FAMILY

It is a beautiful day here in the "Great White North" and the start of a great weekend.
I'm off to visit my 93 year old Mom, who still lives in her own home, in Toronto,(since 1940) with the help of my 'baby' brother and Community Access to Care helpers. She has health issues (who wouldn't at 93), but she does her best to get around with her walker and wheelchair. I'm confident that we will have a great visit. It's my goal to take her for a 'wheel' around the block if the promised rain doesn't interfere.
Thought for Today
Look for positive things and positive people and you will find them.
Look for negative things and negative people and you will find them.
The choice is up to you. My choice is positive every time!

I hope you enjoyed your visit with your Mom! You are so lucky to still have her!

Really nice post, and really nice sentiments! Along the lines of what I've been contemplating lately.

Just wanted to stop back to thank you for your kind comments and your words of wisdom on my blog post today. I really appreciate it and take it to heart.
I do know how very Blessed I am, but you are so right how easily at times I take these Blessings for granted as I run around my busy days sometimes.

Thanks so much!
All the best,
Eileen
