Okay, so this is petty and shallow....but it still made me smile.
The doorbell rang a bit ago....nice lady asking if she could leave me an Avon catalog and a sample. Sure thing.... She rummages in her bag for a minute and then says "I'm so sorry, I don't have any samples left of the moisturizer for you....I just have the night cream, but it's designed for the 50+ crowd like me." I smile and say "me too." She looked genuinely shocked...what a lovely compliment. :cheesy: I think my long-term moisturizer addiction is paying off. |
Just a few hours!

Receiving a package in the mail from my Portland aunt - she sent me not one, but two Scentsys! And some super yummy scents to go with (f) Thank you Aunt Nancy!

Using our new pool vacuum and getting absolutely soaked from head to toe. Water was literally dripping out of my bangs and into my eyes. Reminded me of when i was a kid and going through sprinklers in people's yards just to feel that.
I laughed so hard at us it hurt my sides. Then it was a race to the shower....i won. I like it when my child comes out to play...however, moments later i enjoyed the nice hot shower to be clean and dry again. Two pieces, the kid and the adult, it's nice when they each get a turn. |
knowing I am loved & cherished...smiles....

- bubble therapy, this morning...(BIG bottle of bubbles, out in my yard, and watching them all sail away.. ) perfect way to spend some minutes this morning.. - a conversation with my Memere, very short since she has difficulty talking now being on oxygen, but long enough to hear her sweet voice saying she loves me too & misses me and doesn't want me to worry about her.. Strong, beautiful soul she is.. i hear sadness in her voice, she loves life so much, and the cancer is taking that away from her. Now we're just praying for the suffering to end for her.. poor sweet Memere.. =( - Going to the gym today.. decided to do my run on the treadmill like i used to.. Back then i was doing 1 min running, 1 min walking.. Today? i did 4 mins running, 1 min walking for a solid 30 minutes.. Just shows how much ive grown strengthwise these last 4 days.. |
My honey bringing me home a bag of goodies to help me feel better. Summer colds are poopy!

smiling at lifes blessings.
been a rough few months on my side of sanity, some things progressively damaged and destroyed along the way, many other things beautifully built, and are still safely treasured too... and somedays, i gotta say, theres times i'm barely standin for the moment... no different from anyone elses story really.. yes? i spent my evening at the hospital, having some issues due to radiation burning, etc.. its pretty painful already.. not at all pleasant, and truthfully, i'm just beginning this part of my new lifes journey... it ain't healed yet- but it will be, i feel it.... and it's gotta be... cuz i never give up my faith, or my life. or my purdy southern rose colored glasses that everybody fusses at me about! lol... hey, they're cute! and i gotta believe in somethin... right? keeping my faith, always.. and in all ways. i smile in knowing that stories of past, no longer bind me to my present... forgiveness is truly a divine thing.. wether asking for it, or freely giving it... and i'm free to fly on new wings of faith, just as those in my past, i truly wish them well... wish them love and their own lifes blessings. its a beautiful thing, to breathe easy again.. with a clean slate, goodbyes with meaning, new journeys for all.. past, present and future. But having said all that, i gotta say that i'm truly smiling at my life's present gifts this morning... last night, in the middle of all the aches and pains, and fears, nurses, docs... all telling me all kinds of new scary stuff thats fixin to happen- here Hy came-thru the curtain.. in Hys sleepin pants and tshirt, in the middle of the night, after a 13 hour day in the big rig, because i needed Hym. Hy didnt have to come, i knew i was fine, just feelin real icky... but Hy did, knowin in less than 4 hours, Hyd have to go right back to the truck, and do it again. it didnt matter... but i mattered, and W/we mattered. Might not mean a dang thing to nobody else, and i could care less bout that- assumptions can truly run amuck.. it truly does not phase me whats said. but yanno what? It made my heart smile... there are blessings to behold still.. i know this. anyone who truly knows me or cares to know me, knows just how much that little thing meant to me, especially right now. if you're willing to put in the work... and i am... hell yes. it meant something to me.. little big things are everything to me. lately, theres been a rediscovery, an awakening of sorts all around me.. be it within the love and strength of my family, who have been like rocks in my care and support, or my most magnificent and most sacred inner circle of my other family... i call them my friends. i have the most exquisite people in my life, and i am such a blessed girl... i know this. my chosen family has been there, each step of the way.. i see, feel, touch, grasp and recieve the utmost, and unconditional love and friendship from my friends.. old ones, new ones, re-discovered ones.. its truly amazing the blessings i behold when i look around me. what made me smile today? good gawd- truly, what didn't? :cheer: |
Knowing that my dear friend is doing better. :gimmehug:
|
About an hour away!!! Yeah Baby!!!!
|
Excited...
Getting my delivery from the nursery this morning...looking at all the colorful and beautiful plants and flowers that are going into my gardens this weekend.
:wateringgarden: |
That would be ...
waking up to a sweet text from a cute butch who makes me feel I am the only woman in the world. Hy has been a great supportive friend.
|
Coffee and bagel with cream cheese on the patio.
We made a trip to buy fresh fruit and veggies. Bought a cool looking plant for the back yard. Jo and Rooster took a dip in the pool. We put Skye in the pool and watched her swim back to the steps she was so calm. |
Smileage
...a newcomer, the most important person in the room.
|
talking to my sweetie on the phone,and her telling me the kiddo was upset bc she was monopolizing my time by talking to me,which meant i couldnt text him
|
The look on a strangers face when he spotted me doing my butch bad a** saunter across the parking with Buckcherry blaring from my MP3 player.
I enjoy messing with the very conservative citizens of my city to much sometimes. Waking up to a message from a friend that is going through her own ordeals yet she reached out to me in my time of mourning. |
Today is my son's 20th birthday. First of all, I can't believe he's 20! But I can't stop thinking about how blessed I am to be his mother. I am truly grateful. These things make me smile. :)
|
A new day, new possibilities and new ideas. I welcome it.

How He will watch Yes To The Dress with me, even though it makes Him cringe
Finding our Grape Hawaiian Punch at Walmart.. FINALLY (i am telling you guys, the s**t is addictive!.. and sugar free!) Watching Him empty out and reorganize our pantry (even though I won't be able to find anything for a week! LOL) |
Waking up to a beautiful - sunny day - having coffee - chilling and looking forward to today's offerings!
|
Watching the excited munching of apple branches (my rabbits)...
|
I am still smiling from the great time out dancing last night.
It is so great to be old enough not to care what anyone thought and we had such a great time. |
Walking my pups this morning, the spring breeze wrapping around me,
the dark storm clouds on the horizon as the sun shone down around me...beautiful. |
texting with my girl throughout the morning and knowing when I get home tonight I will be cuddling with her and spending time with her tomorrow! :hk19:

Paying it Forward.....
Paying for the older man's purchases behind me at Walmart last night.. He just really touched me... He was amazed at my 32 inch flat screen tv.. He just couldnt imagine that tv's had gotten so thin... ummmmm.. not sure where he has been lol...this was an older model and the cheapest one they had.. nothing fancy... but to him... it was a million bucks.
He was buying soda for his kids and antifreeze for his car and clothes hangers.. just the necessities.. You know.. the things you buy when you can only buy what you NEED. So sneaking up while he was talking to the cashier and paying for his order made me just feel so good. Now to make the homeless man that I give change to whenever I have really happy. He just touches me for some reason... Makes me realize how much I truly have even when I am flat broke. |
