Up Early And Getting Things Done
I'm Awake Or At Least My Eyes Are Open
The days seem to slip by so quickly
On many occasions I have wondered where did the time go
So here is my honest attempt to make the best of this wonderful day
Lately my physical health has slowed me down
I know everyone gets aches and pains
So I am no different
I hope the way I experience my struggles
You can get a little insight to my life
Finding new ways of dealing with my problems
Might even give you suggestions to help you on your own setbacks or limitations
I have found ways to make me happier and give me more freedom than before
I sleep great every night and that is so amazing in itself
That alone gives me the energy to attempt to make things better
I love to read so that gives me more knowledge
With that knowledge I can make more choices
I turn to the experts in their own fields
So they can help me with my future decisions
The more things I do
The easier and quicker things get done
The more I can get out of life
Today being not my best day
I struggle with an ongoing discomfort
When I find time to relax
I use a foot massager that I enjoy very much
It puts me in a good mood
I love looking out our slider
Enjoying the view and the fresh air
Writing as I pull my creative thoughts together
Spending time with our cat Charlotte
Talking on the phone to an old high school friend
Recently connecting after many years
Has brought back a flood of memories
I once thought were gone for good
My wife and I look forward to so many new memories
Sharing the fun in our day
Stories of family and friends
Busy with work is not a problem
It is who we are and is part of life
Caring for others is not a hassle
It is what we do without question
Having friends who share the same values
Makes today one heck of a day
There will be times that seem gloomy and somewhat uncomfortable
With our chin up we will get through them
We make the call
Looking to the bright sunny skies of Fall

AUTHORJohn Hansen I am so glad when things work out . I recently had a starter put in my car. For all the times I turn the key and the car goes how can I complain when it goes. I was so happy it didn't go at the wrong time. I was so blessed I was done with work and my wife picked me up a few hours later. A friend installed it and it saved me some money. Everyone is happy. In a home there are things that wear out and they are an expense. For the most part a have a wonderful, happy home. I wouldn't trade it for the world. My arm is still giving me some trouble and I have an appointment with the orthopedic doctor in two weeks. He gave me a cortisone shot a few years ago and i felt fantastic for a long time. i have been trying to stretch it out with different exercises but they only work for a little bit. Thank you for your concern and nice comment. Have a beautiful night.
Dream On, we have started to feel better thanks. In regard to the water leak..the pipe had rusted,out and corroded and quite a section needed replacing...The plumbers Bill was quite reasonable though and we have stronger water pressure now than before. Hope your elbow pain eases soon.

Gypsy Rose Lee I am so happy that you are doing well. You have done so much in such a short time. Your second book wow. Maybe if you talked about your book in a round about way. Like you were doing a book review instead of trying to say here is my book. I will keep thinking. Off to work. Thank you so much for reading and sharing. Have a wonderful morning.

John Hansen I hope you are both feeling better. The water was a real surprise. Let me know how that all turns out. One day my wife and I were home and my wife heard an odd sound coming from our cellar. I went down to check. The piece of pipe that leads to the water tank had corroded and let go. I had to go shut off the water from the main. If we were out the whole house could of been flooded. We were so blessed. My elbow still hurts and I aggravate it every day in work. I have been trying to do exercises to work it out. Thank you for reading and sharing.
Can you tell me please Where did September go? It was still one of those tough months for me because last September I was still in Riga, Latvia and we had a ceremony at the gravesite. Now everything has turned topsy-turvy and time is flying by. The good news is that I am in touch with the publishing company that helped with my first book of poems and soon my second book will be int he making. Could you please tell me once it is published how I could announce it here on HubPages because the last time I remember I wrote about it but they said it was not acceptable.
We can always find so many positives each day if we just take the time to look. My wife and I have both been sick with the flu for a few days so are feeling lethargic. I woke this morning to find we had no water.....and the driveway was full of water. One of the pipes had burst so I had to call the plumber. Apart from that, the sun was shining and the day was beautiful.
