I hope something beautiful happens to you to-day---

Good morning--To-day is Saturday,  October 17th---still very dark outside--Lopez and I are up--Sushi also, but I think she is hiding in the closet upstairs--away from Lopez--I must get that heater going a bit more in here--sill seems a tad cool--and, the washer is on--So much to do every morning--and--the flu---  that I am fighting---  Well, it seems better--not coughing up so much mucous----I hope that none of you get it.

                            So, words I wish I had written--

#1.Smile

#2.If nothing went wrong, life would be pretty boring.

#3.He climbs highest who helps another up.

#4.The secret to staying younger is living honestly, eating slowly, and             just not thinking about your age. (Lucille Ball)

#5. Being alive is its own reward.

Good Morning!

 Good Morning -It is Friday, October 16th--just daylight-- and raining. Lopez  has not been walked outside yet--which means--"a walk in the rain"--sooner than later.--The wash has been in the washer AND Dryer----So far this morning , I think I m getting over that flu--which was terrible--I hope that none of you got it--  Try to stay far away from people coughing-- It seems to be going around here----Thank goodness for a Doctor  helping me out  with a few meds--So, I shall return--Lopez needs to go out--Below--There he is--  waiting-

Back-- and --He did his business--VERY cool out there--a 'Fall mix"----rain showers changing over to snow showers-- I hear the weather man saying on TV---Poor wee Lopez,  did not appreciate the raincoat I had put him in---At least it is daylight now----This flu bug I seem to be suffering from is better-not  good--but better--must be the Z-pack I was given--which is helping.--not coughing  as much!

 

                     So-Words I wish I had written--

#1.Fix the mind first and the body second.

#2.The more you eat, the more you want.

#3.If you want to make a  parent proud, compliment his child.

#4.Want what you can have.

#5.It is harder than we remember to be a child.

                Time to get on with the day--I see sunshine out there--Remember  how special your children are-Tell them that! and take time to walk your pets---talk to them--- No-one else will!--Tell your husband that you thank him for being your husband--Remember the good decisions you both have made--Enjoy the day because today

only comes once--Don't do anything that conflicts with common sense--OH---- AND---- BIG HUGS TO  YOU-    Life can be beautiful----

          

     

Don't be the same. Be better.

 Good Morning--To-day (I think) is Thursday, October the 13th--It is dark as the Ace of Spades outside-(Mom's expression)-- The dryer  is going , in the kitchen--Lopez  not up yet--must go get him--I was up earlier to turn the heat up--I did get to my Doctor yesterday, who did give me some meds---I think I am sorta better--not sure yet--It certainly is a bad bug--

I just walked Lopez around the block--He did his business--but his feet I think were quite cold when he came back in--He keeps licking them. And yes, it does feel cold out there-- 

I did get to see my Doctor yesterday--He put me on a Z-pack--I sure miss  Dr Fred  now--He used to  help me out when I got sick--

                    So--Words I wish I had written--

#1. A good nights sleep can cure many an ill.

#2.Some people never learn.

#3.Stolen kisses are the best.

#4.Actions, not words.

#5.Don't do anything that conflicts with common sense.

                                        more Grandkids--

Good Morning--It is Wednesday, Oct. 14th--dark--and cold--I have the wee fire stove on-- so it should warm up inside here-soon, I hope!---and I am sick--very sick--cannot breathe as some horrible virus is in my chest---I have a Dt's appointment next month, but I feel I might be a "goner"by then-- This horrible virus , I am afraid has settled in my chest---coughing up crud---

Anyway, Lopez and I are up--the dryer is jiggling up the wash--so, it is a new day, whether we are ready or not--

                            Words I wish I had written--

#1. Each day set aside some time for a little fun.

#2.When you are angry, count to ten.

#3.To live our dreams, we must wake up.

#4.Today is not any other day.

I do hope that your day---to-day--goes well--It will if you decide it will! Try to smile when everything goes wrong--Mom used to say, "Patience is a virtue, possess it if you can, it's often found in women, but, never in a man!"   

Remember to show your children that you love them to the moon and back.---Walk the dog--and tell that dog how good he or she is--and send the husband off into the world with a huge  big hug----oh--That reminds me--  Hugs to you too!

Family, where life begins and love never ends,

Good Morning--To-day is Monday, October the  12th--dark--and quite cold on the main level of my tiny house--I have the tiny fireplace on so this place will warm up quickly. The wash is in and ready to  start--And--the big bed must be changed to-day--and Lopez walked--It is still very dark outside--

Thanksgiving day yesterday was wonderful-We all were at Son#1 's restaurant for a turkey feast--and Son #4's wife and  even him, dropped in here, and their dog, in my tiny house for a visit---I loved having them over--

                                    Words I wish I had written--

#1.Believe in dreams-

#2.Rain never melted anyone.

#3.A busy life has no time for quarrels.

#4.The meaning of life is to find meaning.

#5. Practice asking for help.
