Knowing my nephew is making the uphill turn for the better now. He was able to get up and out of bed yesterday.

He is out of critical care ICU.......had a very serious complication from a previous surgery and we almost lost him Sunday night.

He was able to begin to suck on some ice chips yesterday. He has a very long road to recovery BUT he is young so that is a plus!!!

Thank you to those who have sent me messages & user reps....I so appreciate your kind, thoughtful words!!!

My sweet daughter who turned 13 yesterday...

[RockOn]

I came across my beloved Kelly's truck seat harness earlier today. She was my precious mixed-pitt who died January 2014. I held it to my chest and had sweet memories of her. My love for Kelly was infinite. I miss my Kelly so much every single day. Kelly made me laugh all the time!! She could get away with anything and she knew it. The reason ... Kelly was always the clown! :)

[Wrang1er]

Calling my uncle, who has been in the hospital for eleven days due to a collapsed lung. He was happy to hear from me. I told him he was my favorite and he said I was his. He has a ton of nieces and nephews but it was nice of him to say that. :)

Long ago my grandmother told me I was her favorite. Thanks for reminding me of that.

what made me smile? I can hear again! I got my hearing aids today and they worked!

[PaPa]

A telephone voicemail message from my deceased partner's ex husband. I had posted a picture of cherry pies I made yesterday and he told me, "Now I am sad." When he called he told me to think back of who used to say that. That was a line she would say when she wanted something she could not have. It actually made me laugh out loud and smile at the memories we both had shared with her. It amazes me how people change our lives, add meaning to it, and memories remain. *Smiles

[~SweetCheeks~]

So many things, life is truly amazing.

The clip of the President having bit of fun at the Republican Candidates expense! If you haven't see it, be sure to check it out!

In a nutshell he refers to how all of the candidates brag how they'll handle Putin when they become President but yet can't handle a few debate monitors from CNN! Very funny stuff

[cinnamongrrl]

The cashier at Food Lion....

She was a high school girl; super nice from the get go...about maamed me to death...

As I was leaving, she said something I didnt quite hear, so I asked her what she said....

She was already with another customer but she turned and looked right at me and said "God loves you. Never forget that." I was taken aback and just kind of looked at her. She turned and looked at me and said, " I mean it..."

It was kind of like a hug from the universe. Ive been going through an emotional rough patch and this really helped...even if I am a non practicing/lapsed Catholic...

She may very well have been an angel. I'm there an awful lot and I dont ever remember seeing her before...either way...my mind is more at ease...:bunchflowers:

[JustLovelyJenn]

So much time exactly where I want to be.

The beauty of the day...the way the sun hit the mountains as I was driving to work this morning....

It was so distracting that I missed my exit... but after 3 days of rain my eyes were hungry for the views...

[clay]

awakening to a beautiful sunny & warm day with "much less" humidity!!!!!

[Gemme]

The little things...some sleep, a rusty purr, Scream Queens and getting my nails done.

[Ascot]

It was more of a chuckle, really. Catching up with a tanker truck on the highway, two enormous shiny, silver cylindrical tanks, the back one sporting a sign that reads, "Molten Sulfur". My first thought, "Huh, apparently there really is such a thing as hell on wheels."

[cinnamongrrl]

My morning client...

I spilled my entire to go mug of coffee right in front of her (outside.. and I managed not to cuss!)

So she went back in with me and made me an espresso and told me to help myself to her gluten free banana bread..which was amazing...and went really well with the espresso.

I also got a hug. I often love my job...

[not2shygrrl]

Over the past week as well as earlier today, when I drive down my road the pine needles from the trees that line the 2 lane road have been shedding. When they fall they are brown and dead and accumulate on the road from side to side often covering it until a few of us have driven over them scattering them towards the road sides. It is such a fragrant hundred yards of driving over crunching pine needles that just naturally smell fresh and wonderful. Right then I am already thinking how I can't wait to get back home and smell them all over again. *sigh*

convo between my older daughter, boyfriend and me.
Boyfriend: to my daughter your mom (my ex) wants to know if I have her saw.
Me: her saw? she gave all my tools to you?
He: She gave me a box of tool
Me. Why does she want a saw? she never lifted a hammer in her life
Daughter to boyfriend: so who do you think is butcher T (my ex) or Mom
He: well T seems like it because she is really rough around the edges (what ever that has to do with butch I don't know) but your Mom (meaning me) because she has it all and can is really handy
Daughter: yeah, she did everything around the house. Yeah, it is definitely her (meaning me)

Nice that I am recognized lol :)

Traditions

[cinnamongrrl]

My entire day....

I confess I started out sad and miserable; holidays are a sucky time to be 800 miles away from loved ones....but.. I'm where I want to be... so...I spent the day with my great love: Asheville :)

I went downtown and found it nearly deserted...meandered aimlessly for a while, then headed to the basilica...the bells ringing actually led me there...explored there for a while, kit a candle for my loved ones...

Then off for more sojourning in lovely weather...found a European style bakery open and got a treat then walked to Pack Square...found an actual paper version of the Urban Trail I've been wanting to take...did some of that...window shopped like crazy...without crowds! Ended up at Pritchard Park....

I saw a lot and learned something too....

After helping a lovely lady, I went home and grabbed my dogs and went for a nice hike that was suggested to me by a client yesterday...

Best thing yet is that I discovered ways to give thanks and find bliss...even so far from all those I love...

[Genesis]

People's kindness... just when I thought I had nothing or no whea to go... My roommate/friend invited me to her family's Thanksgiving dinner...It was beautiful and humbling... I'm blessed beyond words....

Spending quality time with my daughter in downtown fabulous Chicago!

The holiday lights are breathtaking, the food per always is perfect. Went to the museum of contemporary art this afternoon, one of the exhibitions is Surrealism: The Conjured Life. We will both be discussing for many hours the stories behind the art.

My daughter wanted to do a bit of shopping for her mom, so we went into a little shop on The Magnificent Mile. She saw a handbag her mom may enjoy and the nice woman told us the handbag was on sale for 1,550.00. LOL my daughter kept it cool until we left the boutique. A bit over her budget of 250.00.

Smiling...got all dolled up for a work Christmas party on Friday night. We had such a good time, being introduced to his co-workers, dancing and enjoying our time out.

Apparently, today he has a new nic-name. Dancer. Lol. Yes, we were that couple who had so much fun they were talking about us. Yeah, I bet I'm Prancer! He says noooo, your my Vixen ;)


I was excited to go, because I've never had the opportunity to go to a big Christmas work party.

What comes to mind...the Christmas party where someone wears the lamp shade..lol

Yeah, I'll be smiling for awhile.

I'm proud to come from such good people <3

[Lecheloco]

I saw STAR WARS!!!!!!

That is a great Star Wars movie
After watching it I felt like I needed to read the books, that's how good it is that I'm sure the books will take the whole thing to another level, plus give me more details and more backstory

[Jesse]

I got another piece of cast iron to add to my collection as a surprise Christmas gift from a friend of mine. :) See pic ↓ I think it lists as a 36 oz serving dish for hot or cold dishes, but they are great for entrees and side dishes too. I love it!

I was letting the dogs out on this drizzly morning and realized I could hear the rooster that lives about a mile down the road. He has the most soulful crow I've ever heard. Typically, we hear him when we are walking by. I was so pleased to hear him that I left both my front doors open so I could sit and listen..... :)

I saw a Massachusetts plate today!!!!

I've lived down here nearly 2 years and have seen Maine, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and heaps of New York.... even a Rhode Island . Never a Massachusetts.


And....like a true Masshole...they initially pissed me off for driving stupid lol Before long I was beeping and waving. I'm sure they were thinking Asheville is a very odd place.. :)

[cinnamongrrl]

The sunrise..

I watched it from the first...in all its variances of stages and colors...from pink to gold...

The sunrise here is delayed by the mountains...so the sky wakes slowly...

Today it revealed an almost literal blanket of mist in the valley...and as the sun rose the mist came up the hill to the woods in front of my house...and I took the prettiest picture of the sun fiktering through the mist...

I sent the picture to several people...it renewed my appreciation for being here...I do realize how fortunate I am to be surrounded by such beauty..

[PearlsNLace]

Watching my son learn jingle bells...sorta. at the top of his lungs, in Trader Jo's... cause what does the day after the holiday matter when your 20 months old? Sometimes the absurdity of a messy life is what feels the most magical.

[Smiling]

1. I got my bookshelf put together and it looks really nice - and I even used all the parts which is a good sign that it won't suddenly fall apart one day, lol.

2. I managed to change the toilet seat which was broken. A revolting task, but it had to be done because every time I sat down it was pinching my bottom, lol.

3. This actually happened two days ago, but it's still pretty cool. I went out to my car to get tools and when I turned around I was startled to find THREE wild peacocks standing right behind me! Like, reach out and touch me behind me. Two females and one male. They were just hanging around showing off for me in their natural resplendence. I saw 5 of them once on the roof of the building across the street strutting around. I'd guess I'd strut around like that, too, if my backside looked nearly so glorious, lol.

4. No work - always a reason to smile, lol.

[RockOn]

Went online soon as I woke up to check on a death row dog. She was scheduled to die at the kill shelter yesterday and I did not see her until late last night. I hurriedly pledged money to help save her. She had already been flipped into the UNKNOWN STATUS folder and that is a deadly place for these poor souls to land. They usually go straight to the GONE FOLDER from there. Anyway, this morning I smiled, then laughed out loud, got a little choked up too when I saw this adorable little bully girl in the SAFE FOLDER. A rescue did an awesome scramble to pull her out of that deathtrap at that time in the evening. I am so happy! Now she will get a great forever home! Rescues are so particular about who gets to adopt ... and they do follow up check-ins on the dogs too. If something is not right, they will take the dog back in a heartbeat with no apology.

[JDeere]

Shopping, clearance shopping!

[Kobi]

I was checking on the eaglets who are now 6 and 8 days old. Even tho they still have the body control of a dish of jello, they managed to crawl their way over to the food pantry.

By the time they got there, they were exhausted and ended up napping, using a carp for a pillow.

Parents gonna have their hands full with these two.

I actually cooked! It's nice to be home this week and can have time to make meals.

Breakfast was steak, scrambled eggs, fresh mushrooms.

Dinner was pork chops, fresh green beans & parmesan risotto. The risotto wsa store bought and it was okay but next time I'll just skip it.

I plan to cook again tomorrow. Yay!

Several things...

I was leaving my client's house at the same time as the dishwasher repair guy....

He asked if he could help me carry my stuff to my car....chivalry is NOT dead in the south y'all....

Also...

I had to ring the Massachusetts DMV for the umpteenth time...and I had a lovely conversation with the clerk up there...about the weather and long winters and gaining weight and the stupidity of the NC DMV system.... I love it here...everyone knows that...but seriously...their system is flawed...

I had a nice talk and many laughs with a male DMV operator on Monday...its funny Cuz in Massachusetts they're not real well known for their niceness at the DMV...where as it was here in NC that I found a rude clerk. Whom I will be writing an official complaint about tomorrow.

But I digress from my happy sunshiny smiling
....

[RockOn]

It was great to read you are a huge RESCUE supporter. Sending you big hugs! :)

Want to hear another awesome something? I saw another little pittie girl late last night in the UNKNOWN STATUS folder. I did the exact thing I did the night before. Pledged $$$ to her. That same rescue did the exact same thing too. They pulled her out of harm's way when she was totally out of time. Seeing the little bully girl's sweet face in the SAFE folder this morning, I experienced same good feelings this morning like yesterday morning. I so wish every one of them had the opportunity to live in a forever home with kind, loving people. Every single one of them deserve this.

[Lecheloco]

Smiling because I was called a silly goose! I haven't heard that one in a while

Having a day to do as I please....again...and still another one ahead of me ...

The river running wild in Chimney Rock...the spot where I stood and took pictures a month ago is now under water...

A nice talk with a lovely, elderly store clerk...

Some yummy fudge from her shoppe...

The tourists looking as awed by the surroundings as I always feel...

Children. With actual manners...

The horses at a farm nearby...

Seeing a forsythia in full bloom....and a camelia too....scary as it is...

[boioboi]

1. The look of concentration on my niece's face as she put together her gerbil habitat (that we got her for Christmas)

2. Feeling confident about my resignation from my job

3. Father-in-law made his magical cashew brittle for Christmas again

It snowed today...just flurries...but still...it was pretty...

Listening to school closings because of the snow made me giggle....

And

I think I have finally found the elusive trail head I've been seeking for a hike on a much loved mountain near me...I'm excited...there are cliffs as well ad a rocky bald...and I'm certain there are caves up there. I cannot wait to take in the view from above. I've been admiring it from below for so long now....

[Chad]

I had lunch with work friends and it was fun. I ate way too much so no dinner. It was fun we laughed and laughed.

This is the second year I have been monitoring a webcam of an eagle's nest. Today mama eagle laid the first egg. That made me smile. Fingers crossed there will be a second egg in a few days.

[Triffid]

My new dietician started off asking me " Do you enjoy eating out? And how often do you do it?

Um, sometimes you just can't help but spit your tea out when your brain does a 360.

[kittygrrl]

[clay]

a friendly smile....that is what made me smile today so far!

[Orema]

Listening to Thelonious Monk this mornring.

He was a jazz musician (master player), but he would throw down some Liberace runs in the middle of a song that just makes me smile and sometimes giggle. I love his music. Makes my whole being smile.

:bow:

[clay]

Having a date with my honey tomorrow...we are getting massages...mine is foot massage & hers is a back massage!:byebye:

[Bèsame*]

Sometime during the night I felt a kiss on my head. Well, my Confetti cat likes to sleep at the head of the bed over my head and on occasion she will put her paw on my head, my face. Annoying at times, lol.

I was laying there thinking about what I thought was a kiss, and an "aww" came out. Then, I felt another one. Woke me up and I said to Blaze, did you kiss my head? He says nooo, I was massaging my lips. Ha ha. Still sleepy, I'm thinking this was a dream.

When it came time to wake up, he rolls over and kisses my head again. I smile, knowing it really wasn't dream.

Getting a fresh haircut and Besame's post :)

[Degotoga]

A phone call, the fur gang being in rare form this morning, and knowing it's going to be an awesome day.

[~SweetCheeks~]

Waking up to hello my beautiful girl, Daddy's voice, our talks. Making my mom breakfast and cleaning her house.

[clay]

A phone call, the fur gang being in rare form this morning, and knowing it's going to be an awesome day.

Can I just tell you...I glanced rather quickly at your post & it being so little....thought I seen "gang bang"...instead of fur gang....:seeingstars: need new(er) glasses me thinks!! It WAS good for a chuckle anyway!!! Back to your regularly scheduled programming!

[Degotoga]

LOL! I think it's best for me to leave that one alone since we're in mixed company. Want a ride to the optometrist so this conversation can run around in the gutter without anyone else being subjected to it? :glasses: :blink: Not to mention, I suspect having you read the streets signs would be entertaining! :p

Oh yes..reading signs...would be good. Hearing as well...since I have new hearing aids...lol.....years of loud sirens driving ambo partly to blame AND firetrucks....yep...

[Degotoga]

Not just reading signs...reading signs with crappy glasses! I can sympathize with the hearing thing, too. I've fallen victim to the same fate, for precisely the same reason. Although, I haven't reached the point of hearing aids, yet. The fire apparatus' and ambulances are loud even when we aren't screaming down the road in them. And, as you know, they're a gathering spot for the likes of us, while they're running. Does that make us pig headed or dedicated? :eyebrow: :fireman: Must be dedication because I'm a long way from being pig headed. :innocent: Having said all that, I wouldn't trade the career choice I made many moons ago for anything in the world, dulled hearing or not.

[firegal]

booking a flight....going away is always a good thing!

[kittygrrl]

the people here make me smile a lot!

[Chad]

Lunch with work friends, we found a new place and it was yummy. Lots of fun.

[TL1]

being told I should be a hair stylist because my hair is THAT awesome lol

( but I really wish they would stop trying to embarrass me at work.... It's some evil plot I know it)

[MysticOceansFL]

Besides my family that makes me smile, yes there a person here that makes me smile at times but I don't want her to acquire a ballon ego to much it might pop! ( laughing )

[Wrang1er]

A phone call from my sister to tell me this conversation. She was driving home with my nephews who are 8 and 5. Johnston (8) asked who was taking him to his basketball game Sunday. She told him our older sister Lisa and he said it didn't feel right that Robin (me) wasn't taking him and then Jefferson (5) spoke up and said, "It doesn't feel right in my heart."

I love those kids and it make me smile knowing they love me so much.

[JustLovelyJenn]

My daughter offering to make me breakfast this morning really made me smile.

[Bèsame*]

There was an early morning errand to get some coffee to hold us over till we went to SAMs. Smiling...not only was there coffee when I woke up, but a super cute thermal tee. He knew I was cold. Can I just say...I love the smiling days!

[Lecheloco]

Thinking back made me smile

[Bèsame*]

As I lay under the covers, I hear there is a gift awaiting me. It's warm, sparkly, beautiful, you can see it from the window. But, ahhh, it's man"nip"ulative. It's cold outside....

Waiting in a parking lot before seeing my first client of the day...and there's a gorgeous young cardinal flitting around the parked cars admiring himself in all the mirrors...lol

When I got home, the infamous hill to my house was still a mess...my neighbors are all parked at the bottom of the hill. I drove my happy ass up like a boss. That hill is my bitch now. That's how northern girls play in the snow....lol

[cinnamongrrl]

A hug and a kiss from my lady as I said goodbye....she's a doter.... :)

[Bèsame*]

I was just looking at my phone and it started to ring. Blaze was less than 3 feet away, calling me. I look at him and say, are you calling me? He says answer it.

Hello?
Hi baby I just wanted to call to say I love you and thank you for dinner and especially the chocolate pudding!

[candy_coated_bitch]

Texting with my best friend and her sending me a picture of one of her dogs sleeping.

[CherryWine]

My sweet mom did. She usually sends me a package of chocolate covered strawberries every year for Valentine's Day, but I had completely forgotten about it this year. It was a very nice surprise when I got the delivery this morning. :heartbeat:
