Good Morning and Welcome to Thursday the 4th day of April, 2019.
Dark outside as it is only 6:15 a.m.
Alvin is feeling his own self once again.
The household returns gladly to normal.
I enjoyed the day watching over my boy.
We went for a nice walk later in the afternoon.
So nice to no longer be wearing heavy coats, scarves, mitts, hats and boots and for Mr. Alvin, his winter jacket.
I have been noticing more honking by the geese or perhaps it is only more geese.
Back to work today.
Yesterday on one of the daytime shows “Rob Thomas” was the musical guest.
He sang “One Less Day.”
I was taken by the lyrics.
Here are a couple:
I’m not afraid of getting older.
One less day from dying younger.
I pondered those statements, and how true.
We often worry and stress about getting/growing older.
Perhaps we feel that we will lose what we have: health, family and friends.
Perhaps we feel that we will not live to be in our golden years.
There are so many things we think about regarding age.
Maybe, just maybe if we think about it from Rob’s point of view.
One less day from dying younger.
I am not afraid of getting older.
Truly, I have not really thought about it too much.
I have the thought in my head that I am in good health and am going to live to be 100 years old.
I try to live in each moment and not go back or ahead too much.
As we live and breathe – dying is a fact of life.
Not much point wasting precious breaths worrying about something that is inevitable.
So go on live your life.
There is only time ahead of you.
Well almost time to head on downstairs, grab lunch, put on shoes and coat and head out for work.
Catching a ride with my neighbour as my carpool’s son has knee surgery today.
Happy Thursday.
So happy to be alive and to be here.
Have a great great day.
Special Hello to: all those folks who read my blog, thank you.
Always, Carol & Alvin
