2021

Good Morning ALL! I hope that you are well this beautiful Friday morning. The sky is clear and blue and the sun is shining ever so brightly. See what happens when the Momma gets a decent night sleep. I just had a shower and am feeling on top of the world. Mr. Alvin is waiting patiently downstairs for me.

I wanted to mention a topic that seems to have been gaining momentum as of late and that is the number of times one showers/baths. The “stars” are talking about it and I think it may have started with Ashton Kutcher and his wife Mila Kunis and the bathing of their children. Honestly, in North America we OVER USE everything and most especially water. There really is no need to most of us to shower or bath everyday. It has become the norm to do so because of the availability and convenience of water. But you know what that is becoming less and less the case as water is disappearing around the globe. Most especially in North America and mostly at this time in the United States. Now that being said we here in Alberta are facing a water crisis when it comes to watering livestock due to the heat wave and the drying up of natural watering places such as sloughs and streams. But think about it for most of us we do not require or need to bath or shower on a daily basis. When I was a child we had a bath once a week on Sundays. If you got dirty in between you simply washed those dirty parts in a small basin of water. We did not waste much when I was growing up but now, totally different story. Something to think about and do it now. I have a feeling that due to climate change our water in Canada is going to become less and less. We must think about the waste, how much we use and when we need to use it. This is going to become a crisis situation in a short period of time. I have started some time ago showering every few days and usually stretch that to four or five depending on how “dirty” I am which really I am never dirty – perhaps sweaty but never dirty. The only things that get dirty on me are my hands from gardening and my feet from walking with no shoes on. Please take the time and think about how you are using this very valuable natural resource as it may not last forever, most especially in the abundance of the recent past.

Okay Mr. Alvin is now awake, he was sleeping when I came upstairs and woke up after I was using the electric toothbrush not sure if he heard it or not. Anyway he is barking now. I do not wish to disturb the neighbours or keep in an anxious mood.

I hope that you have a great day. I am once again so grateful for the good sleep last night.

Stay cool and be safe.

Continuing to live this life with respect, kindness, compassion, patience, understanding, love and gratitude.

Always, Carol & Alvin

Thought for the day ….

Good Morning and Welcome to Monday the 14th day of January, 2019.

What a great way to end the weekend a Sunday with your daughter and then friends.

My daughter and I shared a pancake breakfast and a great visit.

I love spending time with my girl.

She is the best person I know.

Alvin loves snuggles and playing with his sister.

I am so grateful to be surrounded by loving, caring beings.

Not only did I have time with my girl but I had a nice hour long walk with Alvin and our friends “N” and “I” – they live close by.

It was so beautiful out yesterday – perfect for walking.

Just perfection.

At the end of it all I even submitted some tea orders.

Da Da.

A Sunday filled with abundance, success, kindness and love.

What a great way to end the weekend.

 

So now back to work.

Alvin was squawking a few minutes ago and I realized that I had hurriedly sat down at the computer and forgot to place his blanket down for him.

Ah, my poor boy.

I mentioned to my friends yesterday that I was curious to know what Alvin would do if we were out for a walk and I let him off his leash.

My friend “I” said “He would stay with you as he never takes his eyes off you, even when sniffing, he always looks around to see where you are.”

Not too worry, I will not be letting him off his leash.

I was just wondering.

 

Well I guess I should get this show on the road.

Time flies quickly in the morning.

I tried my new Waterpik this morning and I love it.

Along with the electric toothbrush – my teeth feel like we were just to the Dentist for a cleaning.

Well after two weeks of this and I go for my cleaning – they will likely notice a difference.

I do already.

Definitely a good purchase.

 

Have an awesome Monday.

Special Hello to:  family and friends, love them all, I am so blessed.

Always, Carol & Alvin
