A NEW ATTITUDE TYPE OF DAY_

Good Morning-- It  is Thursday, April the 9th--and it is quarter to 9am--Lopez has been out--(We walked around the block--AND HE DID HIS BUSINESS)---And guess what?--The wash is done~~~~~WooWoo!!! And Ethan, Son#4's son, will stop in here at 1-30pm--  so nice--just to say hello to his Gramma--  Yes, get out there and  face this day, if you already have not-

                                -It's a "NEW ATTITUDE" type of day!!!

                            Lots of wise words I wish I had written -below-

                #1. If you have a loving family, it is amazing what you can do without.

                #2.Fall seven timers--stand up eight!

                #3. Enjoy the life you are given

                #4. You can't have everything-Where would you put it?

           

 AND--The blasts from the past remind me, of what I am thankful for--

            above--=Allison with Tyson--her dog who is now in Heaven with her Dad 

                        and below--Son#2 with his Dad--the man that I married-

Remember the place below?

 

and a fall day in the North

The man that I married, Me and son#4's daughter, Andie

So--Time to get off of here-- Make your day special--NO CRYING__Everything usually works out--Listen to your feelings----and-----Always look for that silver lining--and--Enjoy the life you are living, and don't be afraid of to-morrow.

 

Everyday can be Joyful--

 Good Morning--Wednesday, April the 8th--overcast--NOT SNOWING--almost 7-30am--The washer is chugging away here and Lopez, Sushi, and I, are up--not too much "at-er"--but--- we are trying-                                    -trying to do hard things--

    It is not raining-- nor snowing--yet----(hope  it doesn't)-but overcast-

Yesterday I tried to get an appointment with my Doctor-I was told I could get in to see him, in June--3 months away-- seems like a long time to wait--I asked Son#3 what people do if it is an emergency-- (which it is not)-but--what if it was?-

-He replied, "Well, people go to Emerg at the hospital---- Life sure isn't the way it used to be , is it??--  Really, nothing is the same as it "used to be"--I guess the key is, "STAY HEALTHY", so one does not need to see a Doctor--I wonder--Is it the same in your part of the world??--Is there a Doctor shortage?

                                So many wise words  that I wish I had written-

                                    -#1. Exercise instead of worry

                                     #2.Clearly assess your strengths and weaknesses

                                    #3.Offer hope, always

                                        Blasts from the past--below---

                            Son#2 ----probably in England

I hope that your day is special--  I hope that you make it that way! Life is what you make it----love the one you're with--Kiss and make up--Keep breathing-- Try to find joy in everyday--and-----

Enjoy to-day__make it fabulous!

Never neglect older people-

--late blogging--AGAIN---but---  I am finally here--- had to pick up my weeks meds from the pharmacy--Ethan (the Grandson who is now driving,) went with me to the blood Lab --then came with  me to the pharmacy to get the meds----and then I shovelled a path to the neighbour's  house so the mail Lady does not have to walk in and out the driveway--can cut across the lawn in front of the house--always lots to do---

It is a holiday here in Canada---to-day---  so the clinic is not open--but the Lab is, so I could just run up the 49 steps to the Lab----It was not busy, which ment --"No Waiting""--nice!-and in between all the other stuff, of course the washer was on--then done and the dryer also--and Lopez had a wee walk outside--A woman's work is never done--

AND--we still have snow--falling lightly from the sky--and--this is APRIL---a very late Spring in this part of the world--                                      Blasts from the Past

Below, Ethan, Son#2, with Hannah, his daughter -me--and of course, the man that I married!

        and Gerrard (blond)-Matt's dog,  and Tyson (black)----Allison's dog--now deceased

#2. Your thoughts affect your health

            #3.Laugh at life more than you cry about it.

A Short blog----  Is it better than no blog?--  (my words!--LOL)

So I am off of here--In Canada , this is known as "Easter Monday"--a holiday--I hope that you all

cherish leisure---enjoy to-day--Do not let the sun go down on a quarrel--and never neglect older people--a lot of advice from 'Words of wisdom'--Don't forget to tell people how much you love them--

                                             

 

Happy Easter!

 Good morning on this Easter Sunday--darkish---wet out there--I could hear rain falling in the night--EASTER SUNDAY 2026---April the 5th----The wash is done and in the dryer--  Lopez is down here asleep on the leather chair-(which he thinks is his bed--pretty high class dog bed --LOL)--

So below--is me----  holding Charlee, Son#1's wee girl, with Ethan beside me , who is Son #4's son, and who likes to drive Gramma all over (that is me----"Gramma"-and Emma and Ava -Son #3's girls--both in University now)- Funny--It just seems like yesterday that picture was taken--

                                                        such lovely memories--

So, where on earth was I yesterday??--You know, there are days that  I just cannot hold things together--but, by the days end, the day did turn out just fine!---Time avenges all wrongs--and to-day is a new day--I must remember that there is always more to life than what you see--and I must think big thoughts--so so much to learn isn't there, everyday.

Wise words---  always deep thoughts--positive thoughts--#1. Be Humble

#2.When in doubt, mumble and -------#3.train yourself to have better habits

So, ever onward here--I missed you  all yesterday-----It is EASTER___Put on that Easter Bonnet, and get out there to face the day--the world-----and celebrate life----We are alive---

Good day! It is Friday, April the 3rd--almost 10am--The washer is finished--and the dryer is  done also--waiting for me to fold the clothes--  Lopez and I have walked around the block--trying to avoid the ice--  and the cleaning lady is here now--  seems like a lot of  crazy  emails on here-scams maybe??---who knows--Dave will be here in an hour--and we are heading out for brunch--

And the big news is, Yes  I shall be moving--  in August--to an all inclusive place--not here  in Elliot lake--but closer to where Matt lives--and I will not be leaving here for a few months--I WILL NOT TAKE  MY CAR---  LOL--I will not need it there--Everything will be done for me--meals etc--I think that will be a lot less trouble--, that is to-day's news -OH--and ---BE STRONG TO_DAY__-

So, yesterday  Son#1's wife, and I went to the  place where they give driving tests--The man working there was ever so nice--told me that I must get my Dr. and soon too, to inform the Ministry of all the moves I have had--Three moves in a short space of time, plus my husband dying--and as he said, that would make anyone lose their memory--and my Dr should inform the ministry--  He really was a good man-- But, nothing is happening ---  still!---
