Good Morning ALL! I hope this finds you well. Both Alvin and I are safe and warm this Tuesday morning.
STORM
The wind is howling
Swirling the snow that has fallen.
Covering the bare sidewalk, deck and driveway that I shovelled only a few hours ago.
I wish that I was still curled up on the sofa with Alvin covered under our red cozy blanket.
But work calls my name.
I am grateful that on this cold stormy November morn,
That I am able to work from the comfort of my home.
I remember days gone by where I would be out shovelling in the wind and snow,
As I readied for work.
Worrying about the roads!
So happy that today I am at home.
Life has a way of changing things up every once in awhile.
During this storm, on this day, I am home.
Grateful as I type these words.
Listening to the wind howl through the vents.
Taking it’s revenge on us.
For what?
Who knows.
It is the wind, after all.
Does it need a reason?
I don’t think so.
Time for coffee
Time to take Alvin outside to the deck,
Where earlier he did not know where to go.
Shovel the snow from the doorway once again.
Happy to be home.
Happy to be home.
Safe and sound and warm.

Stay safe and warm everyone.
Continuing to live this life with kindness, respect, compassion, patience, love, laughter and gratitude.
Always, Carol & Alvin
