Good Morning and Welcome to Monday the 23rd day of July, 2018.
The sky is overcast with deep blue rain clouds.
You can see the odd patch of pale blue sky to the east.
Alvin is on his little blue blanket beside me as I write this post.
He asked for a massage this morning.
I think that it is funny/strange how this all started.
He just sat beside me and placed his paw up which is his way of “asking nice.”
He figured out how to ask me for my help.
One week from tomorrow the COMPANY arrives.
YAY, my sister is coming.
She will spend a few days with us before my niece-in-law and great nephews arrive for a couple of days.
Always great to have company.
Soon I shall be on vacation.
YAY, feels like forever since I have been on vacation.
Yesterday was a great day.
We did some chores around the house and was just making pancakes when the phone rang.
My daughter called to say that she was going to come over for a visit.
Perfection.
I love making pancakes for Sunday morning company.
They turned out to be some of the best ones yet.
My daughter and baby Milo (the little grand-pup) arrived just as I was finished making the pancakes (they were keeping warm in the oven) and cleaning up.
Always a good thing as then I could concentrate on our visit.
We had a good visit along with good food.
After breakfast/brunch I borrowed her car and went to the grocery store for a few items.
Alvin had some quality time with his big sis and baby Milo.
After they left for home we just had a quiet day.
It is nice to be able to take a deep breath and relax.
Close your eyes.
Think of something or someone wonderful OR perhaps quiet your mind and think of nothing at all.
That was the beginning of our afternoon.
Eyes closed.
Then a clink clink clink ….
Eyes opened.
Raindrops hitting the windows.
Each second the rain came down harder and harder.
Lasting only a few minutes.
Glorious sunshine arrived.
Rainbow in the sky.
Eyes closed.
Deep breath.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful Monday.
Take time for yourself.
Be kind to yourself and to all others whether two-legged or four, winged or crawling.
All life is precious.
Happy Monday.
Special Hello to: THE WORLD
Always, Carol & Alvin
