Hey there, beautiful people! Hope you’re all enjoying this lovely Spring day, and focusing on the positivity and joyful vibes God has blessed you with.
Living like your life depends on it is an ideal notion to cleave to, whether today’s aura is filled with trilling birds and butterflies, or sewer stinking issues that are difficult to cope with. You can’t control what’s going on around you, but you can mange the way you react, if you look on the bright side of the equation.
Being said, here’s my pro’s and con’s list for today:
Pro: Joe and I both woke up this morning, although he’s in a hospital bed, and I’m at home. Waking up rocks no matter where you are.
Con: I woke up with a hard cold. Pro: When I got home from the pharmacy with my cold relievers, the house smelled great because I’d started making chicken soup earlier.
Con: I had to let me daughter down by not babysitting my grandson Logan. Pro: I need the rest anyway. But he’s cute and here he is visiting Pop in the hospital a few weeks ago.
Con: Joe and I had to watch today’s NY Met’s season opener in different locations. Pro: The NY Mets won their first season opener in decades – and shut out the Nationals 2-0~
Here’s a blast from our past:
