someone was worried about me and took measures to make sure I was protected where I was going tonight. Long story....involving domestic violence, not mine but a friend of mine and a probability of it spilling over on me while we were out tonight. Well, this person made sure that was not going to happen.
I havent had that happen before. Just pretty damn awe struck...

My friends.
My loving, generous friends.
A touching extension of generosity, between friends, today; reminded me that -
No matter how rough things get (and for fucksake they've been rough for all of us) none of us are ever without: a hot meal & a warm bed; a place to cry & copious reasons to laugh; a ride, a dog walk, a cuppa coffee; the space to fall apart & the support to rebuild; and the assurance that we are not alone.
I am wealthy beyond measure.

At this moment, I'm kicking back in my lovely sunroom glancing at the black/purple/orange halloween lights decorated around the bannister of the deck, which are reflecting off the glass slider, while listening to Smooth Jazz.
I'm in a relaxed state of mind and nothing can keep me from feeling pretty content right now. I'm so in the zone....
It was a cool, but sunny day here, so I took my Mom to the Arboretum, for a picnic lunch. We watched the geese, ducks, and squirrels, and then wandered through the flower beds, on our way back to the car. I enjoyed it very much, and the fact that Mom was so delighted, made me very happy.

I have a little story for my JOY of the day.
I have a new student in my classroom who is very antisocial. Given a choice he goes back to our classroom and interacts only with teachers or other students from our room. Today at lunch he asked me where I thought he should sit because he still doesn't know anyone. I had him sit with a group of kids that included a young lady from his grade.
When they were released from their tables at lunch, instead of wanting to go straight back to our room he chose to stay out in the commons. A short time after that, the young lady he had be sitting with came over and invited him to hang out with her.
In the end, the two decided to go outside and walk with me for the remainder of their lunch time.
This is the FIRST voluntary social interaction that my student has shown since he started with us 3 weeks ago!!!
WHAT A JOY TO SEE!!!

For some sick and twisted reason I found it hilarious that I could not get anything done today that even remotely involved a state office or agency....even went to the police station to get some records and was politely informed by the woman sitting at the desk that we are once again on a mandatory statewide furlough and that there was no one in the office to print anything up....LOL so of course I automatically think and politely ask her so hmm if it is a mandated furlough and there is nothing this office can provide for the public then why are you even here? Doesn't make any sense...why have one or two people in these offices that are on furlough when they can't even provide or help anyone with anything...seems like a waste of money to me but nevertheless I got a kick out of it.

a little message that said "Under Consideration"
Ummmm :deepthoughts: it was brought to my attention tonight at dinner, that maybe I should clarify what I meant by the above? And that my housemate was "just waiting" to see what the responses were to my post.
We got a big kick out of my embarrassment and "OH NO WAY!! You're kidding?".....and "...they'd be askin' for my consideration..."
I was gonna clarify....but after careful thought and a few really good laughs.... why clarify when ya'll can have fun with it? Who cares what I really meant with it? I don't need to put EVERYTHING out there for everybody, their uncle and my stalkers ;) ;) .... so I say HAVE FUN WITH IT!! :cheesy:
Making children laugh....and their parents, too.....

So it brought me joy to find a home for about $150 worth of new or almost new jeans. The joy was giving them to someone I know.

enjoying a very good, restful nap where I rested much more than last night...(until Tashi and other muttlies started barking at some crazy squirrel teasing them)
watching all the kitties and muttlies be so happy when fed soft food so I can fatten them up for winter...
Enjoying a nice, peaceful evening and a yummy homemade crispy chicken & bacon ranch salad dinner...
knowing I can cuddle & snuggle under my favorite quilt, handmade by my best friend, on this very chilly night...as she said it's like "wrapping yourself in a hug"...
bad feelings and stress being evaporated by a beautiful day....

The memories of my Grandmother, who died today at 101. She was an amazing, strong, graceful, bossy and always perfectly dressed! I will scan a picture today and post it of her.
I got my sense of style and grace from her. She always wore Coty's Airspun powder since the 20's and I wear it to this day to smell like her. Millions of times I heard her say, "Just give me a minute to put on my lipstick and powder my nose."
http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n111/DeborahIsadora/airspun.jpg
She was my childhood joy. She had more shoes and purses than me. She was a determined and an amazing woman. She is now with my Grandfather, probably bossing him around.
I loved her. She was a joy in my life.
May the fairies meet her in Avalon. May they dance with her through gently falling apple blossoms to Benny Goodman.

Later he said, "let me try to get her now", and proceeded to shout for her again. She finally came to the phone, but it was such a treat to talk with him, sounding all grown-up like a little man.

I spent five hours panicking...
then my niece called and said she had it..I had brought a turkey over for a holiday event and never brought the roaster home.
OMG...I was so overjoyed not to have lost it...I have lost so many things over the last decade due to break ups. Thank heavens I have it!

They are very GOOD!!! Way too good. She made so many I thought I'd give most of them to my sister and her kids, I can't possible eat that many. But after tasting them, I think, I can probably eat that many. HAHA And besides I need to gain a little weight.

I know this probably sounds corny but snuggling with my boy cat makes me smile. Mimi and I do not snuggle that much in warm weather but he sure seeks it out when it is cold. He will get right up in my face and meow in a very demanding manner. I look to the food bowl, then the water bowl and the litter box to make sure all is right in his world. Then I know he is telling me to lay down and take him in my arms.
Which I do. He will close his eyes the instand I start petting him and he purrs softly always. After a few minutes, he will sigh deeply and twist and contort himself around to where his head is tucked up under my neck with his ear to my breast. His little paws folded under him with his rear paws tucked under my breasts. He will sleep there for two, three or more hours. He will get up to eat or whatever and maybe fifteen minutes he is back for more cuddling.
I have been a cat lover all my life but have never known a cat to snuggle like this or for such a long period of time.
Mimi, is a rescue from a mean lady that went off and left him last Dec. He had been visiting me almost daily since I moved in almost three years ago. I was so angry with her leaving him like that especially in the beginning of winter. He continued the visiting until Dec. 24th when I just had to bring him inside. He has been inside ever since. The first few months he made my life hell with howling first in one bedroom window and then across the room to the other. I tried to find him a home for awhile. But he is here to stay.
So yes, when he gets down to snuggling with me it makes me smile and I do not feel so alone.

I bought a thicker one but it also wasn't quite thick enough. I had that light bulb moment and combined the down in both pillows to make the perfect pillow for me. Well after I moved my pillow came up missing. This was about 4 months ago. I was pretty upset and I must have complained about it enough to where my brother was going to buy me a new pillow LOL! Well, my brother found my pillow today!!!!!!! I literally felt joy!!!!!! And I'm honestly looking forward to going to sleep tonight *sheepish smile*

You're welcome. I discovered this gem several years ago on Ovation. It is amazing. Unfortunately it's not in their lineup this year. (Trivia - they use about 20 lbs of glitter confetti at each performance.)
Men en pointe made me shudder. I have a cousin who danced with the Joffrey many years ago (when Ron Reagan, Jr. was there). She weighed about 5 lbs (not really, more like 95) and her feet hurt all the time and would actually bleed from her toe shoes. If she went through that I don't want to think about what the men experience.

Anyway...cost is $90, plus spending money...and half has to be in by December 15th.
I signed his permission slip, wrote the check...and then wrote the teacher a note and told her I'd like to "scholarship" in a hard-working kid who deserved to go, but who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it.
Lots of people are out of work....and that's a lot of money right before Christmas if you are.
It felt good. :rrose:
