SUNDAY MORNING THOUGHTS

STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS STYE
JUST LIST WHAT I'M THINKING
DOING
EATING TOAST WITH BUTTER AND JELLY
DRINKING COFFEE WITH SUGAR
LIFE IS GOOD
SUN IS COMING OVER TREES WHICH HAVE ABOUT HALF THEIR LEAVES LEFT - BUT HAVEN'T TURNED ANY COLOR YET.
THEY DROP AND TURN BROWN ON THE GROUND
MAYBE SOME ARE YELLOW
I WANT TO SHARE A LOVELY LITTLE VIDEO THAT A FRIEND POSTED ON FACEBOOK THIS MORNING...JUST 5 SHORT MINUTES OF JOYFUL THOUGHTS
Gratefulness.org/videos/10155707283118454/
I HOPE IT WORKS
GRATITUDE IS THE ROOT OF HIS PHILOSOPHY
I READ A LITTLE QUOTE EVERY DAY BASED UPON HIS PHILOSOPHY, A WORD FOR THE DAY
I USED TO COPY ONE QUOTE A DAY INTO MY BOG POSTS NOT ALL FROM THAT SOURCE BUT MANY WERE
I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AND SEE 3 SQUIRRELS COMING OUT OF THEIR NEST AT A CROOK IN THE MAPLE
YES MY WINDOWS ON THIS SIDE OF APARTMENT ARE ON SECOND STORY LEVEL
AS I LOOK THROUGH LEAVES I CAN SEE RIDGE LINE OF MOUNTAINS ON OTHER SIDE OF VALLEY
JUST A BIT OF HAZE AS NIGHT HUMIDITY BURNS OFF
DUE TO RAIN THIS AFTERNOON
BUT WE WILL BE RIDING ALONG THE PARKWAY PROBABLY
GOING TO ALTAPASS TO GET BLUE RIDGE APPLES WITH FRIENDS HELEN AND TERESA
THINKING OF FAMILY I HAVEN'T SEEN IN A WHILE
WONDER IF I SHOULD THINK OF GOING TO OHIO FOR THANKSGIVING
IT WOULD BE A STRETCH FOR MY ENDURANCE
PROBABLY NEED TWO DAYS TO DRIVE
I'VE ALREADY VOLUNTEERED TO BE A DOCENT AT THE HISTORY MUSEUM THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING
THEY NEED ME
MY FAMILY DOESN'T
SADNESS FEEING HERE
BUT I HAVE A CHOICE HOW TO FEEL
LET IT FLOW THROUGH ME LIKE A STREAM
THAT'S WHAT STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS IS I THINK
I CAN DWELL ON HOW LAST YEAR MY TWO OLDEST SONS INVITED THE REST OF THE FAMILY TO FLORIDA AND EVERYONE WAS THERE EXCEPT ME I WASN'T INVITED
OR I CAN THINK VERY HARD TO SEE IF I REMEMBER WHAT I DID LAST YEAR
I HAVE NO IDEA
I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPE ASKED ME TO COME TO THEIR CHURCH OR SOMEWHERE
I'LL NEED TO CHECK MY OD BLOG POSTS OR JOURNAL NOTES TO FIND OUT WHAT I DID
BOY IS MY MEMORY BAD THESE DAYS
I GUESS A NON EVENT ISN'T WORTH REMEMBERING
THERE'S A FLICKER CATCHING SOME BUGS ON THE TREE BARK NOW OR MAYBE A WOODPECKER  I DON'T KNOW WHICH
IT HAS A WHITE BELLY AND RED HEAD AND BLACK BACK AND IS BIG AS A CROW
NOW I'M GOING TO DO MY BREATHING TREATMENT AND LOOK UP AN ANCESTOR'S DETAILS TO ADD TO MY GROWING LIBRARY OF FAMILY NOTES
HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY
I PLAN TO TOO

Addendum: I had planned to go help serve at some kitchen or another, for Thanksgiving last year, but didn't feel like it so just stayed home.  I was exchanging emails with my friend who died in March of this year....so last year we were still talking together every day.  Now I really feel sad.  But I must also admit that I've asked my sons if I can come see them, and both welcomed me...one in FL and one in OH.  I think it's my time to go to Ohio.
We shall see.
