Good Morning and well here we are today is Thursday.
Almost one week in the newly renovated office building.
I actually kind of like my new workspace.
What is taking a bit of getting used to it is so open.
If we use the stand up desk … you can see your neighbour.
It is loud as there is are upper dividers.
Nothing on the walls to absorb some of the sound and echoes.
But all in all, it is okay.
Last night Alvin and I shovelled the driveway and deck.
The stripping on the bottom of the garage door came part way off so I called one of my neighbours to the rescue.
Thankfully their older teenage son was home and came to help.
I am most grateful to have such great neighbours.
After that situation was handled; I went to shovel the front.
As I was shovelling the porch I happen to look down and see that the walk and the front of my house had already been shovelled.
My neighbour shovelled.
So then I went and shovelled Humphrey’s Mom’s front sidewalk and then to the house.
I am so blessed to know and be surrounded by such good people.
Got some exercise and fresh air.
We did not make it out for a walk which was disappointing as the snow was too deep for Alvin.
Not everyone had shovelled when we would have gone for our walk.
I have been posting some tips for reduction of Plastics on Facebook.
Especially single use plastics.
Most people are also posting tips.
Which has been nice.
At the end of the day it is not just plastics; it is everything.
We in North America are just crazy over the top consumers.
I look around my house and see all of the “stuff” that I have accumulated over the years.
Most things I never use.
To be honest.
Some things once a year and they remain in storage during the rest of the year.
I just want to be more aware and want others to be the same.
We will not always agree on everything but we need to try to do with less.
Well time for me to sign off for today.
Be Kind and Respectful to yourself, to others, to animals, to the environment and to this Planet.
We only have one.
Always, Carol & Alvin
