What made you smile today?

[Andrew, Jr.]

Watching my birds and esp. my owl family this morning. They always make me smile and laugh sometimes.

[sweetfemme247]

my aunts dog crystal waking me up to kisses

[Words]

An awakening.

W/we've worked soooooooo hard this weekend, taking advantage of the place that W/we live in is full of Easter tourists and what that means for O/our little collectables business here in town. Profitable? Not bad. Tiring? You bet.

So this afternoon, after working hard all day, W/we take off to O/our local pub for a drink. Nothing fancy, just a long, cool, much deserved beer. Which it was, until I spotted a beautiful old cast iron water feature - a lion - slumped in a corner and clearly not being used. ''What do You think?'' I ask Daddy. ''Do You think the owner would let U/us buy it off him?'' ''I don't know,'' Hy says, ''but it wouldn't hurt to ask''. Which Hy does. Immediately. Because Hy knows it's something I want.

A few minutes later and out comes the owner. ''Yep, you can have it,'' he says, ''Just give a small dontation to the charity of your choice or give it to me for the charity of my choice.'' Which W/we do. Happily. More than happily, because it's a beautiful water feature, one that would look lovely in O/our yard, and I can't bear to see it hid away in a corner.

But how to get it home? It's iron, it's heavy, and B. can't take it in the car because Hy's had a couple of beers. ''I'll carry it,'' Hy says. And does. Not because Hy particularly wanted it, but because I did. Hys girl. Hys love. Hys wife. Who Hy wants to make happy, because that's the kind of Daddy that Hy is. In spite of the heat. In spite of Hys shitty knees. In spite of the fact that I'm a silly, silly girl who is prone to spontaneous flights of fancy.

If that wouldn't make me smile, what would?

I am blessed.

Law of the Garbage Truck


One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out
of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car
by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and
started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was
really friendly.
So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car
and sent us to the hospital!'

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the
Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around
full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of
disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes
they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.

Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage
and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take
over their day.

Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,

so ... Love the people who treat you right.

Pray for the ones who don't.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a garbage-free day!

Sitting out on my balcony, drinking a strong cup of coffee while my Hercules lay by my feet, a cool breeze and a visit from my friend the humming bird coming to feed from the feeder. I try taking a photograph but my battery needed charging.. I will try this evening when she/he returns. I need to name him /her soon. I always name my humming birds. Each year I have at least two that visit morning and evening.


Its a good day and I wish you all a good day also!!

Today is the first day I have seen and heard my hummingbirds! I am just so excited. They will land on my shoulders and head to rest. I just love them so. I know what you mean Sweet Amor Taino. It's awesome.

Driving around at lunchtime to find a quiet place we could place a conference call we came upon a huge lake. A beautiful park with swans, and geese and turtles.

Bridges over running streams and rocky waterfalls flowing into the lake, The Chinese orchid trees in full lavender bloom. Small model sailboats enjoying the breeze, sails blowing in the wind.

It was hard to go back to the site and finish the day.

After almost a week or 2 of Rains in such a way that my yard resembled a kiddie Pool, this morning's Bright Sunrise was a ray of hope for me.
My yard was dangerously close to Landlord-mowed [they charge 65.00 per hour, money-grubbing pricks].
I grabbed a broom, swept up Debris, mumbled a few morning Prayers (including one where I'd snicker with 'sweeping the bad out, major bad, weeds and all..'), lit a few white candles for various personal reasons, and sat under the big Tree, while enjoying the morning, I quietly prayed for an entirely Sunny day so I could at least get some yard work done....
After a stressful day with the Eye Physician {Vocational Rehab wants to cover all bases before the Fall Quarter starts and I pick up on Pre-Law courses through a History/Philosophy Major and work from there...}, I was treated to DQ wafflecone sundae(butterscotch and snickers, yum), I fed a few black birds that had a blue-green "hood" feathers, resembled mother-of-pearl, a few bits of the waffle cone..I'm curious about their species...
Got Home, fed fuel to lawnmower {new lawnmower has a bag, w00000t-joygasm!-}, Looked up, clouds looked iffy, but the sun was out, neighbor chick was mowing across street, waved, I waved back with a small grin.
Turned ball cap back, and went to work...
It did stall briefly....grass clogged..-mumbles-...
Once that was done...I had a blast..
I'd pause briefly sometimes [to rest, and survey my progress...blade still runnin, but i shook it briefly to make sure no clog]..
Once our small piece of land was properly and neatly trimmed -ahem-, I was pleased, felt accomplished..
Relieved.
I saw the skies get very dark, and street lights go on while I was doing final touches, I started cleaning the lawnmower, and Rain started to trickle...
I did collect the remnants, and rain came down more and more...
Looked up and smiled with "Alright, alright, I get it, Most heartfelt humble gratitude for the Blessings! " my brother glanced at me like I lost my mind when I rushed in, cuz the rain just started pouring hard, and I actually giggled when the screen slammed from the wind....

A mama and her ducklings, about six total still small and fuzzy came waddling along the water's edge. You could see how fiercely she was protecting them. She would stop walking when they did. It was definately smile-worthy.

i went to new smyrna beach today and walked forever. within my view, there were pelicans gliding effortlessly over grassland, and within moments, these lofty birds were close to blue-green ocean breaking white caps; the shoreline was alive with zig-zagging sand-fog about my feet, and i found enough feathers to hold in two hands. seven pelicans eventually left my field of vision, and were spaced evenly in a row over curls in the water- the best. long lifespans, a pelican can reach 43 years of age.

That is so precious Eonni. I am glad you dad had a good time.

[dixie]

Both of my grandmothers are still living. The younger one (my dad's mother) who used to be the most active now suffers from Parkinsons. The last time I saw her, just a few weeks ago, she just had a slight shake in both of her hands. Now, she also has a "twitch" (not really sure what to call it) in her mouth and jaw, and has started to "sway" her head back and forth (not quite the serious shaking yet). It was really sad to see, because she has always been so vibrant and outgoing, and now because of the illness she rarely leaves the house because she's afraid that people will laugh at her if she spills something or starts shaking more.

What makes me smile, is that today we went over to her house because she called wanting "the full treatment". We trimmed and dyed her hair (the usual burgundy it's been since I was born), gave her a manicure (the usual hot pink), and did her makeup (with the usual fire-engine red lipstick). It absolutely tickled me to death that she wanted to get all dolled up for tonight. Also shocked that she was dolling up because she had accepted my dad's invitation to dinner.

Every year it's become tradition for my dad and my son to take all the ladies out for a Mother's Day dinner. They took me, my mom, both grandmothers and my great aunt out to our favorite seafood restaurant. It made me smile to spend time with the special ladies in my family, and especially that the one grandma had such a great time without worrying about her illness. I <3 my family. :)

The Rambo Granny of Melbourne , Australia

Gun-toting granny Ava Estelle, 81, was so ticked-off when two thugs raped her 18-year-old granddaughter that she tracked the unsuspecting ex-cons down... And shot off their testicles.

The old lady spent a week hunting those men down -and, when she found them, she took revenge on them in her own special way, said Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp.

Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, laid the gun on the sergeant's desk and told him as calm as could be: 'Those bastards will never rape anybody again, by God.'

Cops say convicted rapist and robber Davis Furth, 33, lost both his penis and his testicles when outraged Ava opened fire with a 9-mm pistol in the hotel room where he and former prison cell mate Stanley Thomas, 29, were holed up..

The wrinkled avenger also blew Thomas' testicles to kingdom come, but doctors managed to save his mangled penis, police said. 'The one guy, Thomas, didn't lose his manhood, 'but the doctor I talked to said he won't be using it the way he used to,' Detective Delp told reporters. 'Both men are still in pretty bad shape, 'but I think they're just happy to be alive after what they've been through.'

The Rambo Granny swung into action August 21 after her granddaughter Debbie was carjacked and raped in broad daylight by two knife-wielding creeps in a section of town bordering on skid row... 'When I saw the look on my Debbie's face that night in the hospital, 'I decided I was going to go out and get those bastards myself ''cause I figured the Law would go easy on them,' recalled the retired library worker.. 'And I wasn't scared of them, either - because I've got me a gun and I've been shootin' all my life. 'And I wasn't dumb enough to turn it in when the law changed about owning one.'

So, using a police artist's sketch of the suspects and Debbie's description of the sickos, tough-as-nails Ava spent seven days prowling the wino-infested neighborhood where the crime took place till she spotted the ill-fated rapists entering their flophouse hotel. 'I knew it was them the minute I saw 'em, but I shot a picture of 'em anyway' and took it back to Debbie and she said sure as hell, it was them,' the oldster recalled...


'So I went back to that hotel and found their room and knocked on the door, 'and the minute the big one opened the door, I shot 'em right square between the legs,'right where it would really hurt 'em most, you know. 'Then I went in and shot the other one 'as he backed up pleading to me to spare him.' Then I went down to the police station and turned myself in..'

Now, baffled lawmen are trying to figure out exactly how to deal with the vigilante granny. 'What she did was wrong, and she broke the law, but it is difficult to throw an 81-year-old woman in prison,' Det. Delp said, 'especially when 3 million people in the city want to nominate her for Mayor.'

First off, Leftrightfemme's post about the gun-toting Rambo Granny in Australia that she posted in this thread - think it was a "last night post." The story is priceless. I laughed out loud!

Here is the thing that put a smile on my face when I first opened my eyes this morning. I am overwhelmed with such a deep feeling of unshakeable peace. I cannot tell you how thankful I am about this. I finally let go of something 150%. My suffering has ended for all time in this matter. All I feel is a great deal of love and acceptance. It has taken me since February 2004 (a little over 7 years) to find my way to here and all my feelings are good about this.

Hey Gang, this morning, I realized this miracle is here - TODAY!! The magnitude of it is such that ... these type miracles only come around maybe a handful of times or less in a person's entire lifetime.

Thank you, Good Spirit! :)
I am doing the happy stone butch dance all over the house today!! LOL! My beloved dogs do not know what is going on but they enjoy seeing me happy and acting goofy - they are dancing around, wagging their tails, too! Heh Heh!

Greetings violaine,

Thanks for rep!

I tried to post a message to you the other night and could not. Maybe it is my computer. It gives me grief at times. I need to wipe the hard drive and reload everything. I spend 8+ hours at a computer coding all day at work .... so far, I have not become interested enough in donating a day to maintain my laptop here at home.

Hope you have a terrific weekend! (f)

Found out my oldest grand daughter's graduation and Homecomming Queen pics are their way along with her graduation invite. She's graduating from my HS- which her Dad attended, and all of my nephews and niece. A small town HS.

I'm going to give her my Mom's wedding ring for graduation- my Mom left it to me.

Can't wait to see the pics! She is quite lovely- and not just in the looks department. Very bright, responsible young woman that has earned entrance into a great university. She is a hard worker, articulate and compassionate.

My Dad and Mom would be so proud- they had no chance of ever getting a higher education- or to go to high school. Mom went to the 8th grade and had to quit to go to work during the Depression. Dad had a 3rd grade education in Italy.

Getting off work!!!!!

I have decided that I do NOT like nursing homes, no matter how nice they look, how beautiful the outside is... I don't like the feeling of helplessness it promotes in me. I don't like how clients are scheduled for the facilities convience rather than their needs. I don't like being told that the client doesn't need to get out of bed, that she had on depends and they are short staffed and they will be in to change her as soon as they can. The note in her file says she needs to get up and walk because she is getting weak.

Nope.. I like my private duty... It might be more work, and harder but at least I know someone is not going to agitate and then exculate because of soiled depends. Cause I get their ass up out of bed and take them to the bathroom!!!!

Getting off work and coming home to spend the day with my baby made me smile....
