Good Morning and Welcome to Wednesday the 31st Day of December, 2014.
The last day of this year.
I have been away from writing since my blog on Christmas Morning.
I just did not have words to write …..
Perhaps it was a good way to end the year.
Giving myself some time to reflect on the year and the holiday.
Yesterday when I was updating my excel spreadsheet with the purchases that I had made over the last couple of weeks; I came across a notebook with only a few pages written upon.
Crazy but they were from the first three days of January, 2014.
Usually in addition to writing this blog I write in a gratitude journal everyday.
This past week I have not written in that journal either …. perhaps that is why I feel like I am just wandering about and not doing much.
This is the entry from my gratitude journal and I would like to share it with all of you:
“DAY 1565, Friday January 3rd, 2014 – 5:05 a.m.
Looks like rain turned to snow overnight.
Still mild out.
Back to work as feeling better.
Using one of my new notebooks from Manda.
Hard to believe Christmas over and already Day 3 of the New Year.
I’m reading Dr. Wayne Dyer’s book – “Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life.”
One important thing: watch judgments – as without opposites we would not be – can’t have short without tall, high – low etc.
I want to be only kind and positive.
I want to serve humanity and help animals.
Alvin is on my lap. I love to cuddle with him.
Today is a great day.
We are safe, warm, happy, kind, grateful and alive.
I am a money magnet.
Money comes to me easily and effortlessly.
Thank you for this great life, and this wonderful day.
Signed with a “THANK YOU” and a “HEART.”
I guess this sums up my thoughts and feelings of late.
Sometimes we just run into a roadblock that keeps us from doing what we love.
I am happy to report that I am back.
It doesn’t matter if one person or five hundred people read my blog.
It only matters that I love to write it.
This New Year I want to add more to my blog ….. I did start way back when but got caught up with work ….
Photos are nice.
I need to share some of this past year.

Well it is time to go and take down the Christmas Tree.
I usually keep it up for New Year’s Eve but then I was thinking about time over the next few days … figured better to take it down now.
Then I can get the house back to norm.
The sign says it all ….. Halloween Day at the Office

Okay time to go ….. I just could not help myself sharing more photos.
Have a great New Year’s EVE.
If you drink do not drive.
If you drive do not drink.
If you drink stay at home.
If you are out ….. pack a toothbrush and spend the night.
Happy New Year.
I wish only good things for everyone.
Me and Alvin wish you all good health, great joy, much love and laughter and abundance.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
We will be snuggling on the sofa and watching movies tonight.
Perhaps having some Bailey’s and coffee as I bought some for Christmas and have not cracked the bottle yet.
Okay I am signing off for now.
Special Hello to: every living being on the planet …. our hope is that you are all safe and warm.
Always, Carol and Alvin
