Good Morning,
Before I get started I would like to send Birthday Wishes to two of my friends.
My friend Carolyn, I have known her since High School and
Our friend Iris, meeting her after I moved to Edmonton.
Both wonderful people and great friends.
We are halfway into a beautiful Sunday morning.
Alvin and I have been up to stay up for about two hours now.
We went for a nice walk.
Not too many people out and about until about halfway through our walk.
We saw our friend “Sadie” who was out with her Dad usually we see her with her Mom or Sister.
I love Sadie, she is a white/yellow lab and reminds me of my grandpup Miss Aspen.
So lovely and kind.
The air is so fresh that I had to make a promise to both Alvin and myself that we would always go for a morning stroll.
I think it is the nicest time of the day.
Not too hot or cold.
Usually quiet.
A good time for reflection.
I snapped some photos when we arrived home of our backyard which is our happy place.
They are still loading.
I guess my poor computer is telling me that I MUST get through those almost 40,000 photos and delete the ones that we do not need.
It is one of those jobs that is overwhelming.
But as I tell Alvin when he has problems crossing the doorway …. put one paw/foot in front of the other and soon you will be walking cross the floor.
I remember that line from a song, I think.
Alvin does not really enjoy walking on the laminate floor.
Looks like I will have to do a separate post with the photos as they continue to load.
I do wish to report that I am well into Chapter ONE of my book.
Writing is coming easily and I am happy for that.
Likely there will be several edits but I am on the way.
Well time to go and have breakfast.
I started about a week ago, actually a week ago today to fast for at least 15 hours between my night meal and morning meal.
I have noticed that I am feeling better.
So that is a good thing.
I can hear the computer working to save the photos.
Just wished that they would finish loading soon.
It has been awhile.
Also my dear computer is getting older as far as computers go.
I appreciate her every single day and hope that she will work for me forever.
The coffee has been ready for a few minutes and I do not think that I can wait any longer.
I apologize.
I need COFFEE.
When you sit and smell that delectable aroma wafting from the main floor to upstairs …. it is almost mind bending.
I need COFFEE.
Okay, perhaps a bit over the top but I do love a good cup or two of coffee.
Likely should be enjoying a cup of coffee on the deck in this beautiful weather.
Okay I am going to go and have that coffee, some toast and fruit and will post the photos later.
I have laundry to bring up from the basement and wash the main floor.
Also I want to trim the paws of my boy (now that is a big job).
Be kind and respectful of all around you including yourself.
Enjoy each moment the good with the not so good.
Take time to smell the roses.
Even Mr. Alvin was stopped to smell them this morning.
Yes, he loves roses.
I wish you the best Sunday.
May your day be filled with great joy, much love and laughter, feeling great and abundance.
Happy Sunday.
I/We shall remain,
As Always, Carol & Mr. Alvin
