Say Anything Nice Today!

[kittygrrl]

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!

[A. Spectre]

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!

[Gemme]

I've got a great start to the day today!

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.

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

[kittygrrl]

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.

[kittygrrl]

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

:cookielove::wateringgarden::carride:

[Gayandgray]

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:

[TL1]

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.

[kittygrrl]

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

:wateringgarden:

[Smiling]

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

[C0LLETTE]

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.

[C0LLETTE]

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.

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!

A pretty little orange butterfly landed on my forehead this morning while I was outside. ~:~

[Zimmeh]

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

[Gemme]

I had the day off today.

[Gayandgray]

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

[kittygrrl]

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..

[stargazingboi]

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

[C0LLETTE]

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

[kittygrrl]

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

[not2shygrrl]

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 ?

I don't have to be a meanie poo poo head today!

One customer actually called me that one time.

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.

[stargazingboi]

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

[Gemme]

I didn't have an auction today, won't have one next month and I don't have to lien any customers this month either. Massively good things!!!

[Gayandgray]

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

"We are all mature, until somebody pulls out the bubble wrap-" :)<<<guilty

Bubble wrap is actually therapeutic! I love it!
I often tape bubble wrap to the floor of my classroom so the children can walk on it... pr sit on it, or roll on it, or jump on it... or whichever way they choose to pop them!

[Gemme]

I am over 40 hours and I still have a few more hours tomorrow to work. Yay for OT!

[Leigh]

my parents bought me a new tablet and I'm using it now yay :-)

Life is as good as my thinking has chosen to view things...

I choose a warm and grateful.heart...
To see the last few cookie crumbs...not the empty jar

I finally found a way to brush my dogs teeth that they don't hate! 50-50 baking soda and coconut oil with a few drops of mint breath freshener

woot!!

[kittygrrl]

It's beautiful..You need to see it at least once in this life :heartbeat:

One thing I love about New Mexico is green chile is considered a staple. When you eat out you can have it with anything - I enjoyed it with my hamburger yesterday and eggs and hash browns today.

Mr. Potato :dog: isn't scared of much, but if he sees me pull any kind of bubble wrap/puffy plastic looking thing out of a box I just got from the mail, he moves far away. :|

I think he just hates the sound.

I must confess that sometimes I read posts a little too quickly and am mystified but then I just shrug and, wanting to be supportive and positive, I tell myself: "They must have had a good reason."

This to say that I could not understand why you were taping bubble gum to the classroom floor.

I thought about it for a while. First, I wondered why bubble gum needed to be taped at all. Then I decided it was a brilliant teaching moment: a civics class and a lesson on being environmentally responsible by showing kids how it horrid it is when you step on gum on the sidewalk and can't get it off your shoes.

I don't think I should be trusted with the Nuclear Codes.

i prefer walking on the larger bubbles of bubble wrap. in fact, i just had a package delivered and i'm hoping it contains the big bubbles.*

* i need to get out of the house more often.

[kittygrrl]

It's not hard to say something nice today...the Colorado river is outside my door and it's very tranquil here...I am anticipating a beautiful dinner and for once it's not me preparing it...I could learn to love this:theisland:

[kittygrrl]

cijs coffee feels incredible this morning...I am trying to think what I might love more....Cocoa?:blink:but shhhh don't tell coffee!

[not2shygrrl]

When it gets cold I could hang with the cocoa! Add to that spiced chai tea but only up until 1 pm due to the caffeine...... Sam's club sells a can of spiced chai tea ( or otherwise called masala chai ) sort of like hot cocoa, and I get excited just smelling it! What a lovely thought! TY

[Gemme]

My skin has a really lovely glow in the morning light. I am really liking my new body wash.

[stargazingboi]

the other day I had a filling fall out of my front tooth (bonding doesn't stay like other material does) and today I got it fixed and it only took a few minutes!! can't beat that right?!

[~SweetCheeks~]

Those morning cuddles before the bustle of the day were amazing.

[Smiling]

When I awoke this morning, it felt like I was lying in a cool, snug, cocoon of love. I found myself all rolled up in the bedspread like a crepes Suzette because the a/c was really working well.

I wonder if that's what it feels like to be an ingredient.

[Lyte]

Very happy it's no longer 100 degrees! Woo hoo!!!

[kittygrrl]

Hey..rain greeted me when I got home last night..got me high, the energy was electric.

I have become such good friends over the years with my
(Straight) hair stylist.... she is going through a rough time and she said how much she appreciates my friendship...
Warm hugs at the right time are good gifts to give.
:)

[Gayandgray]

The summer rain is pretty.

[TL1]

I hear thunder.....
And there's a tiny bit of coolness in the air.



Very nice :)

[BullDog]

I am here to say something nice about kittygrrl!

(yes take a screenshot of this too)

Seriously, what a kind, nice, supportive friend. And she makes me laugh and laugh. Thank you my friend!

[BullDog]

I want to say something nice about Orema!

What a fabulous, kind, smart, interesting, supportive friend! And her taste in music is amazing. I listen to her album-length jazz videos all the time while I am working. Thank you for being such an incredible friend!

(gee I hope these fabulous femmes don't mind me outing them for being friends with such a scoundrel, ha ha)

What a surprise. Thank you.

You bring out the best in people, Bully, and you return the favor 10 fold—you're a good friend to me, too.

And I second what you wrote about kittygrrl. She's sweet, kind, and smart. Lucky me to call you both my friends.

[Gemme]

It's nice to see such a lovefest in here this morning!

[FireSignFemme]

Such helpful, caring people here on the planet! Thanks to those of you who took the time to help me resolve the problem I was having this morning I appreciate it so much, it was very kind of you :)

[kittygrrl]

Orema & BullDog you are two the nicest people Ive ever had the pleasure of getting to know. We are on this road together. May it end happily for each of us.

Another day, another chance to get it right......

[Gemme]

I woke up. That's a win right there.

As a bonus, it's raining and that means cooler temps today. Woot.

[kittygrrl]

Currently, it's 58 degrees with a forecast of showers..so grateful!

[clay]

My chosen family here means the world to me. They stand by me,encourage me, and still love me when I fall down.....I cherish these folks!

It's 55 degrees, January 11th in Upstate NY.

Pardon me, please forgive me for being a little crass, but I've had a "shitty, mother-fu**ing day with every one acting like no-account shith***s. Wish
I could put all of them in a mosh pit so they could injure one another. Let
those dirtbags get what they deserve."

Thank you very much for your kind attention to my issue. You are so sweet
to listen to my problem as I'm sure you have things that deserve your greater
attention.

(a joke...get it)

Y'all have a great, fruitful and prosperous day, tomorrow.

One of the only nice things about this village is their snow removal

All town streets are passable and salted. All businesses are back

to normal. They have some awesome snow removal service. We

are planned to get another Nor'easter in a few days. It will be the 4th

in the past 2 weeks. We ordinarily get one every couple of year. We're

not on the coast, but up near Montreal.

[girl_dee]

The weather is amazing !!!
