Thought for the day ……

Good Morning and Welcome to Wednesday the 6th day of December, 2017.

Today is the 59th Birthday of my dear cousin “J” …….

Wishing you a Happy Happy Birthday dear cousin.

May this next year be filled with perfection of all things.

 

Well as December seems to be zooming along where are we in the grand scheme of things.

Right where we should be.

Whatever you get done for the holidays is just what needs to be done.

If something is missed it is for good reason, it was not necessary.

Simple is best.

Enjoy this time of year.

Enjoy the music, the extra nights out, the food, the sweets, and the gifts.

But most of all enjoy each other.

Be kind to each other.

If someone is in need – lend a helping hand.

 

Well someone here took a few minutes extra sleep this morning and needs to run.

Gotta catch that bus you know.

 

Happy Wednesday.

Special Hello to: all those folks celebrating Birthdays today.

Always, Carol & Alvin

Thought for the day …..

Good Morning and Welcome to Sunday the 29th day of November, 2015.

The second last day of November …. where did it go?

I think that we say and think that every single month.

Time just has a way of marching on, right!

That is why it is so important to live each day to the fullest.

Now fullest does not necessarily mean that you have to get up at 5:00 a.m. and go to bed at midnight filling the day full of doing things.

Fullest to me, means that when you go to bed at night that you have done your very best.

I believe that living each day to the fullest is not so much about the number of things that you accomplished from your “list” but more about how you felt, and reacted to situations/people through the course of your day.

We all tend to judge ourselves and others.

How about we try not to.

Turn those nasty thoughts and remarks into a happy dance.

Instead of making others feel bad and making yourself look “like a butt” try to make others feel good …. say something pleasant / do something nice.

You will feel so much better.

Just be your very best self.

Be kind …. Be respectful …… do what you can do to that end.

Do not be disappointed or critical of yourself just do better that is why we have tomorrows.

Living each day to the fullest ….. I smiled at everyone.  I treated myself and others with kindness and respect.  I felt good about how I handled each situation and each encounter.

Food for thought.

Now it is time to get this day going …. Mr. Alvin’s haircut and bath were rescheduled to today as yesterday got away on me.  Finish the laundry and have some fun with me Alvin.

Thank you.

Special Hello: to my fellow humans …. let us always do better today than yesterday.

Always, Carol and Alvin

 

 

 

Thought for the day……

Good Morning and Welcome to Tuesday the 11th day of November, 2014.

This day we remember all those who lost their lives to keep their homelands and peoples safe.

We keep in our thoughts and recent memories those who continue to leave their homes to work toward a peaceful planet.

Fighting in a war is not something that I think is a good thing but sometimes it is necessary.

There has always been in our history those who live for power and to suppress those around them.

Greed in our history has always run rampant.

I would hope that someday on this beautiful blue green planet that we find a way to live in peace.

I hope that the need for power and greed melts away.

We need to live peacefully.

To show kindness and respect to those around us.

That kindness and respect is to our environment and all life forms on this planet.

That would be true peace.

I do think that someday we will live in peace.

So Remember on this Day to live peacefully and with kindness and respect.

Special Hello to: all those families with members away from home working on peace.

We thank you.

Always, Carol and Alvin

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

Thought for the day……

Good Morning and Welcome to Monday the 17th day of February, 2014.

WOW – how did we get here?

One day at a time, I suspect.

It is beautiful here in Edmonton – the sun is shining brightly.

The sun always makes me feel good – no matter what the day may bring my way.

Today is a work day at the store – that is okay.

I was just reading some of my fellow bloggers and I am reminded that there is a lot of good people in the world.

I wished that every story we read was good and kind and well.

I love when people rescue animals or other people.

What a wonderful world this would be if we all just did that – rescued each other – every living people.

Treat every living being on this planet with kindness and respect.

You do not have to love every person or every animal but the very least you  should do is to treat them with kindness and respect.

So try it today …. go out and be kind and respectful.

I will tell you this …..

When you treat the world with kindness and respect – it comes back to you in return.

I wish you all a very great day.

Some of the Canadian provinces celebrate this day as “FAMILY DAY.”

It is a statutory holiday in some provinces and it is here in Alberta.

Happy Family Day …..

Special Hello to:  I am going to see if I can get hold of my sister to SKYPE …. yahoo.

Always and Forever, Carol and her Alvin.
