Monday Morning Glory

Monday Morning Glory!
Wow, a week of sunshine pretty much wipes out the chill in the air. I couldn’t yet feel the warmth of the sun on our morning walk with the breeze, that is definitely here but just knowing that the sun is here all week is good enough.
We wrapped up the weekend with a yummy lunch out with my sister. And guess who visited us? Why yes, Vincent came over with his mom and dad of course. Oh the boys had quite a lot of barking to do, after all this was their first meeting.
We went on several walks and I can’t wait until they get to have more visits and playtime. In time they will become best buddies!
Eddie is having his surgery later this week so he will be convalescing at home but soon he will get to go to the park for a real good time.
Last nite he pretty much conked out after his dinner. Usually during my shower time, he stays close but other than stretching out more on the sofa, he didn’t really budge. And I saw a picture of Vincent and once he ate his dinner, he was out too!
Big day for the boys.
Well, I guess I was tuckered out too because it was an early bedtime for us and a later rise time this morning. But then nothing like a morning walk to snap one awake!

What is it about getting older; I mean I actually love it. I get to delve into myself and bathe in the  wonderful unapologetic being that I am!
Have there been hard times; way too many. And I know life will always have them. So that’s why it’s super important to enjoy life to the fullness.
And maybe others don’t understand, that’s okay. Getting older is most definitely a privilege and I will not take it for granted.
I have had profound awakening moments in my life and yeah, usually they arrive after a major change in my life has occurred. And not all the changes were bad. It just created a shift. It allowed me to refocus on what I wanted and needed. Once I unloaded so much stuff; physical and mentally, my life shifted.
True that I have always danced to a different beat than most, wore my ‘rosé’ color glasses at times and had a strong sense of self, let’s face it …… it can be quite scary at times when you are going through a rough patch no matter who you are.
But once I can clear my mind and remember my purpose …… well then, all the strength, determination and abundance of faith will lead me.

I have a promise to myself that I will talk less and pray more.
And fill my mind, heart and our home with joy, peace and love.
No admittance for anything else!
Monday Morning Glory, all day long!
Namasté.
