Catching fish with my Sister! That was FUN!

Today joy came in ample supply....
... Ending something that wasn't right ... Saving the friendship that was there before ... Rekindling a friendship I had missed ... New jewelry ... Snuggles from my son ... Singing through kitchen chores |
The NFL is back!!!!

Watching Little Spirit enjoy many firsts. Catching her first fish, baiting her first hook, touching her first fish. She had a big day today and was full of smiles and giggles.

my Roomie making a special trip to the farmer's market to get SMOKIN hot peppers for me today...
and a whole bushel of homegrown hot and sweet peppers given to me by friends... so now I can finish my special order Salsa canning this weekend!! I loved hearing how "awesome" my first batch turned out!! (considering I can't do my own taste tests because hot peppers don't love me) I made positive plans today for the near future that brought me joy... And I had a long, VERY productive and wonderful conversation with a friend this evening after work. Her respect, strong 'voice', support and positive energy really made my day!! Honoring my son's memory by celebrating the positive rather than giving into the negative memories gives me much joy from realizing that I have processed my grief in a very healthy way and can Move Forward. |
Getting my car thoroughly detailed. I decided I needed to spoil myself. Love a clean and tidy ride.
|
spending time with the horse today. Pure heaven!
getting texts from my daughter about her classroom, as she prepares it for next year. Her excitement as a teacher is wonderful! making plans to go see a newfoundland dog .... maybe this dog will join my family. I have been dreaming and my dogs that have gone over the rainbow bridge have been coming to me and telling me its time for a new dog...and this dog feels "right" the slightly cooler but much less humid weather a really good cup of coffee this morning! |
Joy oh joy! My joy? Having the IT Tech guy come fix my home computer yesterday. I had no Internet and my computer was freezing.
Turns out I had saved so many episodes of True Blood on my TiVo desktop- I had virtually no hard drive space left. He cleaned 'em out, deleted all kinds of stuff I didn't need (AOL?); found I Had dropped my camera one too many times & was actually broken; defragged it; got rid of some suspicious malware-looking things, etc. And got it humming again! Great joy: he said I don't need a new computer- I am just seriously short of ram. I can't add Skype or anything else until I get ram but he showed me what to buy and he will install it for me! Ram is much cheaper than a new computer Best of all, he spent over 2-hours on it and only charged me $75.00! The Geek Squad would have charged me $129 just to show up. Now I don't have to use my IPhone as my primary computer anymore! I put IT women and men up there with physicians! I am in awe of what they can do. They have a secret language that I know next to zero about and am so glad that they can do whatever it is that they do! Happy Saturday all:):) |
I know ow you feel about the whole computer thing Anya, I almost had to buy a whole new laptop Myself. The one I have now was not working that well anymore, so My friend's uncle (who is a computer technician) took a look at it and determined two things: I had the crappiest operating system ever (Windows Vista) and I absolutely had not enough RAM either to accomodate everything I had on here. He totally fixed My entire computer; he installed Windows 7 Ultimate for Me and since I only had 1GB of RAM on My laptop he gave Me 4GB. My laptop is back in My possession and it runs smoothly, he's only charging Me $60 for fixing the computer so it's definately worth that amount to have it back :-)

Sometimes joy is really, really simple.
I was standing barefoot on the front deck this morning watering the hanging ferns while Gracie scampered around the yard sniffing at the wild rabbits who come to eat the sweet weeds. I looked out at our huge front yard in such a peaceful country setting and was grateful for a home that I love. I then went inside and had some coffee with Jack before sending her off to work with a packed lunch. Today, I'll clean house and work on getting the guest room ready for new paint and carpet. I'll marinate some chicken for grilling tonight and listen to my iPod. Maybe I'll work on some web projects and actually get one of my other blogs into production. I found joy today in the simple pleasures of a life I love. Truly. <3 |
I had a fantastic workout with my trainer. He used the word impressive,..... that brought me joy!!!! (even if I felt like puking!)
I am 4 pounds away from my 1st personal goal!!! |
