Good Morning and Welcome to Wednesday the 22nd day of April, 2015.
I hope that this finds you in excellent spirits.
It is about 5:47 a.m. here in Edmonton as I key these words.
Alvin is standing near the office doorway just starring at me.
Not sure if he is trying to tell me something or just being himself.
We are back to our routine …..
When I write in my daily gratitude journal he now joins me on my lap.
I love having him near me as I write in my journal.
I am on Day 2050 in the book.
Which is just over 5.5 years.
Not the same book, of course.
Each morning I do a couple of lines from the previous days.
Highlights you could call them.
Followed by a list of what I am grateful for ……
Followed by thank you for all of the people that were/are sick and for their healing.
Well Mr. Alvin is moaning out in the hall.
Sounds like an attention thing …. I think he is feeling okay.
Sure did not block his appetite this morning ….
Back to the writing ….. I actually starting keeping a journal when I was about 13-14.
Someone gave me a diary as a gift and that started it all.
Of course, even in school I did love to write….
My first poem was for Valentine’s Day when I was 7 to my Grandparents.
Somehow by writing things down it is my way of recording my history.
I think it helps me through each day and every situation.
Making it real ….
Well it is almost time here to head downstairs to make the final touches on getting ready to leave for work.
My life has been my life.
Full of interesting details …. I should say.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Write your life down ….. now it feels like a life.
Perhaps it should be a book ……
Special Hello to: my family and friends …. who are always supportive …..
Always, Carol and Alvin
