There are some benefits of social media, such as the memories feature on your Facebook. While sipping my first coffee of the day I checked out my social media. I am not so sure this is the best use of my time, or if it is the most beneficial way to start the day.
I hear yoga is a great way to start the day with a little meditation. It sounds good, but I am privy to my FB and checking out what’s going on in the world of my friends updates, and news updates. I admit I am forgetful and don’t always know when someone’s Birthday is. I like FB for that type of reminder.
This morning this picture showed up of my Grandmother. It was taken on May 16th, 2014, she had turned 96 that year. She so wanted to join the 100-year-old club. Sadly she didn’t make it. However she did live 96 long years of life and today would have marked her 101 year Birthday!
Grandma I thought of you today and I remember when I snapped this picture of you above. The silly Birthday hat, and colourful balloon and few little things to make you feel special. Here are 50 thoughts I have today on your 101 Birthday.
