Word

Ha,ha,  Goes without saying!!  Pat and I had a conversation about this very subject recently...best to think before we speak....keeps us out of trouble.

Sound advice this morning.   We all make mistakes, it goes with living as we try to put one foot before the other and do our best.    Some of our days are dark and dreary, but then we do have those sunshine days and we shine.

Words to live by as we live and learn from our first days to our last.    We never give up, we just keep struggling along gaining resolve and strength as we go.  

It is so nice to have daughter Christine back from her business trip and listen to her tales of her trip to Denver, Colorado.  She used to live there at one time, so she may have traveled down memory lane for a bit.    She was satisfied with the outcome of the trip;  business as usual, lots to learn about as those in charge listed the oncoming changes for the coming business year.    She met a few of the new hires and missed a few old timers who went into retirement.   Working from home she hears voices but not faces so when the meetings are called and they get together, she can finally put a face with the voice.    She is getting nearer to retirement age, but I don't think she is thinking along those lines.  She loves what she does and she does a great job so I gather there is no changes in sight for this year.     Meanwhile Pat did a great job of taking care of the two cats who think they should be treated like royalty.    She takes Emma along so they wouldn't think of misbehaving.    

Here at Ridgemont it was quiet.   The puzzle is coming along slowly, almost finished but not quite.  The pieces are there but illusive as the background is very dark green and all very similar shapes.   It will be done before long and I am thinking of giving puzzles a rest for a bit.   I think I would like to enjoy my table top for a bit.    I say that now, but once the puzzle is finished then I get to thinking that new one waiting to be done should get started...not next week or next month but right now...um...says a lot for my waiting patiently to start a new one later.....well, tomorrow is later..smile.

Holiday time is coming up fast.   The annual dinner our manager puts on is coming up and is always well done.  Her family comes in to help her and her husband put on a holiday feast for all of us.   It is hard to believe that the holidays are creeping up on us.  Daylight savings time this weekend..Turn the clocks back...Fall back...a good way to remember.    We regain that hour we lost, seems silly, to me to change the time around .  It just confuses my body for a day or two.    I'd say leave our time alone and just enjoy it as it is.    Winter days are shorter and that is fine with me.

I opened the blinds and it is pitch black out there;  well, it is five seventeen a.m. so it is suppose to be dark and quiet.    No one about.   The building across the way is dark with the exception of the entrance light.  Everyone is sleeping in...something I just don't do , not from choice, just the way it is.  I don't seem to require a lot of sleep and never have.   I wouldn't know what to do if I had eight full hours, probably be half baked all day.   I am off to hunker down in my chair where I do some of my best snoozing.   I will turn the TV on and see what is going on out there in the big world.   

So today be good, be kind, be gentle and share a hug or two with those you like and love.   Remember to do at least one good deed today;  sharing is caring, you know that.   A kind word, a good deed does wonders for a 'hurting' soul.    Be generous . . Be YOU!! Hugs to all.
