Don't be the same. Be better.


 Good Morning! To-day is Thursday, October the 8th--very dark outside and feels cold!-- The wash is done and must be put into the dryer--Lopez and I are up and at-er here--(well-sorta up- I do not really feel awake yet)---Sushi--lucky her--is still asleep on my bed.

Lopez has an appointment  at the groomers this AM--He needs a bath--badly----so much to do every morning-- Well--both animals are fed finally--and my 367 morning pills are laid out --- and it is still dark outside--
                            Words I wish I had written--
                         #1.Stay faithful to yourself-
                        #2.Two captains will sink a ship--
                        #3.Do nothing in malice.
                        #4.Your happiness is the result of your own effort.
                        #5.Think of what you have instead of what you want.

                            and---Blasts From The Past--
            Below--  That guy I married, with Andrew and Tim
                                        Sophia and her Dad

                        Can you guess who these people are-above?
                    Below--Sophia and Jacob, with Fred and I
                                        
                                    Julie with Son #3 -Phil
so, "another day, another dollar-"-Mom used to say that--Time to get on with your day--to enjoy this day--Even if you do something ridiculous, outrageous, or stupid, to-day, do it with enthusiasm--Tell your children how special they are--that you love them to the moon and back--talk to your pets-- wrap your arms around them--and --tell your husband how special he is--oh--------and BIG HUGE  HUGS TO YOU ALL!

  2. Good Thursday Morning!

    Ah, Lopez is getting a bath. How does he do with that? I have had some dogs who were ok with it and others not so much. I have never used a groomer though. I always did it myself. When we had our Great Dane, we had to bath her outside because she was so big. And that meant she didn't have to get a bath in the winter, which I am sure she appreciated. LOL.

    It's supposed to hit 80F today so we shall see. It's sunny though and I love that.
    Enjoyed the pics and the words of wisdom.

    Have a great day, Lynda!
    Hugs,
    Jackie

  3. We are having a warm October here in the Midwest! Which means I still have to cut all that grass! But pool is closed so at least I don't have to take care of it everyday! I am still tired after my trip out of the country! I am slowly getting back into my routines. I especially missed doing yoga! I am surprised that Sushi sleeps later than you! My cats want their breakfast everyday at about 6:30 am and if I do not wake up, they climb on me! And Marley even gently puts his paw on my face! They are a pain - but I do love them dearly!

  4. Good morning, sis.

    Interesting...the post is for Thursday, but at the top of the screen it says you did it Wednesday!

    I got up a bit early today, but Lucky is back asleep already. It's a bit cooler today. Maybe he wanted to get warmer than his fur coat lets him be today.

    Sophia and her dad look like they're at a father-daughter dance. And you with Fred, Sophia and Jacob are in 2 photos!

    I plan to get more done today. Didn't do quite as much as I planned yesteray. That happens alot. I kinda alternate chores with relaxation and fun (like commenting on your blog or playing a game on the pc or my kindle) and I always have music to sing along with.

    You didn't mention any plans, but you've already got some laundry done. Good for you.

    My ex used to say "Another day. Another fifty cents."

    Let's all make today a happy day...think happy thoughts, etc. We both believe in that. I'll return later. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

  5. Hugs to you Lynda.You are definitely up and at-er this morning. It sounds as if you're brimming with energy. If I remember correctly, Lopez does not like going to the groomer, so good luck with that. Today I do grocery shopping and I'll see how much items have gone up since last week. Gas if $6.00, and I'll bet you can guess who is responsible for the high prices. I hope your day goes well. I'm excited because our temperatures are finally going down.

  6. Hi Lynda, it's Kathy. I feel like my days are getting busier and busier but I'm getting less done! I hope you've had a good day. Tom and I cleaned the house today - I've been putting it off too long. And one of these days I need to brush Daisy. She hates it so I don't do it as often as I should. We are having such a stretch of warm weather - it's nice to not have to rely on the heat. I'll check in early tomorrow!
