Friday All Day

A lovely picture of one of our mountains.  The clouds hover over the top making it look like a volcano ready to erupt.   See that face to the right of the mountain;   finally we get a look at the 'old man of the mountain' . . . looks a bit scary

Here we have a new Friday, dark out there this time of the morning.   No activity, quiet prevails and that isn't all bad.   Of course, it is only a little after six a.m. and I've been sitting here playing with pictures and enjoying some memories the faces and places bring back for the last hour or two. . . so, I'm an early riser, but . . . that doesn't mean I have a brain that wakes up filled with words to share.  Some mornings the words just don't want to free themselves from the brain; other mornings they spill out so fast it is scary.    Today is a day they don't want to spill period....there is little or no news to share.   The 'inmates' of our illustrious Ridgemont Apartments are being quiet, but then I haven't been around much for the last day or two as daughter Christine has been on a mission or two and included me in her rides out.    She had a meeting in a town near the casino and dropped me off to play awhile.  It was fun but management has decided to do away with the keno machines and it was sad to find them gone.   I could care less about the other slots as they are not interactive;  at least with the keno you get to choose different sets of numbers and have a chance for a small win or two to keep playing.   Maybe some new and different keno machines will come out.   Time will tell.

Here at Ridgemont I had drop in company which I enjoy.  Doris had been making her breakfast rolls so came in with a plate full for me and some to share with my girls.   Ron had stopped in to show me a puzzle on his little tiny computerized hand computer.  It was an impossible one with same color and shade so it was going to take a lot of time to get that little puzzle finished.   Doris told him to stop by on his way to his place and she would give him a couple of breakfast rolls.   That lady is a marvel, almost one hundred and has so much energy and such a kind and loving soul, we should use her as the emblem of great ageing.    What an example she is.

So today, check around and see who in your world is loving and giving and take time to appreciate them.   There is nothing better than to be in that bright light of sunshine emanating from a loving person who takes the time and energy to give of themselves to make each of us feel important and loved.    So copy and be an example of love today.    You are so capable and willing when you open up and share YOU with those you love and like, that your world becomes lighter and brighter.   So today you have a good deed to do and a bit of sharing and caring to do.  Get busy , don't let time just sit there, make it useful and open up those arms and share a hug or two.   Think of the calories you can use up and how much lighter you will be at the end of this day.   Go...hug a lot.   Hugs to all.
