Cherish the DAY!

~ Our postal carrier handed me our mail the other day,

with a cheerful smile; remarking,

"The best part of this day was waking up".

I wasn't sure how to take that remark at first.

After a few moments, I replied,

" I guess if we do wake up in the morning,

we should feel very blessed".

He agreed, & drove off with a smile.

Yes, we all need to realize that even the most natural

of every day events

are gifts in our fortunate lives.

Simply, if you don't wake up...nothing else matters.

So, be thankful and greet each sunrise with a smile.

Be happy & feel privledged to have the chance

to Cherish another DAY!

fall back

We turned our clocks back on Sunday.
This time change always seems like a
symbolic end of playful sunny days.
A turn to cooler SPARKLES of the year…
A welcome extra hour of sleep.

A note to my Girls ~ I do believe, in my heart,

that there are always more HAPPY people

than unhappy people.

You just have to know where to look.

Super Summer Splash

With a late summer heat wave,

the young ones enjoyed a surprise soak & splash

play date with their “Popi”.

No, he’s not wearing a pink tee...

it’s just his hard working contractor’s tan line.

The kids had such a blast; they were so happy

that he joined them in the jacuzzi. Perfect .

+ Getting tired of the shovel after shovel
of team spain, the B.M. brains.
More proof that racial profiling
is target-generated,
not unjustly manufactured.
+ Freaks who call the wrong number,
but continue to call you,
over & over…especially late at night…
particularly from a prison in Alabama. Idiot.
+ Jerks that ask me which one
of my twins I like best.
Take your head out of your oshiri
before you talk to me again.
+ The mouthy know-it-all, who can’t help
blurting out an unwanted opinion,
& disrupts or destroys any conversation.
Shut Up.
+ The neighbor’s scruffy dog yapping
ALL NIGHT LONG.
+ The other neighbor’s roosters crowing
at 3 A.M.
+ The neighbors-in-foreclosure-who bailed,
leaving starving pets behind.

Hmmmm, despite all the annoying freak shows,

we’ve made it through another wacky week;

everyone is healthy & happy.

I can count my Blessings.
