Good Morning ALL! Just back a few minutes ago from a nice early morning walk before the heat of the day. There is a bit of a breeze so it is perfect for a walk. While out on the walk I picked up a few pieces of trash so I figured not only did we get some exercise, we also did some community service. Right! The wild roses are blooming by the entrance to the park so we, rather I stopped to give them a sniff. My favourite fragrance next to summer rain and freshly cut grass. So gorgeous. So pretty. Today is my late shift that is why I left the post for a bit later than usual and decided to walk first. We went to bed later than usual last night and two hours later at midnight, guess who woke up and it wasn’t me? So off downstairs we went and outside. He had to pee so then back upstairs to bed. Next time we were up was 4:30 (man, did I feel that). So I gave him his glucosamine chew and his breakfast and then outside and then back to sleep for a bit on the sofa. To be honest, I had set the alarm on my phone for 6:15 but somehow I just could not do it so I set it for 6:30 and we were up at 6:45. Oh well, I am not perfect. When I am tired, I find it hard to get up unless I have no choice. Given the choice, well you know what I did. Oh well, no matter. We got our walk in and the coffee is perking and I am writing this post. Yesterday when I finished writing my post, I noticed that it was at 999, wondering if it is at the 1000 mark now. How exciting! I cannot believe that number. Guess I need to step up this post. I used to write more about different things but somehow fell of that wagon. Perhaps it is time to get going and start writing more poetry. Some crafting ideas. How about organizational ideas? I love to organize and people tell me that I am quite good at it.

Oh, I just got a waft of that freshly brewed coffee. I think that I will be able to enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck this morning as I do not start work until 11:00 a.m.

Yesterday my daughter stopped by after an appointment, she stopped and picked us up a few items from the grocery store. She is so kind and generous to her Momma. I love spending time with my girl.

I am grateful for the morning walk.

I am grateful for all my dear friends and family.

I am grateful for our good health.

I am grateful for all the people that we will meet.

I am grateful for our beautiful home.

I am grateful that the roses are blooming and smelling so fragrant.

I am grateful for my/our life.

Well somebody is acting up so better sign off for now.

I wish you a great Tuesday.

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

Always, Carol & Alvin

Thought for the day…..

Good Morning and Welcome to Monday the 28th day of July, 2014.

It is a glorious day here in the City of Edmonton.

The sun is up, there is a slight breeze and it is cool and comfortable.

It would be a great idea for me to get my bottom more mobile and take Mr. Alvin for an early morning walk.

The next few days are forecasted to be with the humidity in the 30’s ….. pretty hot.

We then have to wait until later in the evening to go for a walk.

I love walking in the evenings but in the morning is also nice.

Only hitch is me.

I am learning and slowly becoming a morning person.

Is there such a think?

Why are we as human beings so much different between morning and night?

I know when I get to work in the mornings which is generally about 7:15 …. when I greet people they sometimes do not reply.

For some reason most people do not function well in the early morning.

Lots of people are what we deem as night owls.

They stay up late whether due to work or play or just because.

Then they sleep in (if possible).

Is there such a thing as an afternoon person?

Food for thought.

Perhaps I will do some research and find out what the experts say on the subject.

But it does intrigue me somewhat.

So on this wonderful Monday morning ….. I hope this finds you well and ready to start your day.

Happy and smiley.

Take Care.

Special Hello to: my sister ….. perhaps this weekend we can catch up.

Always, Carol and Alvin
