Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's overcast, and much cooler. It will probably only be low to mid 50s today, and rain by later this afternoon. I'll be glad for the rain .. though I hope it is MUCH later in the afternoon! LOL!
Yesterday: It was a fairly busy day, although a lot of things I expected did not happen. None of the home health care workers came. The friend who looked at my TV couldn't fix it, so it may have to go back. The tiller did show up, right before dark; but the garden is done! Yay! I also did a lot of work in the house, including re-organizing the pantry and 2 big cabinets.
Today: It's a dialysis day, and I'm already running late this morning. However, other than transporting back and forth, mostly I want to try to finish household cleaning I didn't finish yesterday. Oh, and I got everything out and ready to start working on a sewing project again, finally! :)
Today is "Earth Hour" ... "Legal Assistants Day" ... "Make Up Your Own Holiday Day" ... "National Cherry Blossom Festival" ... "Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianole Day" ... "Independence Day " ... "(Bangladesh)".
Quotes of the Day:
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
-- Anonymous
'love life...Yeah, I'm sad, but at the same time, I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like...It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness."
-- Trey Parker and Matt Stone
"Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
-- Steve Jobs
"God doesn't require us to succeed; He only requires that you try."
-- Mother Teresa
