[Massive]

Feeling like I no longer have the weight of the world on my shoulders for once, it's been a long time.

Get to see Flogging Molly this year after all.....and on the beach! Hells yeah.

Plus a bunch of other good players.

Was thinking the lineup was going to be lame form what folks were speculating, but it ended up bringing me MUCH JOY!!!!!!

[Alurra]

I spent about 3 hours loading 300+ family photos that I have taken over the years onto a digital photo frame my sister gave to my parents. After dinner we just watched it and reminisced (at least until the UConn Huskies--womens basketball-- game came on.) It was really nice. They keep telling me how much they love it.

[Daktari]

Day 8......

[spritzerJ]

Our long end of the day chat. That we touched on the present and future. That no matter the when and where the opening to possibilities abounds. Faith seemed simple and mysterious at the same time. And while I usually want the answers I feel too content to dissect it at all. There is always more.

[softheart]

I finally got my house in Iowa sold!!! It only took 14 months. :seeingstars: I will get a nice check at closing and starting next month, I will only have 1 house payment. WoooooHoooo.

[Queerasfck]

Getting a plan underway.

Setting exciting goals for our future.

Just loving life in general.

[nekohl]

I helped clear out my sister's stuff from the parent's garage this afternoon. Going through boxes, pictures, poofy prom dresses!!! We came across her cassette tape collection then commenced singing, laughing, reminiscing. Of course dad and I did all the heavy lifting as my sister has an aversion to most forms of physical activity. Even so, it was a great afternoon :)

[Scorp]

Sitting across from my wife at the dinner table as we both took the first bite of the delicious roast and roasted veggies we cooked for dinner. There was silence with lots of "mmmms". Sometimes you just don't have to say anything except "pass the gravy honey".....

[Parker]

My dogs :)

[MissItalianDiva]

The UPS tracker I have on my house telling emailing me about a package due to be here tomorrow that I didn't order...lol time to act shocked. Got to love Valentines Day

[spritzerJ]

That all it takes is chocolate chip cookies to blast the kid out of the tub to finish her class valentines. Phew, bedtime delayed was worth it to see her work so hard on writing everyone's name. I only got to write the name of the mean boy who hit her today.

[Soft*Silver]

taking off in my dually for a joy ride. First time since my surgery that I went for a ride. I had gone to the dollar store one block away a couple weeks ago and damn near passed out at the register but I was feeling much better and decided to try it. God it felt so good to feel independent again!

[Butterbean]

It's pink and red day and today I go get my photographs. Finally, after taking 6 months to get around to it. lol

[Rockinonahigh]

Being able to injoy this day with a special person,you know who you are,thank you for comeing into my life.(f)(f)(f)(f)

[TimilDeeps]

Bringing my mom flowers for Valentines Day.

[Okiebug61]

Looking at the big ole smile on Red's face when she got home from work to day and I had her favorite meal on the menu and all she had to do was change clothes and relax. I love pleasing her and she loves me cooking for her. :-)

[Rivkeh]

....poodle kisses :)

[1QuirkyKiwi]

Lots of kittie snugles and the sun is shining, with blue sky; it’s warm like a Spring day and nature’s colour palette can be seen and all the snow has melted. :)

[Daktari]

...seeing the morning.

[Kenna]

Co workers that support me and encourage me every day, giving me new hope that all my efforts are not in vain.

Living in the middle of nowhere beautiful country brought me joy today on a sunny day... then it felt good that even so far out of town, the local police still take the time to look out for my safety and cared enough just to check on me after some questionable individuals were apparently up-to-no-good at the end of my drive lane.
I love small town communities where people still look out for their neighbors.

Had a good day.... mostly besides being exhausted

Thinking about spending time with my nieces.

And puppy snores bring me joy.

[deedarino]

Putting on my tight pants...that weren't so tight, Pinterest, chocolate covered strawberries one of my co-workers brough to work, my kitties saying hi when I got home, and my new found "place".

[christie]

Online check-in that scored bulkhead seats on BOTH flights!! (That and realizing I have about 4.5 hours to takeoff!)

Knowing I have tomorrow off, finally a day of quiet.

Going to Church today, always a source of joy.

Texting with my 11year old niece this afternoon and sending her pictures of Epcot.

Zimmeh

[WickedFemme]

Everything; being home with my 'boy' and my dog, giving my dog a bath, making a fabulous tomato sauce, having a wonderful dinner, the quiet and peace at home, working a little on a grant (but wasn't stressing it), feeling grateful for all the happiness in my life and not taking on stuff that isn't mine.

[RockOn]

We had a very good turnout at our 6:00 Women's Recovery meeting tonight. Several new ladies came - not new to recovery but new to the area. Some meetings are more serious than others but tonight was mostly a good time - lots of laughter.

[Turtle]

Holding my grandbaby all evening....swooning...

[ruffryder]

CHATTING WITH FRIENDS. ANOTHER DAY WITH MY DAUGHTER . . .

[genghisfawn]

An old friend from university is staying with me for a few days, and we just got back from Montana's for AYCE ribs. He has a food-baby, I have a food-baby, and we're both pecking away at our computers in companionable silence. I'm grateful for his friendship.

[WolfyOne]

Those I love and adore brought me all kinds of joy

When I struggle and can't or won't ask for any help, I still feel blessed

[girl_dee]

a 5 minute lay down that turned into hours...

kinda regret that NOW :|

[1QuirkyKiwi]

Sleeping in until 8AM and waking up to sunshine and blue sky. :)

Opening the windows to feel a warmish day.....has Spring finally Sprung? :)

[Canela]

Waking up to this day and feeling really optimistic about it and some really trying things I've been dealing with. Thanking God for the hope and joy He gives me.

[RNguy]

Today I found out something that I have been trying my dangdest to figure out . Although that answer sucks and hurt to find out however at the same time it has brought me joy to know my answer because it is now relieving closure to me . Deception sucks but closure and answers are joyous to get :)

[gotoseagrl]

so far, having a moment of silence and peace before work.

[Daktari]

A clearer path to Munich.

[kvedd]

My daughter..because even though she has been whinny all day just one look into her baby blues and I forget all about how frustrated I am :baby:

[foxyshaman]

I get to go to a play tonite. I am all excited. I have NO idea what it is about, but it was free ticket.

I saw a flyer for the Ballet in town performing with Taiko drummers. Now that I have to see. I have never been to the Ballet, but oohhhh those drummers give me the finest of all feelings...

[girl_dee]

a client who stayed home today because her feet hurt so bad.

she came to see me

she left feeling SO much better !!!

another client who was 88 and a butch i am sure of it, was unsure of Reflexology, by the time she left she was blowing me kisses on the way out !!!

[softheart]

His voice and this upcoming weekend with him !!!

[1QuirkyKiwi]

I love watching the Taiko Drummers performing. I'd love a Taiko drum to add to my wee collection of tribal drums, but they are hugely expensive!

I'm not a Ballet fan, yet, I saw Swan Lake and I loved it, lol!

Have a great evening! :)

[1QuirkyKiwi]

Another Spring like day and seeing Spring flowers and a Heron as I walked back from the Post Office. :) There was a couple of Birdwatchers watching the Heron and pointing it out to passers by. :)

[foxyshaman]

I love watching the Taiko Drummers performing. I'd love a Taiko drum to add to my wee collection of tribal drums, but they are hugely expensive!

Taiko drummers are amazing. And if truth be known those drummers work hard. Really hard. Amazing stamina in their arms and torso. Anyway... They are expensive drums.

I am sure after I see this I will be daydreaming about dancing. Going home and trying some of the steps they were doing...all the while hoping i don't twist my ankles... :blink:

[Skittlesluver]

Early morning phone conversation that started my day our perfectly..and those nice bagels that were given to me by a sweet person :mohawk:

[Soft*Silver]

I knew 2012 was going to be the good year!

I went to my eye surgeons today. I was suppose to have surgery on my left eye as my retina was tearing again, or so the Dr thought.They had been filled with a vaseline like substance and I couldnt see well out of them, and the glass plate they put over my eyes to work on them (with a hole in the middle, like a lifesaver)made them hurt, along with putting pressure on the eye itself. BUT, the important thing is, NO SURGERY!

JOY JOY JOY JOY!!!:hangloose:

[girl_dee]

my crazy wonderful life

happiest i've ever, ever been.



i hate when i feel mushy......

[Metro]

one solid hour of my pup wagging, mushing, kissing and, yes, smiling because i returned home after a long weekend out-of-town. she then finally settled down cuddling next to me and is sleeping all cozy-like.

:awww:

[Kenna]

while I was at dinner, I missed a call.... just checked voicemail ....THEY CALLED ME FOR THE INTERVIEW THAT I'VE WAITED FOR NEARLY A YEAR FOR and faced many frustrations with the app process and their reposting job several times. .... I know a certain person that will not be happy with me getting a job where I get to mandate how she does her's... she can eat crow!! HAPPY DANCE!!! ..... as a friend says "I GOT THIS!!"

Also... they offer much better benefits! !!

It's about time my hard work pays off!

[girl_dee]

my pup being back to normal after her spay...

[1QuirkyKiwi]

Yesterday was a gorgeously warm Sunny Spring day with the temperature at 18 degrees and seeing Bees, Ladybirds, a Squirrel and various Spring flowers.

[Daktari]

Woohoo! I'm meeting the Fag Father for coffee shortly. He's been eschewing all invites for coffee and chats since Christmas whilst he's wallowed in winter blues.

The Kraken Wakes :thumbsup:

[justkim]

6 soft pink tulips... simple things I tell you...

[Cid]

The support I've been getting from family and friends on the board and at home. You really don't know the impact that it makes on me, but I've found the strength to get through anything because of the support that I've been given. Thank you all so very much!

[sylvie]

- knowing He has my shampoo, & things in the bathroom for me still, my clothes in the bedroom & that it's all been moved with Him & my presence is always around Him, even when we're distanced ♥
- my parents & family being so good about my going away, & understanding and loving my genuine happiness...
- staring at my tickets to Oregon, at least every hour to be sure they're still here & unharmed, lol...& will be awaiting His pinch when i arrive at the airport Wednesday night to ensure i'm not dreaming! *smiles*

A movie date

[TheDreadPirateRoberts]

A movie date

and you totes picked the BEST movie for us...

[PaPa]

I got both of my submitted papers back with perfect scores on each. Now if I can just buckle down and read. I don't wanna. LOL!

[Kenna]

I ROCKED THIER WORLD!! After their responses, expressions, questions, true engagement and interest (no glassed-over eyes) , and such a high level of connection between myself and the two very accomplished individuals that interviewed me.... I BET they didn't except for me to walk through their door today. I felt respected and honored for all my years of hard work. I felt the passion for my career return ...and felt how they were very receptive and intrigued .....I felt as if I blew them and their expectations out of the water because they never expected my level of experience and project management skills ......never in my life have I had such an awesome interview! ! I felt like I had reached the top of Mt. Everest and stood there on top the world when I felt the respect and value they gave me. I was finally in the presence of fellow Program Managers that KNOW how difficult and intense it is to run a public entitlement program. I felt AWESOME and inspired and like they truly listened to me. I felt joy because I felt the excitement and purpose return to my inner -spirit.

I did a Happy Dance all the way home!!

[Kenna]

I ROCKED THIER WORLD!! ........

A safe place to land....unpacking my boxes and putting things away. It is nice to finally have a place I can call home and not feel like I am going anywhere soon. Watching my dog interact with my roommates dogs and seeing the happiness in her eyes. Finally finding out that no matter what, I am my own bestfriend.

I :stillheart: Powell's bookstore!!!! Any store where you can buy or check out a book AND get a tasty beverage is a good place to be. :)

The traffic, however, is not my friend. Portland's confusing to me.

[JAGG]

I found a 5 dollar bill in the parking lot at work. I love it when that happens ! =)

[WomenMoveMe]

A telephone call that let me know all was well. Amazing what the mind can do when left to run rampant. Not only is all well...it is as it should be.

Yes... and I get to experience Portland on my own tomorrow morning at 8am!! EEEKKK... Good thing for Map quest. Although they are closing the main road for 8 days... not really sure what the alternate routes are...

I am really hoping I leave there with a job offer!! I know that is wishful thinking but she was very excited to get me in there for an interview.

WOW that is so awesome!! I wish more parents were like this. I didnt find out until after my mother passed away that she knew I was gay. So sad, I never got to actually talk to her about it. I know she would love Damon.

Sitting and watching the sun setting over the trees and feeling the warm Summer…..err…..Spring breeze gently against my skin.

Driving to campus with the windows down, enjoying a gorgeous sunny spring day, listening to my 80s playlist and thinking about how fortunate I am to have the life I do.

Realizing just how lucky of a girl I am.

Yellow Irises
Lots of sunshine with the perfect temperature
Happy birdsong
Fields of yellow buttercups...recalling childhood memories of buttercups.
tiny wild purple snapping dragons
Countless sapphire blue dragonflies buzzing around the pond
Wild lavender Flocks in little patches next to the pond
White Star of Bethlehem covering the ground between the Crape Myrtle
A whole row of Redbud trees
Finding a young Japanese Red Maple tree planted near the house in full bloom
and watching the Teeee tiniest itty bitty tadpoles I've ever seen...they enjoy my pond as much as I do.

I have my very own Botanical Gardens :) :)

[PaPa]

I called about a practicum site again today and the woman remarked at how I have been having a hard time getting her all week and she was just headed in for a group session. She said she was going to turn the phone over to her secretary and she would give me the telephone number of the main facility to speak to Human Resources. I got the number, the name, and extension. I called and she told me she would call back the woman I just spoke to and have her do an interview. I would have an application to fill out and I needed to talk to her again in the afternoon. So I called this afternoon and this woman tells me she really doesn't want to do an interview, but she wanted to let me know there is much more involved than just apply and interview. I would have to go through fingerprinting, child abuse clearances, federal clearances, etc...and asked if I had a problem with that. I told her I had no problem with any of that and actually already had my child abuse clearances. She informed me she wanted new ones because of how old these were. I said ok - that would be fine. I asked if all of the paperwork would go through by the end of May and she said we will make it work. Soooo...she asked me to call her cell phone on Sunday to make an appointment for Monday. It looks like I am in! this woman is also working on her Master's degree AND is the sister of a gentleman I have not seen in years, but used to be friends with. Her and her brother also know my parents from attending the same church years ago when my parents were still able to do that. It sounds like a good situation and after the conversation I felt a BIG HUGE weight lifted off of my shoulders. Have I said lately how blessed that I am? I truly am blessed. :cool:

BED PARTIES! - No, it's not always something dirty. Except when it is!

A "bed party" consists of getting in bed on Saturday afternoon surrounded by food, drinks, books, card games, and anything else you think you might need. Sometimes you'll play the radio while you lounge with your lover playing cards. Sometimes you're playing your new Playstation 3 on the big screen. Sometimes you're sexing it up. Sometimes you're just laying there talking about what you would do with a billion dollars.

It's the most decadent way to waste an entire day with your lover.

JOY.

[clay]

My joy this week...was ebing able to go to my GF;s for a week..and seeing her town, being with her, and just sharing her space.

I so loved it...was awesome...enjoying some time with her, doing errands, and making some awesome lowcountry boil!!!! YUM! ty BFF for picking me up and returning me....:). I miss you madly!!! :).

[sylvie]

- pretty tissue paper, markers and fun decorative stuff to make my suggestion boxes for work for my weight loss support group, i love being crafty, this'll be fun!
- thinking of Daddy while i was at work, and in that very instant, a text message... and knowing He was thinking of me at that very moment too <3

A quiet, peaceful Easter weekend with absolutely beautiful weather ... company of good friends ... delightful breakfast each morning ... hugging a good friend that we bumped into at the restaurant, finding her in good health and good spirits ... waking up to find teee-tiny tender veggie plants peaking their tops through the soil and getting excited about planting a garden soon... coming home to a beautiful, peaceful farmhouse ....and puppy cuddles from two love bugs

[Turtle]

A little girl, in her pink dress, on her pink bike - riding as fast as she could...with her iridescent streamers flying straight back...

[Kenna]

Sitting under the oak trees .. with a slight, refreshing breeze... waiting on the coals to be ready to grill my favorite wings... the quiet of the country .. comfort ...a day at my own pace... hanging laundry out for the first time this year... a calming feeling of being grounded to this piece of land... yummy fresh local strawberries that are DEVINE with whipped topping ... blue skies and the sunshine warming my sore back... I wish every day could be at this pace.

[Leigh]
