What brought you joy today?

[lionpaw]

Remembering just how much fun my wife and I had going over and watching the Superbowl with our friends yesterday....

giggling like a teenager with my Wife

[PinkieLee]

What brought me joy today...

Waking up to a beautiful sunrise peeking through my kitchen window blinds.

Quiet ME time, just to sit & be thankful for my many blessings.

Thoughtful well wishes & words of encouragement from friends.

Double date dinner plans for sushi tonight!

[femmedyke]

waking up a blonde (!$%!$)

a hot sweaty work-out

blended strawberry, mango smoothie (made it myself) mmm

good puppies on our walk this morning

the 10 day forecast. . .

and the sun on my face.

p.s. Esther (squirrel) our little gray cat brought a few smiles to.

Flipping thru the scrapbook/album that Pajara made for me for a Valentine's/anniversary present. It's all schmoopy with photos of us and our trips, complete with handwritten and cut-out captions, and even a love sonnet. It also has plenty of space at the back to add more memories. I love her schmoopiness...
:awww:

[Soft*Silver]

Just found out today, that I am going to be a grand auntie!! My niece was suppose to pick me up to take me to an appt and she called to say she couldnt...she was throwing up. I was perturbed since the call came so close to the appt...then she said in a meek voice..." I am pregnant..." WOOOO HOOOOO!!!! Forget how late she called!

[lionpaw]

My wife and I planning our next scrapbooking projects, and I loved seeing the excitement in her eyes....

The joy of giving something to friends you care about that they will enjoy having or using.....

[Gemme]

an elderly lady in the Walmart parking lot

she walks along pushing her buggy, stops looks around and does this several times as she approaches where I'm parked.

I roll the window down and say...whatcha lookin for......?

She says MY CAR, I forgot where I parked it.....

I say what kind of car

She says a Honda

I say what color

She says black

I say 4 door or 2 door

By this time she is standing in front of my truck and she goes THERE IT IS!

LOL so my joy today was settling this nice ladies nerves a bit so she could get her barrings about her and not feel alone in the parking lot....lost

This made me smile Blade :)

It reminded me of a time last winter...I came out of the grocery store, it was snowing...and I was exhausted at the end of a very long and difficult week.

I always remember where I parked...except that day.

I was literally walking in circles in the snow, carrying my groceries, just at the end of my rope...when an elderly lady stopped, rolled down her window and says "did you lose your car?"

When I said yes, she gestured me over to her car (not scary....she was probably 75) and said, "get in honey...let's find it."

She drove up and down the rows until I found my car, then waited until I had myself and my groceries inside and the engine started before she drove away. :rrose:


If you keep the location Wal-Mart, but change the snow to buckets of rain, that would be my story. No nice folks to help me out though. I was walking all over that parking lot for 10 minutes before I found my car and when I did, I had to pour water off of my purchases before putting them in the car. :blink:

That's not why I'm joyful today though. Good things are happening!!! :cheer:

[Miss Scarlett]

Couple of things...

Gave myself an early Valentine gift of a new leather jacket, and

The unexpected and rather sudden compliment from the property manager of my office building that both cracked me up and embarassed me...LOL

[dixie]

Dang woman....You're not supposed to be telling people.

oops........ :eyebat:

[oblivia]

I said yes,so I took her home and unloaded a car full of goodies for her.Glad she now has some things to help her along.

[moxie]

Scheduled date to go to the hollers. They wanted to put me in a nice hotel at a state park 45 minutes away from where I need to be. But I need the whole experience of the town if I am going to move there from the "big city". So, they are putting me in not so nice hotel. My choice. Appalachia, here I come!

A random date night last night ~ dinner & a quick trip to the casino. We didn't win any money, but it was good to just get away for a lil' bit.

Taking a break to do a little tidying up..Feeling guilty like I should be doing more but I can never find the motivation to do it all at once, just in spurts

[Soft*Silver]

ahhhh....my daughter had me over her house tonight. She baked me stuffed shells and then a carrot cake with cream cheese icing. How lovely of a girl, this woman child is...she took care of me today. We watched her many thousand channels of cable and I was mesmerized by this half hour show of odd obsessions people had. She laughed and giggled as she watched me bug eyed talk to the tv as I was appalled at the woman who ate the stuffing out of couches and the gal who ate comet. Ewwwww....

it was a remarkably joyous evening!

[Diva]

I [finally] took Lucy in for her yearly...and she had her nails trimmed (also finally) and got all of her shots and junk (You don't wanna know that part!).

The dog whisperers were there, so she was very, very good! They said SHE was the best dog they'd had all day. :|

She may have gotten extra cookies when we got home. :)

Saying "I'm sorry" and making up with my 17 year old daughter after having been mad at her and non-communicative for over a week. I feel so much better! It so pays to take the high road, even when there is no good recipe for crow.

[Kenna]

On my way to work......

watching the returning Killdeers and a HUGE flock of Robins playing, darting about and chitter-chattering and finding blooming daffodils!!
Plus all this week, to and from work, driving past miles and miles of farm fields covered in little bright purple flowers. Whole fields of wild flowers!
It was a beautiful morning drive!
My days of deep cold Pennsylvania Winters are OVER!!

[Arwen]

Two Skype calls in one night. :hangloose:

[JAGG]

My niece calling me this morning and making me laugh when I was angry. I just got cut off by some idiot , and almost had a wreck. Which instantly ticked me off, and made me wish I could yank the non driving fu*& out of his car , and knock the dog crap out of him. Then a second later my phone rings and her sweet little excited voice announces it's ME MADDIE. hahaha I told her I was so glad she called because I was mad. I told her I was so sick of people who don't know how to drive, and she said,well maybe those people in that city don't have drivers licenses'. HAHA That made me laugh, her little 7 yr old problem detection skills, trying to fix my problem for me, so sweet. I love her!!!!!!!!!!!

[Soft*Silver]

I enjoyed having my Phinneas follow me everywhere in the house. Up and down stairs was easy for him. We did laundry. He ate while I made a meatloaf and did dishes and swept the floors. But the best of all, was laying on the couch and watching tv and doing the internet together. He snuggled into the nook of my knees and laid there as part of me.

He does need to learn manners with the kitties tho. He has never been around cats before. I have Mr Smitty who is truly a wise cat, but very much reminds me of an autistic child. He will come to me to be touched, but once my hand is on him, he has to direct the touch. I cant just pet him freely. And god forbid I try to hold him. He acts as tho i am trying to peel his skin off. I have another cat, CatFace, the bold and beautiful, a stray I took in, who has a queen bea attitude. She and Smitty often have eye wars and bat at each other at times.

Well, today, Phinneas attacked Smitty...actually tried to bite him this time...and out of nowhere, CatFace the bold and beautiful, lept in mid air and jumped on Phinneas and knocked him over, hissing and spitting and growling and cuffing him several times in rapid succession. Mr Smitty bolted for the couch and ran up behind my head where I was sitting and Phinneas jumped up in my lap and climbed ontop of my head too and hung onto my face like a baby crab...scared to death, trembling. CatFace, the bold and beautiful got on the seat of the couch and looked at me and the Phinneas. I laughed and told her I would handle it from here and patted her. Then I reassured both Smitty and Phinneas. Eventually Phinneas calmed down enough to slide down and crawl under my legs for about an hour before he could finally relax.

What really amazed me was about ten minutes after the fight was all over, CatFace, the bold and beautiful, jumped up on the back of the couch and walked up to Smitty. Now she never approaches Smitty unless its to cuff him. Not this time. This time, she touched noses with him and softly made some noises. And he made soft noises back. She stood there for a few moments and then she left. Wow. Lioness taking care of her tribe. She became my hero tonight. And Phinneas learned something important. Cats rule and dogs drool.

[SmoothButch]

After finding out that our April flight to Tokyo via NY had been canceled it worked out better in the end thanks to my baby working her magic. So, now we fly direct out of VA (where we live) and we got upgraded to economy plus roundtrip for the 15 hour flight. Saving a lot of time and money brings us joy!

[Kenna]

This morning:
for the first time this year, watching a Spring Birdie completely enjoy his "happy time" birdie bath in a mud puddle. He was having too much fun!

This evening:
having a really beautiful and bright Indigo Bunting cross my path with his little zippy-flit-flutters!

Makes me wish I had a Tree House where I could bird watch all day!

[Blade]

what about the peepers last night?

I had to leave my garden go last year at the end of the season. I couldnt tear it down and put it to bed and it had bothered me all winter to look at it.

It was such a beautiful day and I wanted to let Phinneaus run around in the fenced in area, so we went outside in the garden.

He did his little terrier dog kind of strut-march all along the parameter, grunting and growling, high stepping, then shoving his nose way deep into the ground, snorting and kicking up dirt like god needed to watch out too...lol

I had such a good laugh at the little stunted man, that I couldnt help but feel better...and I turned to my trellises and tomato stakes and started cleaning them free of leftover plant material. So brittle from the winter, they just snapped right off. Last fall they would have made me struggle to tear them away. Now it felt like I was pulling away all the hard times i had been thru, from the health issues, to the finances, to the loss of Story...I just lifted it up and removed it so easily as I watched my little guardian patrol my boundaries to make sure no harm was going to come my way...I surely felt some guidance and intervention from above at that moment. Some from my beloved Story, and some, well, some from what we all call in one form or another, god...

somehow, I think this year's garden is going to be a little different in the outcome...

I had such a good time in my garden today, with me and my dogs and my god....

Singing with my chorus this morning. Good classical music is FUN!

[justpjhere]

watching my nephew behind the wheel and seeing that nervousness in his eyes...that choppy start and brake until he found his balance.

the joy was the calmer more relaxed look and sense of pride and accomplishnment on his face at the end of the lesson...he has had a hard life and hasnt had alot of positive things, so it brings me great joy to help shape him into a good and respectful young man...

its a joy every day now to share a home with him...

I was camping this weekend, I woke up super early this morning, waaaayyy before anyone else in the campground. I walked down to the ocean all bundled up in umpty-4 layers and wrapped with a couple blankets I dug a little hole , settled in and waited for the sun to rise. Rise it did as the beautiful inky blue star spangle faded and the shore birds moved in.
It was that rare mix of awe inspiring and cozy and exactly what my soul needed.

[theoddz]

I found my most favorite of all miniseries on amazon.com......and I ordered it!!! Both parts!!!! :clap::thumbsup:

Very relaxing day!!!

[Soft*Silver]

seeing my two kitties curled up together in the recliner, sleeping, unafraid, now that the dog is gone. The kitties used to hiss and bat at each other and would barely be able to be in the same room together, let alone the same piece of furniture. Not anymore. Ever since AuntBea attacked the dog to rescue Mr Smitty, they are friends. Of course, Smitty is truly autistic and he cant tolerate being touched unless he coordinates it. So, they had to get on the chair, then he had to do the series of being upset while she let him. Finally he found the place where she could touch him and they cuddled. Beautiful and joyful....

[justpjhere]

What brought me joy today...

Spending the entire weekend with my honey, with our hands in the dirt planting flowers at the new house. We might not have a bit of furniture moved in yet, but the flowers have already made it feel like home!

My daily routine of quiet time, prayer & gratitude for the many blessings in my life.

[theoddz]

My little gang of frogs are sheer, pure joy!!! :awww::frog::heartbeat:

Late last night, Tootsie finally ventured down to the big frog water bowl where Miss Myra was having herself a leisurely midnight soak. Myra dwarfs little Tootsie and when she's in the bowl, she's even bigger because she sprawls out in order to absorb more water. Well, little Tootsie sat on the rim of the big water bowl for about 15 minutes, looking at Myra (who was looking at her) and trying to decide if she really wanted to venture in.

Finally, Tootsie gingerly climbed in beside Myra and I got a little antsy watching all this, because I always wonder if I've filled the bowl a little too much and it might be too deep for little Tootsie with her missing right back foot. I have always held a little fear in my heart that she wouldn't be able to get enough traction to get out, if it was too deep. So, I pulled up a chair and waited to see the result of all of this. Tootsie snuggled in next to Myra and then the both proceeded to stare AT ME!!! Four little black eyes fixed on me as if to say, "Whatchu lookin' at??"!!

Tootsie sat with Myra for almost 2 hours in the big water bowl. Oh, and all during this time, Ivan was sitting on top of the new big waterfall watching all of this. So, make that 3 sets of little black eyes on me. Finally, I guess little Tootsie had had enough soaking and was ready to climb out. I held my breath. At first she clamored around a bit, trying to get traction, but then I saw a little hand fly up and land squarely on the top of Myra's head. Tootsie climbed right on top of Myra's back and head (she's a BIG girl) and hoisted herself out of the water. Myra just sat patiently and allowed her to use her as a "step stool". It was the cutest thing you could imagine.....one big girl helping the little "sister". Myra is so sweet, gentle and accommodating. She's really been the heart and soul of The Big Frog House. She is my "First Frog", in every sense of the word. They simply don't get any better than her. She HAS to have a Femme soul. :awww::frog::heartbeat:

So ya.....Frogs. Pure Joy. :awww::winky:

Took a brisk walk to the bank at lunch...not a long walk about 300 years each way but quite an accomplishment since I've been somewhat under the weather lately.

[Andrew, Jr.]

*Talking with my adopted sister on the phone for 2 hours;

*Having my neighbor fix my brakes really cheap;

*Smoking my pipe while talking with my furkids;

*Going to Mass today since it's Ash Wed. (or the 1st day of Lent);

*Dropping off the dry cleaning & getting the 2 for 3 price - woohoo!

[sylvie]

- getting a brand new washer i bought delivered today...its a beauty, i've been washing everything in sight! LOL..

- hearing the laughter of my daughter and her friends over the loud music and constant chatter.. music to my ears, most days.. small things i'm really appreciating as they grow older, especially.. for soon, my children will be out on their own on life journeys of their own!

- a day in conversation, real time gazing, many smiles, being tucked in..& then watched over as i sleep...

- fresh pineapple & strawberries & melon - yumm'ish!

[Miss Scarlett]

Laughing...

[Arwen]

Today I found joy:



While watching my dogs play with a toy
While pushing my dogs off the couch so they could jump back on and tackle me
While dreaming about my D
While simply breathing


I'm truly so full of joy that I cried today just for the sheer beauty of being alive.

[cara]

Seeing co-workers from my old department and getting to have lunch with my favorite.
Receiving my friend's cookbook in the mail.
Receiving a few early birthday wishes.

[PumaJ]

Finding an old dear friend and ex-lover on Facebook, today. I think we started dating when I was 20. Maybe I was 19...I know we were together when I turned 21:-) Mutually lost phone numbers, unlisted phones, new addresses...Thank goodness for FB.

I am a happy Femme to be able to have solid friend connections now, with three of my exes.

[Cowboi]

Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sylvie]

- wearing his sweater ♥ and being all wrapped up in him as i slept last night..
- time with him & his friends last night..
- waking through the night, looking up and seeing him there..
- constant emailing with a super special femme friend who shares a similar journey to mine, and knowing we have that honest support we both need♥
- getting my self journey back in full swing again..
- spending time with my Nanny G yesterday..
- ice cold water!

[Miss Scarlett]

Was released by my doc today with instructions of course. No more meds, respiratory therapy and copays! WooHoo :cheer:

My wonderful conversation with Infinite Femme......

[Soon]

a friend who listened--no judgment

[scootebaby]

knowing that when i wake up in the morning my sweetie will be back home. :)

[Andrew, Jr.]

*Walking around Bed, Bath, and Beyond for a bridal shower gift and seeing a ton of bbq stuff out on the shelves - yay! :bbq:

*Going to Dunkin' Donuts for a small cup of joe, and ending up with free donuts that they were going to throw out! :cheesy::clap::cheer:

*I built a blue bird house 12 years ago, and today I was just glancing out the back window, and I caught a glimpse of a little head peeking out of the house! :awww::angel:

[Starbuck]

I bought concert tickets for Duran Duran!! I've been a fan since I was in middle school and I'm really excited about this!!

[Kenna]

Walking the dog (around the neighborhood in my fuzzy blue PJs) on a BEAUTIFUL sunny, spring, blue-sky morning!!! Birdies singing and the smell of yummy coffee!!!

[Dude]

my sissy dog
my fearless duck
my hella funny, kind and nutty friends. :]

[Arwen]

Today I found joy:



Listening to the mourning doves call to one another
Waking up with my cat's head snuggled in my hand
Picking up a bit of overtime
Knowing I have another chance to live a day seeking joy
Understanding that my life is a gift
Realizing that I am right where I want to be
:tea:

[Sweet_Amor_Taino]

A call from a friend telling me her husband will be working today and if I would like to hang out and go shopping. Yes! Yes!
Counting the days when I will finally be face to face with my honey 5 more days Yikes :clap:

[Kenna]

Saturday 3/12/2011
every moment every bit of this past day!!
right down to the sunny daffodils that nearly got ran over by some silly goose friend driving through the yard.....
all the way through to my hot bubble bath after gardening and up to a wonderful, relaxing, fun evening with friends....
and being able to catch up with someone that's very important to me that I haven't heard from in a long time and the conversation and laughter calming my worry....
the laughter, fun, friendship, bonding, and being able to relax and be myself all Wild and Crazy day!!
Helping to plant a Pansy garden with my gramma's favorite purple pansies :)

The END of The Dark Season!

The end of the longest, darkest, coldest, snowiest winter I can recall! My first full winter back in New England has been a true test of grit. I survived to be finally rewarded with longer days, warming temps, crocuses and daffodils. Hoorah!

[girl_dee]

Taking pictures at my favorite place ! (sigline)

[Tommi]

My new backyard gate and side fences are finished, and look great, and ...smell good. Fresh clean wooden fence.

My Zen garden was left a bit dishelved by the workmen, but gives me the opportunity to refresh the salmon colored stones and the renew the labyrinth.

[Lynn]

It brought me joy to make another purchase for our wedding. I ordered a handmade guestbook, with a carved wood cover, and a matching pen holder.

[Luv]

this morning I was checking the veggie garden mom and I planted. I had gotten some seed that said hybred..they are already sprouting and we planted them like 2 weeks ago ! Mons gonna have plenty of chili and cilantro this year !

[Andrew, Jr.]

Hank and Honey were having a blast this morning. I put out a ton of peanuts for them. Then when they were done eating the peanuts they looked at me with pittaful faces...I pointed to the suet feeder. In it was peanut flavored suet for the woodpecker. They thought they could get to it to eat. Laughing. I used vaseline on the cable. It was so funny watching the two of them slipping and slidding around. Of course they got more peanuts. Now they are resting and laying in the sun.

[Ebon]

Watching my honey do her crafts and have so much fun. Makes me happy.

Spam brought me joy today.

[Gemme]

Smoothies and cake and cookies, oh my!

[Arwen]

Being asked to create a spread for an upcoming Tarot deck has brought me amazing joy. It's truly been a secret wish for a long time.

[Andrew, Jr.]

My furkids as always! I just love them so much!

[Lynn]

Joy came in the form of a furnace repair person who got the furnace back up and running for under $400. The house got down to 60 before it was all done, which was not too bad. MUCH gratitude for the easy and relatively cheap fix.

Joy that my daughter is on the mend, after some significant illness last night and this morning.

Also, wedding related: in the mail, received satin, peep toe pumps and lovely place cards with leaves and our names and date in gold. Ordered a small, porcelain ring bowl and convo'd with the woman who is making my brooch bouquet. Much joy here!!

[Soft*Silver]

a chocolate covered marshmellow peep!

[Mtn]

Listening to her giggle at me, I love that sound!

[moxie]

After 2 months of pondering, sending emails back and forth, phone interview, driving 200 miles into the mountains, staying in roadside motel and having a 4 hour interview and lunch with an offer made in the first 10 minutes of the interview that I wasn't comfortable accepting and getting up the nerve and confidence to request negotiations and going back and forth, I finally got the offer I wanted. Looks like I will be moving to Appalachia in July!

[Gráinne]

Well, two days ago, but I just got back.

The service at Arlington for my brother. I cried, sure, but I knew he would have just loved all that formality and ceremony. It was one of the most moving moments of my life-and my kids' lives, too. I felt totally at peace about sending him off like that.

[PumaJ]

Kayso, this is really about last night. Went with my daughter & a couple of friends to see a performance by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
Beautiful, strong, and incredibly moving. Brought many smiles:-)

[Jax]

My 7 month old great nephew braxton! he is spending the day with me =)

[DamselFly]

what brought me joy today? waking up and not feeling nauseated and having a horrible migraine.
waking up to my new furkids-a whippet who has wings for feet, a cat who rasps instead of purrs and is pregnant, and big Cece who loves affection.
waking up to warmer weather, which helped me breathe better.
just...waking up with anticipation of all the new things this day might bring!
DamselFly
oh,yes, and some new clothes!

Thank you darling Belle.

I am so excited for you precious girl. Safe travels, lots of fun and love and good times. You deserve it so very, very much!!!!!!!

[PinkieLee]

What brought me joy today...

Walking downstairs this morning to find the sun coming through the french doors off the deck, seeing the flowers in full bloom and at least 10 butterflies around the jasmine. I took it all in, smiled and felt peace.

Silly weekday morning rituals to wake my honey up and that sleepy smile that makes my world just feel right.

Being able to puppy/house sit for one of D's aunts this week (and even making some extra money, too). It might not sound like fun, but this woman has a bathroom I would kill for. I see many soaks in her big ol' tub and glasses of wine in her garden.

[Arwen]

Reading PinkieLee's post brought me joy.
I think a nap will too. :)

[DamselFly]

what brought me joy today was having my dog crawl under the covers and collapse against me. having these two new dogs in my life have done more than nything to alleviate the loneliness in my life!
namaste,
DamselFly

[cinderella]

I can so relate to this, DamselFly...they are precious gifts, our pets. My 6-month old Bichon-Frise, Pinky, is my heart. She keeps me laughing and smiling all day. They are, however, a big responsibility, and require alot of work. The love part is easy - how can you resist those trusting, loving eyes. You are their lifeline - they depend on you for everything, just like a child. But these children never grow up - I think that's the best part. :) Good luck with your kiddies - you'll all bond and get closer with each passing day, and you'll wonder how you ever lived without them. :)

[shadows papa]

I finished up my LAST EVER case study prior to graduation in May! I have gained enough proficiency that it only took me 1.5 hours, start to finish, and I am now fairly fluent in speaking, writing, and reading Medicalese!! It's all over but the shouting now!! One more 5 week clinical, one comprehensive final and I will have my degree and move on to studying for my state license!!! WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!! :freak: :thumbsup:

[Gemme]

Spending time with my honey today! First, we snuggled for an hour after waking, then he willingly went shopping with me, THEN he admitted that I WAS RIGHT about the zen/quiet Wal-Mart, and then we went to Costco where he got cranky, and then we came home and have been putzing about since.

:cheesy:

[JustJo]

Playing in the pool with Rooster and the Prince :cheesy:

It was a bit chilly to start, but we got used to it pretty quick...the floaties and pool noodles got a workout....and I may have to top it up tomorrow cuz there was a whole lotta' splashing and laughing going on!

A nice, long walk during lunch with my favourite Shih Tzu;
Very smoothe, yummy coffee to sip on all day courtesy of my thermal thingy; and
Words of encouragment

[Kenna]

a beautiful sunny day....(even though I'm at home sick after a hard-to-breathe week)
and finding a BUNCH of tee-tiny, fragile, tender, little green sprouts popping through the soil in the raised gardens we planted last weekend!! :cheer::wateringgarden::wateringgarden::frog: :awww:

I was so happy that the raised beds were strong enough to survive the storm we had the other night!! All my baby sprouts were safe under their poly tarp.... not like last year when the thunder storms kept washing things out.

I'm happy and positive that the garden will be very successful this year!!!!!
And that the raised beds won't take as much back-breaking work!!

[shadows papa]

The unexpected pleasure of Miss Pink having a 3 day weekend. Laid back chillin' with her and the Pack and putting out resumes for job offers. Having my first interview and knowing that my employment options post graduation are limited only by what setting I choose to work in and where we want to be!!! Making weekend plans to go to the local Cherry Blossom festival on Saturday and the challenge of racing my mountain bike on Sunday.....LIFE is GOOD!!

A text.....

[PumaJ]

Actually, joy visited me last night when I had a very sweet phone conversation with an ex. My heart is warmed to no end by the fact that after our lovership of 11 years ended, we were able to morph the relationship into a deep and abiding friendship.

[Soft*Silver]

getting my bird feeders up that someone sent me last year!

[sylvie]

sitting within earshot of a conversation my daughter is having with her friend..and not purposely listening, but catching a few moments of what she was saying which made me really smile..

in fact - made me feel like i really have done good..
Single parenting has it's difficult moments, but moments like this, that make the heart smile knowing she hears me, learns from me and really looks up to me and loves the heck out of me.. even through my imperfections and my sillyness and embarrassing moments over the years, they really look up to me and truly do respect me now as the young adults theyre growing into...

these teenager years i was sure were turning me gray! but seems these moments will make every gray worthwhile! ♥ i sure do love the heck outta them!

[AtLast]

Hope something does soon....

:blink:

[DamselFly]

i woke up this morning with little fatigue and pain. i was able to do a complete morning's session of chanting, reading, prayer, study, and meditation at my altar, something i hadn't been able to do for a few weeks! this always brings me a feeling of deep contentment and peace, such a wonderful way to start my day.
*sending peace and joy to all*
namaste,

[DapperButch]

My dog. He does that pretty much everyday.

[Miss Scarlett]

Sitting at my favourite overlook on the BRP, enjoying my coffee and a misty, soggy sunrise - the sun struggling to be seen through the clouds covering the mountaintops...very good for the mind, body and soul...

[Turtle]

Having lunch with a friend. YAY!

[Soft*Silver]

friends gave me tons of magazines to read after my surgery while I am recovering. LOL. They dont want me up and moving around like I did last time. I hear tell they are starting up a magazine collection for me....

Watching Papa finish hys mountain bike race! Having Snack and Belle come support Shad and join us for a late lunch after! I love y'all!!!

This morning when I went to feed the outdoor critters....I found 4 TINY precious brand new babies!! I just LOVE baby animals!! Especially when they are this CUTE and have such sweet tiny ears and tiny little voices!! (however, enough is enough already!)
http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/zz72/kjs11/Babies3292011.jpg?t=1301450386

I sent a text to my roomie... "1 calico, 2 black-n-whites and 1 ORANGE baby!!!
Imagine that!! an ORANGE kitty to go with Blade's collection of Tennessee fan club stuff!

The other thing that brought me joy....finding a foster home today for ALL the babies and momma cat. I get one night with my sweet babies, then they get to go to a really good home where they will get all the care/vet visits they need and then put into a No Kill adoption program!! That makes me very happy for them.

[Oiler41]

Getting to Level 41 in Pirates of the Caribbean Online game! Yeah!

[Soft*Silver]

I brought in my "greenhouse" which is nothing more than a stacked set of shelved with plastic over them, with a zippered door. I think I can get my daughter to haul in topsoil and help me load up trays. I have to get the squash families started. I am already a couple weeks behind but thats not too bad.

I decided I am going to go thru the motions. If nothing else, my niece can sell the starts at her garage sale in May. If I am lucky, I can plug them into some raised beds I hopefully can pay someone to put up if my SSDI checks get here fast enuf. I have one in the makings, setting out back, ready to be assembled.

I got cat litter buckets today from garden friends so I could plant some potatoes.

My joy comes because I havent lost hope. And because I do have faith I will still be able to garden. No considering how I feel right now, and how long lasting this ordeal has been, most other would have given up.

But I plan on eating from my back yard this year....

Glad to see the gardening going on. This May 15th, I will plant my 7th Rose Bush out front. One for every year post diagnosis of endometrial cancer.

Question> Potatoes in plastic buckets. I have lots of those in the garage. Saved, because I knew they would come in handy someday.

[Soft*Silver]

here is a fella who has a whole set of videos that goes step by step on potato buckets!

[Soft*Silver]

the other thing buckets are good for, is compost tea. Stick manure in the bucket, about 1/4 full, add water, stick it out in the sun and let it sit for a few days, with the lid on or off. I like the lid on. It brews it like sun tea. Wonderful nutrients for your garden.

[Sweet_Amor_Taino]

Knowing its all going to be OK and soon I will be traveling

Something new and sparkly :awww: and the little road trip required to obtain it!!!!!

[Kenna]

Actually, it was Saturday, but I couldn't stop thinking about this little guy....
http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQpqri4IWiv1RHhrwYgKMgNsOYtf3X6u KCtyuZlwVE16Ezbx9p0cg

a Prothonotary Warbler
Blade has lived here nearly all his life and he's never seen one of these birdies before...
We were out hiking and he called my attention to the TINY bright, BEAUTIFUL little guy perched along the water's edge, patiently waiting for a tasty bug to catch.
He was STUNNINGLY beautiful and so fascinating to watch. And I didn't have a camera with me!!
We both agreed we had never seen one before...ever...and wondered what he was.... later, I went back with camera in hand, but could never find him again. They must be rare around here because we are both HUGE outdoor fans and visit all the parks, lakes and mountains....you would think this bright yellow little guy would find it hard to hide?


This little guy and his brightly colored unique self brought me much joy!! It's not every day you find something so unique and special.
And having a Hiking Buddy that enjoys stuff like this just as much as I do....

Finally coming up for air and leaving the office...at nearly 7... a totally crazy day :seeingstars: but by golly i got things wrapped up and ready for Court in the morning...Alas, there is a down side to being salaried rather than hourly...

[Butterbean]

I put my hair up in a nice fluffy bun and took a long hot bath this morning. Then, I put on some of my favorite old clothes-an old shrunken, discolored cotton shirt, and an extra ugly pair of gray sweat pants. Then, I got wild and called and cancelled my dentist appointment. Then, I wrote a dumb ass essay I had to. Then, I made extra fancy tuna melts.

Hell if I know why. This has been a nice day.

[PinkieLee]

What brought me joy today...

Waking up feeling well-rested, refreshed & ready to start the day.

Looking through the french doors and seeing my beautiful variegated bougainvillea in full bloom (I didn't take a picture, but this is pretty close to what it looked like... )

2nd: Talked to my photographer today, working on finalizing the details of my next photo shoot. We may get to do it as early as Sunday! Woot woot!

My wife's last day of work at the asylum (coworkers).

[Arwen]

I just did a reading for a repeat client. I told her that last April she would meet someone. She told me tonight that the man she met last April was moving in with her this month. :) I'm always so excited to hear things like this. Talking to her and doing another set of readings for her brought me amazing joy--even if it did wear me out to do a 1.5 hour reading. OY. :)

[AtLast]

I remembered to bring my new binolulars with me to the dog park so I could get a better look at shore birds (it is located at a point in the SF Bay). They are continuing to build back their numbers during feeding time after our oil spill here a few years ago.

Such good news- obviously, the food supply is in a restorative phaze. Plus, they will lay egs nearby in the swampy grassy areas (it is restricted for dogs- so is the beach on the Bay during low tide so the birds can feed).

I really missed them and am really enjoying daily sightings. My little dog stays very quiet and just sits next to me on the banks and doesn't make any moves toward them. He is a very good little birder! He has never attempted to chase them. Guess he understood my lecture about all the rules and the bird cops...

Just enjoying Spring warmth in general and taking some hikes.

Planting my new lil' herb garden that my boo's mom bought me. It came complete with the soil pellets, seeds (sweet basil, chive & parsley), pots and little stand. The box guarantees growth... we shall see :)

Waking up to another gorgeous spring day.

Seeing a family taking pictures in the patch of bluebonnets.

Plans tonight to crack open a bottle of wine, cook dinner and just let the world slow down for a bit!

Nice! Congratulations! There was one of these parked outside my office this afternoon.

Watching the dogs happily run amuck in the back yard after working 11 hours. Peppa remembering that the yard is NOT only to play in. YEAH PEPPA!! Watching Peppa tear the leather off the hole in the couch that someone who remains unnamed has forgotten to tape.. realizing "oh she is ripping the couch!" 5 secs later.. lol. Gotta love being brain dead from work.
