Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's dreary and gray and damp - how wonderful! LOL! Today will be mostly cloudy and "only" low to mid 90s. The increased humidity means a fairly good chance of continued rain. Since the "hot stuff" will be back in a few days, I'm very grateful for what ever rain we can get now. :) The gardens are all very happy right now; and the weeds even more so ... the big garden in back is very nearly now a "secret garden", lurking behind a screen of weeds! LOL!
Yesterday: I had a very busy day, and actually managed to accomplish my main goals for the day. YAY! While the "room project" is not completed, I'm now down to filtering things into where they should be, which I can do a little at a time. I've very nearly removed everything from the living room that was temporarily in there ... now I'm very encouraged to finish this and move on!
Today: It's a dialysis and work day, plus there are refills to be taken care of. This evening I'll likely work on the room a bit more ... I'm (finally) motivated to get the sewing area organized. I probably should let that wait ... so I won't be tempted to sew instead of finish the organizing and cleaning that's still needed! LOL!
Today is "One Voice" ... 'Anniversary - Americans With Disabilities Act" ... "Ratification Day (New York)" ... "Curacao Day (Curacao)" ... 'Independence Day (Liberia)" ... "Independence Day (Maldives)" ... "National Day (Cuba)".
Quotes of the Day:
"Often we don't even realize who we're meant to be because we're so busy trying to live out someone else's ideas. But other people and their opinions hold no power in defining our destiny.

"Outer space is no place for a person of breeding.
-- Lady Violet Bonham Carter
'Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster. Your life will never be the same again."
-- Og Mandino
