A wonderful morning

flowers in my garden

I woke up one morning last week, and went outside to start my few minutes of daily weeding. I couldn't help thinking 'oh what a wonderful morning!'   The odd squirrel was about although I didn't notice any birds chirping.  It was the perfect temperature (18C or 64F) and sunny.  It would go to about 24C (or 75F) that afternoon.  My friend was coming over so we could celebrate her birthday with a walk and a nice lunch afterward. We had fun chatting about everything too.

My friend is turning 60, as I will be next year.  She thought we had better get to crossing those items off our bucket list.  My idea is to remove some of those items as we run out of time, life does get in the way!

I thought this would be a good one to start your Monday off:

I dropped off some chocolates for the ladies who work at my favourite McDonald's restaurant the other day.  I got the brightest smiles as I wished them a 'Merry Christmas'.   They wouldn't let me pay for the small latte I ordered.  That made my day too!

Later on that same day, I had lunch with another lady I met years ago at my gym.  She dislikes the season perhaps because she has no close family left and maybe just a few friends.  I gave her a print of one of my Christmas cards that I painted, one with fancy red shoes, and she really appreciated it.  She said she would put it up on her mantlepiece.  It did seem like her style, to match her new car!
