawn in the hospital wing.  Cars are facing my window, two white, I tan, and the rest are either a very dark blue or black.   All look well taken care of.   No birds this morning.

I hope your day is going to be a good one filled with friends and family and things to do....stay healthy, wealthy if you can, and do a good deed or two while you are up and about.   Tend your friendship garden and make today one to remember. 

Hugs to all.

Tuesday Morning


A rose is a rose is a rose....smile!!!

and there is something special about a red rose!!

A new day, a new morning, a quiet morning as the worker's cars are all parked, facing my window, and there is a different coupe out there this morning, soft top, white with a light grey or soft blue trim.   One worker walking in slowly, seems to be putting his foot up on a curb and back down as he walks along.   Probably wishful thinking and would like to be back in his bed.

The hush of early morning;  No wind of any kind.  The sky is very light and bright, a tinge of blue.  Take time this morning to fill your 'cuppa' and go outside and sit in awhile looking at the amazing designs in the tree tops. Nature at its best, how lucky we are.

A new day to celebrate, a catch up day after a long holiday weekend.   The end of May and we now get ready for the June brides...yes we have a special one as our Erin is going to be married to Donaleo and the excitement and plans begin to merge.  

I am off for a refill, my cup is empty.   I am off to watch a bit of news before getting showered and dressed for a new day.   I still have sweet thoughts of my quiet time in Pat's yard yesterday, and later of browsing through a store looking for treasures.   Some of the 'old' things we see, touch and decide to leave behind are treasures of another time and there is not enough room to add any more trinkets..smile.  I hope you enjoy today, make the best of your seconds and keep a smile on your face and a lot of love in your heart for those you love and like.  Surround yourself with beauty;  go out the garden and pick a few flowers to bring inside and fill your home with beauty and love.

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

A New Monday!!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this lovely yellow bush is a loathsome weed that takes over the countryside.   It is a little after six o'clock, shades still down in the hospital wing, traffic was heavy this morning as most of the workers cars are parked and they are already on duty.  It is a bright morning, sun is up, trees are still, not a bit of a breeze out there this morning.  I am up, as to being awake...well....it will happen in time but not until I have one more cup of coffee..smile....aah!!!! The pattern changed this week and the worker's cars are all parked on this side of the roadway.  I have one grey, two different shades of red and two white cars parked directly in front of my window.  The tiny bird has been and gone...a cute little sparrow like bird, tiny and grey.  At this time of the morning the bushes across from my window are bright, one a deep pink and two very light pink low bushes that are lovely to look at.   My coffee cup is empty ...I'll be right back.

AAH!!!!!  Hot coffee,  sip, sip,.....um.....good to the last drop!!!!

My view is of a very light blue sky, tall trees not moving even a little bit, so no wind this morning.   I can see two red, one grey, and two white cars in front of my window this morning.  There are more but not in my sight.  It is silent....so...I am to blog but have few words this morning.   I had a good yesterday spent with granddaughter Erin who invited me to join her browsing the junker store.  No, I did not find a treasure but I did look.   When I got back to Pat's house I chose to sit out in the sunshine and it was lovely, quiet, and very restful.   So my morning words are not very different today;  same old, same old,...smile....and that is not at all bad.   Peaceful and silent at the moment.   It will change before long, folks will be up and about making all kinds of noises and we will all be off for another busy day;  productive????  not sure, but it is in the trying that we shine.    Have yourself a good day...all day....do something good for you after you finish up on the good deeds to others.  Hugs to all.

5:49 a.m. Sunday

There is an old Irish proverb that talks about 'may the road rise up to meet you', how about a ride on this road this morning?   It would be a wake up ride I'm sure.

ha, ha, ha.....Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning to YOU!!!

I think my kids  thought I was pulling their hair out ....and that was before I put the brush to work.
Good Morning!!!!!  How are you today?   It is Sunday, no breeze, worker cars all in, blinds still drawn in the hospital wing and the leaves in the trees are not moving.  A small truck and four cars parked outside my window.   Silence!!!!   The start of a new Sunday and soon folks will be up and getting ready to attend the church of their choice.   I have no interesting news this morning as I did not go anywhere special yesterday.   Only one blind is open in the hospital wing.    So far there is one black, three grey and one white car parked outside my window.   Workers already busy in their new work day.   The trees are still, not a bit of a breeze out there this morning.  Quiet....Silence....the sky is pale, soft blue, and the reflection of the sun on the trees is really a very pretty sight.  So a brand new day begins....and I am off for a refill of my coffee , on to my easy chair and some television news before I dress for the day.   I have no special plans and I am not adverse to hearing a plan or two from my girls.   Maybe I can extend an invitation out to lunch, um....worth a try.   I hope your day is spectacular and you get to do all of the things you love to do.  Remember to be loving..be kind...be a ray of sunshine as  you donate a little of YOU into the lives of those you love and like.   Go make today a banner day filled with good thoughts, lots of hugs and some kind words...share you...be the beacon of light and love.   Go.....enjoy your day, all day.  Hugs to all.

It's Saturday....all day!!!!

Isn't nature amazing!!!   A picture sends a thousand words through our minds and or imagination does the rest.   I love to take time to find the hidden treasures in a picture like this one.   

The sky is a baby blue this morning, birds are out flying around, passing my window, not one has stopped on the fence this morning although all of the workers cars are in and parked facing my window.   I have a patriotic view as one is red, one white and one blue...two parked close to each other and the other a safe distance from a scratch..smile.

It is silent at the moment;  'not a creature stirring, no even a mouse' ....well, not one I can see anyway.   The blinds are still down in the hospital wing, the workers are in doing their duties.  It is silent at the moment so silver wings are flitting through the trees that are motionless, not a sign of a breeze this morning. 
A new day beginning and the silence refreshing.

I want to wish you a good day, all day.  Take time to 'smell the roses';  don't forget to say a prayer for those who are in need.    One of our men is out in the courtyard walking his little dog.   How he love that little dog...a long body,  close to the ground, moving along like it know where it wants to go and takes his master along with him. 

It is Saturday...think I've said that once or twice already...smile.    Saturday is good...nothing wrong with celebrating another one....get up...get out...and have yourself a day to remember.  I am off for a refill, get dressed and I think off to help my girls with their yard sale.    Not sure yet, but I had better put my shoes on. 

 My doorbell just rang and an invitation to go out for breakfast but too late as I have already had my coffee, second cup already gone...so nice to have an invitation early in the morning. 

I hope your day is special;  like YOU!!!!   Enjoy it to the fullest...be good, be kind, be gentle and smile some sunshine into the lives of those you love and like.  Be YOU!!!!  Hugs to all.

Friday

Good Morning!!!  I am up. The sky is a faded light blue, no clouds,  I am not awake.   I have not had my coffee as yet as it is still brewing and the aroma is beginning to fill the apartment and I am more than ready for my first cup....I'll be back.

The sky is a very light grey, tree leaves are still, not a bit of movement, shades down in the hospital wing, the worker's cars parked for the day and a new day begins....It is Friday, all day, the end of a week that was calm and clear, no storms of any kind and that isn't all bad.  The workers are in, cars are parked and I have a red one sitting out there in the parking space just under my window.  It isn't really red, but in that field, a lovely color with a bit of orange tint to it, have no idea what it is called but the automobile makers are thinking bright and beautiful.  At the moment silence outside, tv on inside here and we should get paid for all the ads we have to listen to.   One of the lady reporters has a grating voice for so early in the morning.  I can say it does wake you up...smile.

I hope you will make good use of your hours today.  Fill the with good deeds.   Be a welcome mat...smile.    Be aware life is short at best so go and make today a good day all day.  Stay well.   Stay happy.   BE YOU....and make someone you love , or even like, feel good today.    Coffee is hot, tasty and almost gone so off for a refill and the start of a brand new day.    Be good, be kind, be gentle...be YOU!!!  Hugs to all.
