Thought for the day ….

Good Morning and Welcome to Wednesday the 21st day of November, 2018.

Another beautiful day on the way.

Alvin and I enjoyed the most wonderful walk last night.

The air was calm and warm.

The sidewalks were about 80% clear of ice and snow.

We walked slowly where need be and took in our whole walk.

On the way home we bumped into our friends “A” and Abi (Alvin’s girl friend).

She squealed when she saw us.

She is so cute.

Abi always jumps up and gives me a kiss.

She always makes my day.

It has been awhile.

I had forgot that Abi and Alvin were the same age or pretty close.

Four-legged buddies.

We caught up in each other’s news.

Then on our way home.

 

Tonight is the Guide Christmas Cookie Sale.

I am going with my friend “S” and her daughter.

Should be fun.

There always is a bit of waiting to get into the sale and it is always packed to the rafters.

But one manages to find some cookies and then on our way.

 

I heard on the news last night that CANADA POST says that the strike could go into the New Year.

They were talking about the effect on small businesses whether in stores or on-line; parcels and Christmas cards.

If they are on strike, I am going to wait and mail my cards in January.

It would be a waste of money as there is always the possibility that they would not reach their destination.

Better late than never.

I send cards, photo(s) and letter.

Time spent is not to be wasted.

 

Well here we go again.

Time to leave for work.

 

How are you doing today?

Are you on your way out the door to work or to school?

Do you work from home?

Stay-home Mom? (hardest worker of all)

Whatever you do.

Wherever you go.

May you have a productive, safe, happy day.

 

Special Hello to: my friends all over the world.

Always, Carol & Alvin

 

 

Thought for the day …..

Good Morning and Welcome to Monday the 6th day of March, 2017.

More snow…….

Just shovelled and more…..

Seems like we have had more in the past couple of days than we have had all winter.

Maybe.

 

Well finally back to work.

Still have the nose part of the cold but otherwise feel pretty good.

Anyone who has a cold out there ….. feel better.

It seems to hang on for awhile.

Drink lots of tea with lemon.

 

Mr. Alvin and I enjoyed a lovely walk yesterday.

Our first actual walk in many days.

So nice to get out and breathe fresh air.

I know that he enjoyed the time outside.

 

Alvin and I finished putting together his sister/my daughter’s birthday present including the wrap and card part.

We are ready for her birthday.

Just because he is the brother that he is – he insisted to do up a special gift bag of his own for her.

He picked out the items that he wanted included and helped with the wrapping.

He loves gift wrapping.

 

Well looks like almost time to leave.

Have to bundle up and grab my lunch.

I hope that you have an awesome Monday.

Take Care.

 

Special Hello to: all those folks out there who help others including our four-legged friends and all others.

Always, Carol and Alvin

Thought for the day ……

Good Morning and Welcome to Thursday the 4th day of August, 2016.

Overcast but it looks like the sun is trying to burst through …. I hope so.

It has rained overnight as the deck is wet.

I did not hear it.

There be puppies coming to our house in a few minutes.

Elton and Casey are coming to spend the day with me and Alvin.

It will be great for Alvin to have some company and I love spending time with all the boys.

Hard to believe that it is Thursday …… where are my vacation days going?

Well I did accomplish a couple of things off my TO DO LIST.

Cleaned all of the bathroom fans.

Not that it is a terribly time consuming job but it is one that somehow always gets pushed to the bottom of the list.

I do have one HUGE job and that is digging up a strip of the front lawn.

Not especially looking forward to that but it will be fun to get my hands dirty.

I guess I will start that tomorrow as it would be nice to have it done before the end of the weekend and I am not sure how long it is going to take me.

 

Alvin is curled up on the end of our bed – that is his spot to wait for me when I am having a shower.

It is funny how he always is wherever I am when at home.

If I go outside he wants outside.

He makes me feel special.

Our four-legged friends have a way of doing that …..

 

Well just enough time to have breakfast before our company arrives.

As Elton cannot have banana anymore I like to make sure that we have breakfast before he arrives.

 

I hope that you have an awesome Thursday.

If you have a four-legged friend – keep them close.

Treat them with love, kindness and respect.

Somedays, no most days they are better than we are at being kind and compassionate and loving.

We can definitely learn from them.

 

Special Hello to: all my four-legged friends out there … thank you.

Always, Carol and Alvin

Thought for the day…..

Good Morning and Welcome to Tuesday the 16th day of September, 2014.

I am back …. took a sick day yesterday as I was not feeling well …..

I hope that this finds you well and ready to go for this Tuesday.

I am reminded by those around me that life is precious.

Whether it is a two-legged Father or a four-legged puppy friend.

We need, no we have to treat each life force with love and respect.

All too often we let petty thoughts get in the way of being respectful and full of love.

I am just putting this out there for this Tuesday …..

Let us be grand master of respect.

Let us be grand masters of love.

Let us be grand masters of thought.

Let us be grand masters of feeling with a true heart.

Let us be grand masters of paying kindness forward.

Let us be grand keepers of this beautiful planet we call “Earth” and home.

Special Hello to: all of my dear ones out there ….. you are truly loved and respected.

Always, Carol and Alvin
