Gratitude Day 45 - Alarm Clocks

Dear Friends,
This morning my alarm clock didn’t go off! Thus I woke up hour and a half later than I usually do! Talk about being thrown off!
Although watches and clocks have been around for ages, no one (except the Swiss, Rolex and Cartier) consider them as blessings! Where would we be without clocks, especially alarm clocks! Alarm clocks ring to “alarm” us against the dangers of waking up a body before it’s ready! I know people who, in fear of oversleeping, set two alarms!
When I was growing up, my grandmother, God bless her soul, lived with us. Every morning, she would unmistakably wake up at five and function as the “family alarm clock!” All we had to do was to let her know at what time we wanted to wake up.
Since “fifties” are the “new forties,” my innate alarm clock has not kicked in yet! In anticipation however, I shall gratefully go to the store tonight and by two, just in case!
Have an “awaken” day everyone!
