Say Anything Nice Today!
 

Lately it seems everything is going so negative. We all tend to be hard on ourselves and others at times. This thread is devoted to saying anything

nice

about yourself, or someone else today! (Don't wait until tomorrow!!)

ie, I just made a beautiful lavender wand, I feel amazing!

(It can be anything, you did, didn't do, want to do soon, a talent you have or one you secretly want, leave a nice note for someone here..the sky's the only limit!

Great thread idea kittygrrl!


Two Blue Herons landed on my roof today. I found out they can live to be 15 years old and they live in "colonies." Watching them fish in the ravine out my back deck is a thing of beauty. They are nothing short of majestic.

I would also add, I appreciate the varying opinions here on BfP. Many speak with such verbal alacrity, very impressive!:bowdown:

Happy that I put in for a transfer with Starbucks!

My Mother was a painter. After her death, I collected what was left of her unsold or undistributed paintings, sketches, drawings, drafts, scribbled ideas, bits and pieces and put them in a series of portfolios she had kept ... and stored them away to give to my daughter, her granddaughter...when the time seemed right.

My daughter recently told me that I'm about to be a grandmother. I decided the time is now right but because they live in Australia, I figured I should spread the art haul out over time: sending some, bringing some with me when I visit. So I started sorting through it.

And there it was... my grade school art, drawings, colourings...a mini portfolio full of bits of my childhood that she had kept and slipped inside her own portfolio some 65 years before. She had done what I had done with my own daughter's art...and now these 3 generations of art will be sent to Australia to be the heritage of the fourth generation of this surviving family. This is a miraculous and happy story.

my spouse and I went out for ice cream (his idea) he sure knows how to make our Sunday sweet:heartbeat:

:alieninjar:<<<<<<<I lovvvve this one, it makes me smile!

Kitty, this was the very best idea for a thread!

Thank you!!

I love having a certification. Even though it is a CNA certification, I feel more in control of my life and career. I no longer have to settle for a low paying job, that has no growth potential. My next goal is to become a medical billing specialist :)

I also applied for a CNA/Administrative Assistant position with a local hospital.

My company nurse is the bomb and one of my hero's. She stands up for us hourly employees even at the risk of maling our division president irrrrrrate

The best memory is when you remember how it felt when you were loving or loved so deep :)

I am so grateful that I am at a point in my life that I will no longer stay silent when I see a person/persons being victimized.

it's really rare for me to have a good Monday...today was a nice exception!!!

:cookielove::wateringgarden::carride:

I saw a gorgeous rainbow on my way to the dog kennel this morning!!!! Oh and yesterday I saw a Kingfisher on the telephone line down by the pond. We always called them "wood knockers".:hangloose:

Something nice....hmmmmm.....

Well.... Today I was told how awesome I did at my job in July. Got a fist bump from the boss and everything lol.

I get off work early tomorrow! That's definitely nice.


Sometimes I have chats that are extra nice.

Weeding today...(a)not exactly cheerful activity, but my plants will love it

:wateringgarden:

Pelicans.
 

Everywhere Pelicans. They're my absolute favorite. :)

How lucky you are. I should probably check if we have any pelicans here. Canada Geese don't look anything like pelicans and they are a bit "messy" but they are a magnificent sight when they migrate in formation...we love them "as long as they keep moving" lol.

Smiling has pointed out to me that bird "doody" on your head is a sign of good luck. Well, this may just be the thread where i can honestly claim that I've had lots of good luck.

<dies laughing>

I have been there, too; unfortunately, I can't remember how it turned out for me, though. Just that I've heard it is so. May many blessings continue to rain down upon you, Collette!

:)

Old Chinese Proverb:

Give a pelican a fish, you feed it for a day; teach a pelican to fish and you give it ammo for ever. May your blessings be greater than mine.

:shithappens:

I really enjoy the smell of the Earth after it as rained!

I complimented the grocery store manager on how much nicer and cleaner there store was than the one I normally frequent.

need to feel nice for a few moments...so will think about nicer moments driving with (S) and stopping at cozy little spot we found for lunch...life is made for remembering sweet funny moments frozen in time..

the dogs have found comfort using me as a pillow...and I'm ok with that

I saw an ad for a talk on Mindfulness so decided to attend. Turned out it was someone making a presentation at a Toastmasters Club meeting and was just the part of the evening where people have a chance to make a presentation and learn/practise that skill. Though I've no real interested in the Toastmasters program, I have to say I have never been in a more supportive, positive environment...analysis and critiques by all attendees but ALWAYS with the positive purpose of helping the speaker improve their skills...great way to spend an evening, everyone feeling they benefitted... now if only I wanted to become a public speaker lol

COLLETTE
 

I think you would make a fine speaker..you are concise, knowledgable, unafraid and charismatic...yes! better then fine!

these aren't your steel toed boots but just as scary!!
 

I have to admit going to KILLER HEELS ...The Art of The High Heeled Shoe showing in Pittsburgh Pa this past Sunday ( August 7th ) at the Frick Art & Historical Center was quiet enjoyable, and it was not just because of the company I was in, it was actually the high heeled shoes and the history along with some rather strange short video clips.......amazing designs, not only classy, but provoking, stylish, ancient, beautiful, nasty, sexual and dangerous and powerful. Of course seeing some that were worn by the likes of Lady Gaga and others were quite interesting also. I am sincerely glad that I went.

What a story I could tell if I were a pebble
taken from sediment and sent on this journey...

How long it took me to travel from place a to b....
What have I become ?
A rock on the beach ?
Part of a rock wall ?
part of the soothing blanket of beach sand ...
made up by my smaller cousins....
Or maybe just a paperweight...
because someone took me home and treasured me ?

Thank you kittygrrl. I'd have responded earlier but I couldn't get my head through the door.

For all of America's faults and lord knows she has plenty; at least I will not be *stoned to death for being a lesbian (Somalia) or put in a *state-run, mandatory Ex-Gay program (Uganda) to rehabilitate me in order to live a "normal", i.e., straight life.

I am very grateful for that.





*Both news articles in International News.

I may not have much..but, I have a cool dry place to lay my head and food on my plate...and for that I am grateful. It's more than some folks

Well I woke up and I'm having my coffee....... I have pretty much all I need.:hangloose::hangloose::hangloose:

not all that is gold does not glitter ...
not all those who wander are lost...
the old that is strong does not whither..
deep roots are not reached by the frost...
