A suprise visit from a friend I have been missing.
|
Waking up with the realization that only after two more nights here, I will wake in a modest home on 2.19 acres in the woods. I know it is real but honestly am unable to believe it yet.

...a serious conversation with my nephew
he is 3 yrs old and we were talking about his birthday gift! :sparklyheart: |
Joy
Seems like so long since I felt joy.
Walking in the yard today looking at all the pretty wildflowers and the native flowers in my garden give me joy. Texas is pretty in the spring. :bouquet: |
Seeing a ground hog (all of which I call George) standing on his hind legs....too cute :)

-the dog being goofy
-coffee -my daughter was really sick but she's starting to feel better. Less germs. - a conversation with someone this morning - it feels good outside... For now. |
More yesterday than today per se, but yesterday, my mom, grandmother, and I went to my cousin's wedding. And I managed to get my grandmother (who has serious stomach problems, like late-stage pancreatic cancer and gallstones) to actually eat, which she badly needs because she's had enough trouble eating lately that she's lost several pounds over the course of a couple of weeks. She seems to have quite a bit more energy today than she did during the time she wasn't eating.

The beauty of nature and the kindness of strangers...
And A couple who saw my Patriots magnet yell "GO PATS!" at me. Indeed. Can't wait for football :) |
BBQ and beers on the beach with beautiful weather and fantastic company. :hangloose:
|
As I was walking out from hickory nut falls today, a lady saw me and said to her husband, "ohh here comes a hiker!"
I've been hiking for years but no one has ever referred to me as a hiker. :) |
Just now- the 16 year old daughter asking if we can get in my bed and watch I Love Lucy. She had a hard day. This is the perfect remedy.
|
In the past month that I've been laid up at home, Skip, my little dog has brought me much joy and a lot of company while laying up in the bed. He's comical and makes me laugh. He's just a joy to have as my sidekick.
|
My son and messages from him. I'm so proud!
|
So today I took my truck to my buddy to replace the brakes. His wife came pulling a little wagon with the little granddaughter in it, she is 18 months old. We sat and talked a bit. The baby was born at 24 weeks. She was 1 pound and 10 inches long at birth. She was in the hospital for a long while but is fine now and a happy little girl. Knowing that this active little person was born up against such odds and has come so far brings me great joy.

Getting proof that I haven't forgotten everything I learned in elementary school.

Making Momma D's secret BBQ chicken sauce for the first time in several years. Brings back very fond memories of many wonderful dinners and special time spent with her.

A visit to the Biltmore which yielded a heap of wild life experiences ..
First, I was watching a big fish in the pond. Then I looked over and saw a fish about 3x the size of the bass. It had to be 18" or more. I remarked to a lady sitting nearby that I'd give anything for a fishing pole. She said "I did that once. They said if I got caught again I'd lose my season pass!" she's the old lady I will be one day lol Then...as I was leaving I saw what I thought was a large piece of tire rubber in the road. As I got closer I realized it was a huge, coiled black snake. I stopped and found a stick and helped it to the side of the road. He was posturing like a venomous snake and I wasn't about to find out the hard way. Come to find out , he was a little injured but I think he'll be ok. He was feisty! Lastly, on the way out I saw what I thought was a loose dog. Upon looking I saw that it was a youngish bear. Prolly under 5 years old. He had on a tracking collar. My fear was that he was headed towards Hendersonville road...a VERY busy road . I bleeped the horn to try to scare him the other way. It was literally a wild day. And I totally forgot to mention the turkey hen that was standing very close to us and clucking for her babies. They had gone through the fence and She couldn't figure out how to get to them...silly bird |
Finding a big turkey vulture feather on my front step. :hangloose:

Cleveland! Mistake on the Lake no more!

Having Mom and my sister over for supper
|
I have big fun plans for tonight so I wanted to sleep in this morning. I had time to sleep in. So, I assumed my body would do the normal *ping!!!* Awake at 5am. But it didn't! I slept more than I have in months!

My kennel job, my spouse and three dogs, seeing a deer in my backyard.:fastdraq:

Last night at work, I told my associate, thank you for doing something. She stopped for a moment and said, " you said thank you, that made me feel good"
I say 'thank you' all the time. She, just realized the feeling I brought on. She then told me, I guess I'm just not used to hearing it, coming from a house of disfunction. She says..."I'm going to say "thank you " more often. I can look back and name all the people who have influenced me, who I've learned valuable lessons from. I'm realizing it's me, now, who can be the influencer. |
It was pure joy and some happy tears.
I had a customer come in today, that was quite chatty with me the last time she was in. Today, she was telling me about her flooded home story. How she just couldn't wash the smell out of her clothes, how she lost family mementos, but was able to save the piano. (She is a composer.) Well another customer heard this story and joined into the conversation. This customer ended up buying her selections. Truly an act of kindness. She was overwhelmed to say the least. Sometimes people surprise me 😇 |
Making an appointment to speak to an advisor about the accelerated nursing program that my school offers. I could have my BSN in 3 years..at a minimal cost. I meet the criteria so...its just about when I can start. Oh and I'd have my ADN in 2 years...can't beat that with a stick.
Also made an appointment with my credit union to discuss how to improve my credit score. I have no credit vs bad credit. Some say that's worse. We shall see.. Feels like I'm wrangling up some ducks at long last.... :) |

:weightlifter: An easy way to grow your credit would be to get a rewards credit card through your credit union or bank. You can get set up auto payments of your normal bills on the credit card and that way you only make payments to the credit card each month, your bills get paid and you build credit. It's a win-win-win as long as you don't go buck wild when you get the card. That would be counterproductive. Also, you can get a gas card. I've had one for years now and unless I'm road tripping it, rarely put more than $20-30 on it per month but it does help to build credit and when funds are tight one month, I can rely on it for my fuel. What brought me joy this morning was a teensy weensy dip on the scale. I'll take it! |
Watching my daughter and her boyfriend chase each other around the swimming pool today, and knowing her boyfriend thinks I'm "cool"... OH and that she told him that she tells me EVERYTHING... :D

The generosity of a good friend.
