UKIYO Thursday
That –  let’s enjoy the sunrise, sip hot coffee and give thanks for another glorious day, kind of feeling when you wake up. Of course having my little Eddie right next to me all thru the night and seeing his big brown beautiful eyes –  helps!
Oh yeah, taking our first walk without another soul around is super nice too. Believe it or not there was a slight cool breeze on this 79 degree 6:30 am morning. The heat has definitely made herself at home here. But, hey it’s almost the end of July in Texas.
Our daily walks are less often for sure.
It’s quite nice when you get to spend the whole day inside with your bestie!
We did not take our afternoon nap yesterday (well I did not) since I was out and about but you can bet one is definitely happening today. Eddie sleeps a lot so I usually join him in an afternoon snooze. Oh, the blessings of being retired!
There is nothing more satisfying than being able to surround yourself with the things that make you smile and live a good life.
Staying home, watching some Netflix or the Rangers game, cooking, napping, taking occasional walks and most definitely prayer time. Things that never get old or boring.
This week was filled with a day for a pedi and another day for a mani! I love trying out new colors! Plus it’s so ptretty.
The summer is coming along nicely. Soon we will be making our summer end with a bang!
Oh, I can’t count the number of hours I spend getting ready!
I even sometimes dream about it!
Believe me, I most definitely count my blessings and give thanks.
➕
My days are filled with so much joy that I never quite imagined. But then how could I have known.
I really do live in the present. Of course I think of the past and am sometimes amazed I experienced so much. I cherish the memories but mostly try to stay in the Now. After all, this is where I currently live. And yeah, I think about the future, plan for it but know enough to not let go of the present.
My ‘rose colored’ glasses remain a favorite treasure, for sure!
Everyone encounters difficult times, especially if you are blessed to live a long life. I certainly don’t want to be the ‘poster’ child of the difficult times.
Oh no, life is too short.
I want to live a good, healthy and happy life.
If I could bottle up my elixir, I most certainly would.
Come to think of it, I better get to filling up my jar, one can never have enough!
So yeah, it’s a UKIYO kind of Thursday!
I may just have to ‘pinch’ myself.
So don’t let the busyness of the world cause you to worry. Take one day, one hour, one moment  and make it count. Make it your b*’^§~h for the day, adjust your crown and own it!
Don’t let anyone else control your thoughts or attitude. They are yours. Guard them against the enemy. The enemy is quite sneaky. He comes disguised. He comes to destroy your joy.
And look, if this little old’er woman can fight him, well so can you.
Remember whose daughter or son you are from!
Okay, this might be a little heavy for some of you, but never underestimate the power of having the Holy Spirit inside of you.
I don’t, I won’t.
It’s UKIYO Thursday!
Make it count.
Namasté.
