BE THE PERSON YOUR DOG THINKS YOU ARE-

                                                    Good Morning--It is Wednesday, March 25th---

I am late posting--mainly because of yesterday--my  trip to Sudbury with Son #1--where I saw the Eye specialist who said my eyesight was perfect--  in fact told me I did not need glasses--That was after quite a bit of testing----but--  I like my glasses--like the tint on them which protects my eyes from the sun--so, of course I ordered new frames--with new lenses--which will take a few weeks to come in .---and to-morrow, I am supposed to see -my new Dr., --(who seems to be kind of making  my life difficult right now)--so---  I guess I have to just jump a few more hoops----memory tests etc--which are thrown at one, as one ages--That reminds me---

Words I wish I had written--#1. Beat failure with courage.

                                               #2, There is always a way.

                                               #3.See problems as teachers and opportunities for growth.

But---  I really want to yell and scream-"I CAN"---Ignoring facts does not change facts- There is always a way-----and everybody could be wrong about what is right for you--

                                        Life goes on--and somehow, we adapt--

one Christmas long ago

So, remember how short time is, but, remember to live--that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel--and mistakes are opportunities to learn--and sometimes help comes from the strangest source--

Never put off saying, "I love you!"

It is good to be back--I hope your day is fabulous!

 

My wish for you..

To-day son#1 is driving me to Sudbury-- to see an  eye specialist-so,  I am up late here, typing you all a message-- why I am not on here --till the evening----- This eye Doctor is supposed to send my eye results to my own Doctor in Elliot Lake. Hopefully then, hopefully he  should  see that my eye sight is okay and not revoke my Drivers licence. Lordy Be!!-----Life is certainly difficult once one gets"older than old"! - 

                                  Wise thoughts--that I am thinking--(LOL)                                         

#1. Some reasons are hard to understand.

#2.Put your mind in gear before you put your tongue in action

#3.Never hate the truth--

Son#2 not on that flight--

No Blog this AM--  Sun#2 , and his wife, were not on that flight this AM that crashed--He spoke always of not liking to fly into that airport--always said it was too busy--Lynda------So sorry this happened-- the poor pilots--  very fortunate there was no fire-Lynda

Appreciate Your Blessings

I hope your day is going well-- Yesterday, Son#1  came into town and drove me out to his house for supper--We had a delicious hot dog plus left over Chinese Food--drove back here in a snow storm--It helps so very much, to get out and be with family, when you live alone--I appreciated the invite so much! --Also , my Grandson, Ethan,  picked me up at the grocery store in the morning and drove me home here---groceries and all---That was such a pleasant surprise!--He said he would be here  this  AM., to shovel the driveway--so, it seems everyone is helping "Gramma"--

I must tell you also that the money spent on the piano , has made that piano sound like Heaven--

So, I hope this morning, you will keep quality in your life to-day--If you live fearing death, then you do not live---Remember --Busy people have more fun-- and if at first you don't succeed, you are about average.

                                            Get out there and enjoy the day!

Believe in yourself-

To-Day is Saturday,  March 21st--7-20am--a bit daylight----Sushi, Lopez, and I, are up--The wash is now in the dryer--chugging away--Lopez will have to go out soon-- I have taken my 110 pills--(Well, it seems that way--hard to swallow them without choking)---

So, are you happy  this AM?--Try to enjoy the life we are given--you know, as we age, we must get wiser--I hope!

Yesterday, Frances, the piano tuner,  was here - He worked on restoring the piano---  He put a new water system on it--somehow reattached all the piano keys which had become loose, I guess from all the moves-- It sounds so lovely now--like new -really! 

Now I must begin to practice daily--I will have to find a piano teacher--then the time to practice--I really am excited to get back to playing!

Above -another family picture-must've been a Birthday celebration

I hope that you have a good day--Sometimes one must remind ourselves that we  should enjoy each day--It would be nice to see some green grass around here, but, one day--one day, the snow will melt-- and it will be summer--I hope!

\Here are some wise words---that  might be good to think about--

        #1.Time avenges all wrongs

#2.Think big thoughts

                                                      #3 Live with grace and intelligence, bravery and mercy

I hope your day is great--Dream big, Help others as they help you---and visualize better days ahead--

Remember, most of the things you worry about never happen--

Just an added thought below--reminding us to believe in our convictions--

Survive now_Cry Later---

a busy morning  
Good Morning--It is Friday----March 20th--Frances, the Piano tuner is coming this afternoon--Remember him?? The poor piano did not like  the move--Pianos do not enjoy being moved--  so-it desperately needs a tuning--He said he will be in this area this afternoon, so will come to tune it.--This morning, Dave is picking me up--for breakfast--AND--- GUESS WHAT?---There is more snow outside---  LORDY BE!  AND IT WAS ALL CLEANED UP LAST NIGHT_(_My snow boys were here)--and now there is more--looks like about 6 more inches--to fall on  what seems like tons and tons of deep snow--

            Man oh man---  We certainly need SPRING in this area-----More shovelling to do--

I shall return--I must move the clothes --the dryer is waiting--Also, the heat needs to be turned up---still winter outside--"Never give up, for sure"-- Also, Son# 2 is winging his way back to Canada from Britain--Pilots  get up early--He has already called--He said this morning to me---"Wake-y Wake-y Mom--Rise and Shine"-----Time means nothing to Pilots-

Wise Words I wish I'd Written--  

#1Dream big

                                  #2.Don't be Afraid to ask for help

                                                                #3. Love begins in the eyes , then quickly goes to the heart, and only sometimes ends up in the brain

And my most favourite part--Blasts from the Part

Fred---loving the newspaper

Son #2 --the Pilot with Hannah his daughter
So, Dave just called-- will not be coming early--maybe even 12 noon--as the plows have not been around and the snow is deep--Lordy Be! We do need Spring!

So I must get on with the day--Remember to be  kind  to all to-day--Even the darkest cloud has a silver lining--so hang in there!b

Good Day to all you sexy Grandmothers!

This is the last full day of winter!

Thursday, March 19th-- and we have more snow---OHhhhhh  Nooooooo!!!---  The shovel boys will not get here till after supper too-I will have to wade thru the snowy mess! 

Guess what?--The wash is not in yet--I must get it in --Lopez, Sushi and I are up here--feels cold in here--I must turn up that small furnace--another late   "going to bed"  last night as  it was another celebration at Son#1's restaurant--his grand daughter's Birthday --the baby was  there with her Mom--and here I am with--the baby--Whatta sweet child!

                                                I shall return---  Give me an hour--

The washer  is now chugging away-- I took the million and one, pills--I have Sushi's breakfast ready to run upstairs--and-- guess what?--a new day has begun--and----it sure does not look like spring outside--the snow looks quite deep--

So, it is a new day-- a chance to try to get it right--another day to try to enjoy the life you are given --to respond to rudeness with kindness , only your mind can make things impossible--and set aside quiet time every day.

So--Are you happy and you know it?---wise words I wish I could remember- 

                                         #1. A wise person knows that she cannot know everything

#2.Go with your gut feelings--

                                                            #3. Getting older and living for a long time, are two different things-

Time to say good morning, again , to you--and time to get on here with the day-

 Try to be a tad wild and sexy--to-day----as Grandmothers--should be!
