Please forgive me for not visiting your blog today. It's a sad day for me as I lost my best friend, Sam Schnauzer, today.  He was not recovering from the injuries received when another dog attacked him and I had to have him put to sleep.

One Quiet Moment

I discovered I always have choices and sometimes it's only a choice of attitude. 
 Judith M. Knowlton

So How's Your Day Going???


I had this scheduled a couple of days ago -- before the latest tragedy, and perhaps I should have posted something less silly, but in spite of everything these days, we can't forget to smile, to find SOMETHING that we can smile about -- even if it's a silly cat or a group of silly cats. If we get to a point where we can find nothing to make us smile even a little, then what hope do we have??
This

is how I heard YOUR day was going....
First

you had trouble getting out of bed

You

had a stiff neck

Your

new diet really doesn't seem to be working out

You

pulled a muscle when you tried to exercise

You

keep losing things

You

got caught in the rain at lunchtime

Then

the lunch you had didn't seem to agree with you

You

feel trapped

Uninvited

guests showed up at dinnertime

On

top of that you think you're coming down with

the flu

And

finally, you're alone in the house at night when

you think you hear a noise in the basement

MAYBE

TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER!!
Thought

for the Day

Handle

every stressful
situation like a
dog.
If you can't eat it or play with
it,
Just pee on it and walk away.


*******************************************************************************


RELAX!!!

Have a fabulous
STRESS

FREE Day!

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
