What is that old adage . . . 'Patience is a virtue, possess it if you can, seldom in a woman, never in a man.'  or another about . . . 'try, try, try again . . .'   now if we would only read the directions!!!

Remind me not to buy this brand.

My oh my, I had no idea.    I  just thought folks had a 'short' temper because they valued their own opinion over others. 

I know how this feels as I haven't had my coffee yet.  I only got up once in the night, went back to sleep and am just getting up.  The coffee is brewing and I'm ready, one sip and my attitude will change.

So hopefully you have had your coffee or latte or morning drink and are up and about filled with the joy that today is Thursday already.   This has been a fast week for me as I have enjoyed the company of two daughters.   My house is back to quiet and the bed has been stripped and the clean sheets are on, all ready for new company.    I have three coming in September so am looking forward to some more fun.  

I did read to Russell yesterday and was sad to hear he had been rushed to the hospital the night before.  It was an angina attack which is not good as it shows he is failing.   I called before going over to Macklyn House and was told he was looking forward to his read.    I brought along one of my picture poetry books and he really enjoyed it.   He had been to most of the places I had written about and it made for some memories and a few tears.   He wants to travel but he is in no condition to travel.   He wants to be able to do all the things he used to do but ninety-five doesn't allow such privileges.    I know the feelings and I can sympathize but that 'acceptance' is the hardest part of life.   Once we get there all is well and we adjust our attitude and get on with life.    Know your today is important and that it is something you need to think about.  Don't waste your seconds, do the things closest to your heart and enjoy life as it comes.   Go when you really have the desire as later you will be unable to .   Seize the moment, isn't that another old adage?  I think so.    Put on your sun bonnet, light up the world with your smile, hold open those arms and walk into a hug or two today and make your plans and stick with them.     What's that other old adage . . . 'don't put off today what you can do as tomorrow may never come' . . . hopefully that will not come about and you will have a thousand tomorrows to fill up with the joy of living.   Go live a little.  Hugs to all.
