2021

Good Morning All! It is a gorgeous morning here in Edmonton. I hope that this finds you well.

Today is my 64th birthday. It is also the 54th birthday of my cousin Michael, birthdays for friends April and Dennis.

So on this 64th Birthday- I am grateful:

I am grateful that I thought to book this day off as vacation.

I am grateful that we finally moved upstairs to sleep after five weeks on the sofa.

I am grateful that Alvin is well on the road to recovery.

I am over the moon grateful for my daughter, son-in-law and grand pups.

I am so grateful for the best friends in the universe.

I am grateful for the beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered to my door yesterday from my kids.

I am grateful to have my own home.

I am grateful for the recent rain.

I am grateful that I am surrounded by good people.

I am grateful to see green lush trees out my front window.

I am grateful to all my family and friends who reached out to me this morning via phone, text, emails and on social media.

I am grateful to be in good health.

I am grateful that I sat up in bed this morning reaching my toes to the floor for the 64th year.

Alvin has his first of six laser therapy sessions this morning. A friend down the street will drive us to and from his appointment. My cousins Lorette and Wayne are coming for a visit. I even have birthday cake to share. Now time for some toast. Also I have lots of food in the fridge so no cooking this week for me.

Amanda and Steven had supper with me last night. We had our fav meal: homemade “chicken fingers” with honey mustard sauce, potato salad and vegetables. I made a vanilla layer cake, too. It was great.

My life is good.
