Thought for the day …..

Good Morning and Welcome to Saturday the 10th day of March, 2018.

Today is the birthday of my son-in-law’s brother, Happy Birthday “D.”

The sun is shining and it is a great day thus far.

Alvin slept from 10:30 until 4:15 a.m. (not bad).

Feeling more rested.

So excited to see the sun shining.

A day where the sun is shining in the early morning is a GREAT day.

 

We are preparing for my daughter’s birthday.

My daughter and her husband and the grand-pups are coming over.

We have to do some light cleaning and tidying up.

Laundry of course, cause it is Saturday.

I am making supper – my daughter’s favourite and my son-in-law is bringing cupcakes.

All bases are covered.

 

I am reminded by the book that I am reading that sometimes we, people in general spend too much time on the past and forget about today and tomorrow.

I am not saying that the past is not important and does not require some attention but not so much that it deters us from today and tomorrow.

I know that without yesterday there would be no todays or tomorrows.

But let us celebrate today so that we set the stage for a great tomorrow.

 

Have an awesome Saturday, March 10th, 2018.

May the sun be shining softly upon you as you carry on with your day.

Play some music and do a happy dance, just because you can.

Be happy …..

 

Special Hello to: all those celebrating birthdays ……

Always, Carol & Alvin

Thought for the day…..

Good Morning and Welcome to Thursday the 7th day of November, 2013 and my  ” 1,000th” BLOG.

I cannot believe it.

Sometimes all you have to do is “start” and the rest is history……

I did not think when I started to write this blog in April of 2010 that I would some day be celebrating my “1,000th” blog.

This has been such an adventure for me.

There is so much that I want to say and do via this forum and I am doing it one day at a time.

Another milestone for me is actually following through with a story.

My idea to write one line per day a feature on this blog has been such an incredible joy for me.

I have always since a young girl wanted to be a published writer.

I will say that writing one line per day without no contemplation or editing has been a bit of a challenge.

Sometimes I think the story is going slowly and other times not so.

But it is mine and I am proud.

Someday my dream of promoting a book on the “TODAY SHOW” will be a reality.

Perhaps sooner than later.

All in good time, I suppose.

So on this terrific Thursday as I celebrate my accomplishment, I give thanks to all those folks who have taken the time to check in with me and read what I have written.

Truly “thank you” is not enough but alas it will have to suffice for now.

We should all celebrate our lives, our accomplishments no matter the size.

For in our hearts we are all celebrity and deserve our time on the “stage.”

Take care this day and have a great one.

I wanted to mention this because it is important.

This morning about 5:15 a.m. I called our “311” number to check on the time that I need to catch the bus this morning (usually carpool).

The 311 operator that answered and identified herself as Josephine and asked how she could help me.

I gave her the info and she gave me the time.

She was so professional, friendly and cheery for that time of day.

It is a reminder that we all do not work regular business hours, and when she was so happy and well NICE,  so early in the morning it gave me new found energy.

Thank you Miss Josephine.  I am going to contact her Manager and give her KUDOS.  She is very deserving.

Always, Carol and Alvin
