Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 13th day of July, 2018.
Overcast with a slight breeze this morning.
Last night or shall I say a few hours ago this morning, we had quite the storm.
The light show and the thunder roaring was enough to wake us up.
For some reason I could not close my thoughts last night.
Kept thinking about a situation/conversation at work.
ARGH, not great when that happens.
But today is a new day and all is good.
Looks like rain.
Also when Mother Nature was putting on her show earlier this morning, I decided to get up and check the window.
I always leave our bedroom window open at night.
Sure enough this time, the rain was coming in at an angle and the window sill was wet as was the floor.
So I grabbed a towel to wipe it dry.
I was happily surprised to see my flowers still standing this morning.
The worse of the storm seemed to be at the front of the house, from the north and at the back to the south is partially sheltered.
Anyway, I am happy, pleased, relieved that they continue to look their most beautiful selves – my flowers and plants.
Last night we decided to go for a walk about 8:00 p.m. – was 26 degrees celsius earlier and I feel that is too hot for us, older “farts.” (me and Mr. Alvin).
It was actually quite nice when we went.
We were so HAPPY to see our friend out in their back yard (she just had hip surgery near the end of June).
Alvin caught a glimpse of her and he ran for their back gate.
We chatted for a few seconds through the fence but Alvin was so loud we went in …. he calmed down and we were able to visit.
He gets so excited with the people that he loves.
She is doing so well.
So very happy for her.
Well here we are and it is Friday morning.
Thank goodness.
My daughter and pups are coming over on the weekend at some point.
We always love to see them.
Not sure what this day is going to bring.
We are hopeful that our update to our computer system will be running smoothly on Monday.
Testing was going pretty good, I thought.
Well folks have a great Friday the 13th.
Be safe and dry.
Be kind to yourself and to others.
We only have but one life so make it count.
You do not have to do things one may consider GREAT like inventing “electricity” or finding the “cure for cancer” BUT if we all do our very best it is enough.
We can be GREAT by treating others including animals and the environment with kindness and respect.
If we all did just that ….. the world would change dramatically.
Just think …. just dream …. just BE your good self.
Maybe you will be the one to find the cure for cancer or to write the next best selling novel.
You are important and you are great.
Have an awesome Friday.
Special Hello to: all those folks who are lost – you are found. You are important.
Always, Carol & Alvin
