Good Morning All! Another beautiful morning and warmer than previous mornings. A couple of days ago I could see my breath in the earlier hours. We had a great sleep and today is my late work start with beginning at 11 am and working till 7 pm. Usually I am not scheduled two weeks in a row but this week I am.
I am closely watching the overnight temperatures and thinking I will bring in my geraniums tonight. I will winter them in my southern exposure kitchen window as last year. They thrive there with the warmth of the sun. Will be more moving things around as I seem to have plants everywhere. They make me happy and are good for our air quality. Plus having some actual flowers in various shades of pink throughout the winter months certainly does not hurt.
I stopped writing to go upstairs and get dressed and then we went for our ten minute round trip walk. I’m back. It is gorgeous outside. I wish this weather to stay till November. The trees are pretty green with our recent rain. The grass well that depends on what side of the street you live on but of course the rain didn’t hurt.
I was thinking last night while watching a series on Prime called Solos, I believe. The first one was with Anne Hathaway which was cool as it was about a woman who had a Mother with ALS, I believe and her desire to time travel. I don’t remember the name of the actor in the second one but it was interesting as well. I think he paid to have a clone of him to live with his wife and two children as he had only so much time left. Maybe his duplicate wasn’t a clone. Now his daughter Peg was in the next episode which was cool. Peg was 71 and travelling on a one way mission in space. She was speaking about not being noticed partially because she was scared. By the time she was ready to, it was too late. I guess the whole point is to leave it up to your imagination. Well done. I do enjoy some of the different programs on Prime. Anyway I was thinking of some of the things that Peg said and how those thoughts applied to my life and others. I often wonder why some people end up alone and others do not. Of course, I am intelligent enough to know that you have to want to be with someone and actively be in pursuit. But what about the ones that have desperately wanted someone but they were never good enough. Maybe due to religion or being divorced, maybe they had children or maybe because their Mother would not approve or maybe that right person never came along? I know people that have had these situations occur during their lifetime. Very sad. I guess you have to be specific on what you want and not go back and forth. Life is interesting and I will say that I have had one thus far. When I think back to my youth it seems like a lifetime ago. I guess it was. Well with Mr. Alvin in my life, I certainly am not alone. I am blessed to have a daughter snd son-in-law and grand pups. I have a sister and brothers. I have a great many friends and some I have known for almost my whole life. Very lucky. You can feel alone even when you are not. Sometimes I feel alone!
Well it is time to enjoy my cup of coffee before it gets cold. Maybe spend some time on the deck before work.
I hope that you are well and maybe asking those life questions? Always good to ask questions.
Continuing to live this life with kindness, respect, compassion, patience, understanding, love and gratitude with laughter each day.
Always Carol&Alvin
Thought this was interesting and a good thing to do, cannot hurt.
