Septembers fallin’ on me….

 I confess:  I woke up with good intentions.  Resolve.  Plans.  Big plans about housecleaning, a healthy breakfast, getting showered up and motivated!  I was well rested, feeling good, needing my first cup of coffee.  Every morning is a fresh start.

“I will not let the evil in our world pull me down” was my mantra as I slogged to the coffee maker.  My hair looked like Cindy Lou Who …howd that old woman get in my mirror.  Never mind, I shall don my wonderful wig and become you g and pretty (hey, a gal can dream can’t she?) then, engage cheerful morning music, Check!  Now this is better.

Then emails, any exciting new job opportunities?  Yes, I’m looking for part time gig, and have sent out many applications..  even was interviewed.  No matches just yet, but ever the optomist, i carry on looking. 

Morning check in with social media, arghhh now that was a mistake.  Down the rabbit hole I fell, deleting., blocking, hateful comments about a recent murder , and subsequent crap on Faceplant.  Nope, not gonna let the evil comments ruin my morning.  I have a great day, night and weekend ahead of me!

Speaking of which, its 22C and sunny, light breeze, gorgeous fall morning here.  And so I sit, occasionally gazing at the to-be-dusted surfaces around me (must I tackle the venetian blinds or can they survive another day or ten?) my breakfast of a wonderful juicy orange and carrot muffin with cream cheese was hours ago, now I hear a sandwich woth fresh lettuce on rye calling my name…yes, the life of a retired old gal is a good one. 

I am rich, rich with good friends, a handful of whom or who ? I’ll have dinner with tonight.  Accompanied by my very handsome, very charming man.  Conversation will no doubt orbit around current events, the Blue Jays pitcher, cars, Football (CFL if you please - go Riders) etc.  i may never be wealthy, but my life is pretty dang wonderful.  My family are healthy, and remain spread over western Canada and round the world.  I can’t wait for hockey to fire up!  Yup, getting close to “the season”.

So I will continue with my day.  At times I really do need to motivate myself to get off my arse, get going - get my chores done!  Self discipline has never been my strong suite. Okay, I gave up my bad habits 2 years ago, but remain a carnivore (albeit a low budget one) and try to live a more or less healthy life.  Hey I put lettuce in my sandwich, doesn’t that count? Lol

And I do my best to surround myself with love and happiness.  I watch stuff that makes me laugh out loud,  mostly avoiding the blood and guts John Wick crap on TV.  I did get hired to work the municipal election for a 12 hr shift in October, so thats a positive!  

I leave you with this quote  “The mind is everything.  What you think, you become,” Buddha.  I think I’m going to have a great month!  I hope y’all do to.
