Good Morning ALL! I hope that you are feeling and doing GREAT this Wednesday morning. Today I work from the office so I am trying to keep my energy levels high and positive. To be honest I love working from home and being with Alvin and going to the office well it is okay but there is no comparison. The air is warm outside this morning. Hard to believe it is going into the last week of November. Although I did hear on the weather channel last night something about “our temperatures being close to normal,” I guess they should know as they keep track of these things and I do not. Alvin and I went for a lovely walk during my lunch break. So nice outside. I love my ice tracks.
I made my list, well sort of all how much baking I need to do to cover Christmas 2022. There are three parties of various sizes, friends and neighbours and family on the list and of course some for Christmas. Trying to keep it down to a dull roar this year. We really do not need that much “sugar.”
I learned that a fellow coworker from my SGI days passed away and her funeral was yesterday. She was the age of my sister. How incredibly sad! Always a reminder when someone passes away – that we need to live and love our lives each and every day. You never know. Be kind and have fun.
Still pretty dark outside at 6:09 a.m. – we are running ahead of time this morning. We will have time to do some cuddling before my ride arrives.
Well I suppose we will head back downstairs. I do want to ensure that Mr. Alvin goes outside again before I leave and that he drinks some water.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Continuing to live this life with kindness, respect, compassion, patience, love, laughter, understanding, gratitude, focus, possibilities and coffee.
Always, Carol & Alvin
PS: just a tad over one month until Christmas Eve!

Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 29th day of January, 2015.
How are you this morning?
Another weekend about to arrive.
What are your plans?
Mine are pretty much the same from week to week.
I have a list of things to do on Saturday my day off for the week.
The list can range from laundry which is always on the top to running out to take Alvin to the Vet to have his pedicure to coffee with my girl friends to making jewellery to cleaning.
It is a varied list for the most part from week to week.
NICE.
I am very blessed and even though sometimes my “EGO” gets in the way ( I do not like when it rears it’s ugly head as I always go over and over the situation and give myself heck ).
I guess most people have a moment or three.
I try very hard every day to be polite, helpful and kind and not to let my feelings which are my EGO take over a situation.
Because it usually means I let a comment or situation be personal and most times they are not.
Last night I let some comments get my EGO and I regret a couple of things that I said and not that they were particularly mean or low-spirited but I felt regretful for letting the words leave my mouth.
You know what I mean.
I believe that most people let it happen from time to time.
Sometimes it is just that we take things personally when they are not meant to be .
Anyway …. that is my “thought” for this Friday.
Try to … I will be a better, more thoughtful, kind and generous person today.
Thank you for reading and I love your comments.
Special Hello to: all my fellow bloggers ….. great job.
Always, Carol and Alvin
P.S: this thought has always ran through my mind ….. who are the people who get to design the “facial tissues boxes” ….. the KLEENEX boxes and such. They always do such an awesome job. Now I want my kleenex boxes to match my decor. I would love to design these boxes. I think this would be one of the best jobs on the planet and you never hear about it.
