cinnamongrrl · 06-23-2013, 09:15 PM

Being relieved of duty an hour early (and spending the hour previous getting paid to read)

Then

Meeting my honey for lunch since he was off early (for once!) also....

Kätzchen · 06-25-2013, 06:07 PM

It's been raining for the better part of today, but there's sunshine right now; the warmth of the sun feels so good!

a dish of spicy chicken korma w/papadum

starryeyes · 06-25-2013, 07:30 PM

Getting off work! I do love my work, but today was a 9 hour day that was exceptionally BORING!

Kenna · 07-07-2013, 08:42 PM

it's an awesome feeling when someone important to you thinks enough of you to go out of their way to find your favorite treats...so far outa their way that they crossed the state line to find just what they were looking for.

I was asked today to put something up in my new pantry ...so delightful to find several canning jars of my favorite homemade pickled beats. a rare treat

Bèsame* · 07-07-2013, 09:35 PM

it warms my heart so much...

To have answered the phone tonight and hear the voice of a little girl who used to live her. Listening to the excitement of coming home from Paris! Telling me she had flat thin pancakes with all kinds of toppings and then rolled up. (Crepes)

To have been a part of her life, and for her to have called. I did make a difference. Sweet feelings fill me up. Oh the joy!

JAGG · 07-08-2013, 04:57 AM

Thinking of all the fun I had last week on vacation. I am all tanned up and rested and ready to take on the work week.

the number 2900 made me giggle aloud this morning.......(I know, I'm a strange girl)

It was very nice to wake up to a sweet voicemail this morning from someone special to me. I could get used to that. *Smiles.

Miss Scarlett · 07-12-2013, 05:47 AM

This morning my scale showed that I've lost 14.6 lbs in the last 28 days!

Can't wait to see what my weight loss doctor's scale (my "official" one) shows at my appointment later this morning...

cinnamongrrl · 07-12-2013, 06:30 AM

Remembering we bought a steam cleaner last night...and getting to play with it today!!

Hey, it doesn't take much....

Kenna · 07-14-2013, 10:58 AM

a new hummingbird feeder right outside my bedroom window

while moving something in the yard, I accidentally scared a momma birdie from her tiny nest found in a very unusual spot. I put things back and hope to watch them from the kitchen.

making a yummy pie for a friend that I know will enjoy the new treat

getting sassed at by a territorial male hummingbird when I stepped out to porch. So tickled at how sassy they are.

my squash plants finally starting to produce.

a really nice day yesterday

Gráinne · 07-19-2013, 12:16 PM

I've been working through a book on spiritual growth for the last few days; each morning there's a new concept or word to meditate on, and ideas for implementing each idea throughout "doing" the day.

Today the word was "creativity". Not as in painting or art, but the idea that our thoughts and beliefs are self-fulfilling, and our reality around us is largely manifested from our inside out. In that sense, we "create" our reality. I don't totally understand it, but I was willing to go along with that. So I looked for opportunities to bring out something positive, with more love.

I had to go to Target and then all the way downtown for a couple of errands. My 14 year old daughter wanted to come. Now, doing most anything with a teenage girl means 10% more time and 25% more money, but I said "Sure". I consciously watched my thoughts, and any time aggrivation or impatience seeped in, I changed it to a loving thought and gave her a compliment or some other positive stroke. Lo and behold, we had a great time just doing ordinary things, she was well-behaved and respectful, and really appreciated my words. I felt very close.

So yeah, I hope we are allowed to write a long post in here (I see mostly short phrases), but ANY time things go well with my daughter, I'm way past joy and close to jubilant

socialjustice_fsu · 07-22-2013, 12:07 AM

I laughed so hard today my sides hurt...a butch friend and I took my mother fishing off a pier on a large bay. Mom had a new fishing pole and she wrangled with that thing forever, it seemed. Finally casted and brought up a crab trap. She was pure joy all day long. I know in my heart I will not have her a whole lot longer...making these kinds of memories helps ease that thought.

She caught two bait fish, a crab trap and the back of my shirt (while casting). I caught nothing but a good time...time on the water, blue skies, time with special people.

It does not get any better.

nekohl · 07-27-2013, 08:47 PM

I painted for most of the day.
I was feeling warm and red and so that's what I painted.
