A good neighbor is a fellow
who smiles at you over the back fence,
but doesn’t climb over it.

~ Arthur Baer
American – Journalist January 9, 1886 – May 17, 1969

Porte Ponderings:

Daily Tarot:
  ACE OF PENTACLES –
    I am open to receive everything the Universe has to offer me.

Ace of Pentacles Reversed:
Gather more information first. If you’re thinking of making an investment, the Ace of Pentacles reversed could advise to hold off – the investment may not yield fruit in the long term. In some cases, this card may advise to reject materialism or to take a job that isn’t totally what you want.

If everyone does some good,
think of what a good world this will be.

~ Jackie Chan
Chinese – Actor Born: April 7, 1954 

Porte Ponderings:

Time to celebrate another trip around the sun.

66 is a blessing I thought I’d never see.

So, I’ll count my blessings with my family and friends to begin.
They have supported me through thick and thin.
And challenged me to be the best I can.

My mother died at 43, so I consider every day another blessing. Thanks to modern medicine and cholesterol reducing medications.

My father died at 63 of small cell cancer. I quit smoking at 40. Although he was a smoker, his cancer was probably from his work environment. He worked in high risk environments to ensure his family was provided for.

I was lucky enough to work at Canada Post and thank them every month when I receive my Pension cheque, for allowing me to retire at 55. I had the privilege of working with amazing people.

The most wasted day of all
is that on which we have not laughed.

~ Nicolas Chamfort
French – Writer April 6, 1741 – April 13, 1794

Porte Ponderings:

Some days there seems to be not enough time to do everything.

I’ve been busy getting the “got tos” done.

I couldn’t keep Patsie, so we found a new home for her and she is doing well. Living in the lap of luxury with lots of love and care.

I finally got to plant my tomato seeds in the greenhouse. The greenhouse has some minor damage from hail storms (small holes), but still keeps the temperature warmer than outside. The seed starting pads work. Now just to wait for the seeds to germinate and grow.

Today I have cupcakes to bake, shopping to do, cleaning to do and getting ready for the family Good Friday supper tomorrow.

I still need to go for a walk and take pictures of the flooding of the muddy Sydenham. Hopefully the river doesn’t go over the road.

Now to fit in some exercises.

It’s not what you do once in a while,
it’s what you do day in and day out
that makes the difference.

~ Jenny Craig
American – Businesswoman Born: April 2, 1971

Porte Ponderings:

Home.

It’s so nice to be home again.

I hired my sister to clean my house before I got back. What a wonderful luxury to come home to a clean house.

I put my car keys in a safe place and it took an entire day before my husband helped me find them. They were in a box in my bedroom dresser. So glad he was able to find them. I love my little car and it is so nice to be able to drive it again.
