Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 1st day of May, 2015.
Well I was off to a great start this morning.
As I was writing the first line in my gratitude journal about 5:00 a.m. …..
I wrote “I cannot believe that today is the first day of Easter”
I looked at the words and then started to giggle.
Really, no idea where that came from but it was funny.
What a great way to start a Friday.
Laughing.
Laughing at oneself, no less.
I know that today is going to be great.
Alvin likely thought his Momma had lost her senses.
On top of being the first day of May and one month closer to summer ….. I noticed that it was starting to get light out at 5:30 instead of 6:00 a.m.
Note to self: remember to flip all of my “paper” calendars to May.
They are forecasting some rain and that would be so nice.
Oh, I must share a few of the most wonderful things that happened to me on my first day back to work from being sick:
– a co-worker had written me a hand-made thank you card in appreciation of “me” and two home baked cookies
-another co-worker had returned all of my phone calls from the past couple of days
-others showed appreciation by making sure that I was okay
-others took on a few tasks to help me out
-my daughter picked up a jean jacket from a swap that they are having at her work (she is always thinking of her Momma)
-after work while waiting for the bus I noticed a gal that usually catches the bus with me and who lives in the same neighbourhood …. she waited for a couple of lights to come over and ask me if I wanted a ride home. She had driven to work. So thoughtful considering she had to walk the total opposite way to her car.
WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY ….. it was so wonderful.
It is the little things that make a person glad to be alive.
I wish you only grand “little things” today to make you feel as great as I did yesterday.
Have a great Friday.
Gotta go.
Time to catch the bus and of course, snuggle for a couple of minutes with me Alvin.
Special Hello to: my sister ….
Always, Carol and Alvin
