What brought you joy today?

The daffodils are blooming as are the Bradford Pears with their stinky white flowers. Spring is on its way!

Helping my customers who are getting married in June after 9 years together and 2 children find the perfect wedding set tonight. I put a rush on the ring sizing (4 3/4) for them and their appreciation was so evident!

Dinner out with my snuggly guy and now We're watching The Bourne Identity together. The fur babies are quiet and snuggly too. It's a nice ending to a nice day, despite the rain.

:buzz cut:
I got my hair cut off super short and I'm loving it. Only trouble – I got my eyebrows waxed as well which I'd never done before. It didn't hurt like I thought it would, but now I have red swelling both above and below my eyebrows! This not an attractive look.

[Gayandgray]

Certainly NOT my job!!!!!!

The swelling should go away soon. Cold compresses help. It's not unusual.

My dad called this morning to see if I wanted to grab some lunch and go see the local bald eagle's nest. There were two eaglets around 10 weeks old, and they looked like they were nearly ready to fledge. Not long after we were there, one of the parents swooped in with some prey. My dad said it looked like a rabbit.

They were pretty amazing to watch! I probably could have stayed all day to watch them if it hadn't been raining.

I have been looking for Toosie Roll Midgets for over a week now. I was starting to think the Tootsie Roll peeps had halted their production.

Found some today and bought six 12-ounce bags. These are the thick ones too.

Snowglobe snow whirling around the streets, early on; the jumble of old buildings in the little industrial area near the city centre under a fine dusting of snow looking as if they were huddled together for warmth as I passed them on the train; the colours on a shrub picked out by the changing sunlight, now a little washed out and brown as a wisp of cloud hid the sun momentarily, now the green here and there standing out amidst the brown. Being smiled at by a good looking lass and wondering...

Mere moments ago, Rachel Maddow described herself as a “childless, middle-aged, pot bellied lesbian“ on live television! That gave me some joy.

I almost accidentally made two mortgage payments yesterday. Actually, I briefly thought I did but found out I did not. Made me quite joyful to realize all is okay - moving money around in scramble mode was not necessary. Plus, hanging on the phone attempting to speak with a human being in customer service is time consuming.

Something different than usual was going on. The account did not list the payment as pending in the usual manner. Must have upgraded their software and forgot that part which provides user convenience. I am calling today and telling them to tell their IT Department to correct their software ... to throw up a flag in the code, insert their two code routines that they left out

1. if already paid
2. show payment pending

not rocket science ... a few minor tweaks will be all that is necessary. They already wrote the code and it worked great before it was removed.

How lame to leave that out!!! :( No one wants to dig three layers down to see if they already made their payment. Bet I am not the only one who experienced a little burden over this.

A little while ago, my little pooch Jennifer Avery, ate all her dinner. She has not eaten much at all the past few days because she sprained her left back leg.

Anyway, I nuked her 4 eggs with grated cheese and shaved turkey mixed in with her eggs. Actually I made it this morning for her breakfast. She did not eat a bite of it so I bagged it, saved in fridge.

This afternoon I noticed she was putting weight on the leg, playing some.

Jennifer is much much better and that brings me joy! She gobbled up her dinner like the little pocket pittie piglet she is! LOL!

I was at my state capital today lobbying around areas of addiction and recovery. The morning opened with a bunch of standard speakers. That part of the day closed with a drag show put on by a youth group that uses the arts as part of their recovery program, including classes teaching drag/vogue/dance. They put on a phenomenal closing act. I got to chat with them after and started arranging them to come to our city for a one day workshop for youth to learn drag and presentation and put on a show for a fundraiser for their program and ours. Total highlight of the week!

[girl_dee]

Some very wonderful news, i love being with someone that I’m so proud of

[Esme nha Maire]

My PC is haunted by budgies. No, honestly, that's what it sounds like!

Last night, I played Civilisation V a bit, and the backround noises for the game include birdsong. Although it doesn't sound quite like typical UK birdsong, and when I thought about it, I was put in mind of a small flock of budgies that hadn't learnt any words from humans. a little tuneful, and quite sweet. Anyway, so I exited the game, and exited from Steam. Or rather, I had selected those options...

So this morning, when I ambled out of my bedroom I was surprised to note that there appeared to be birdsong coming from my lounge. Had I left a window open? No. Then I realised it was coming from my PC. checking the open desktops, no sign of Civ V, but the Steam window was still there. So I used Task Manager to kill the Steam process, which should have ended matters.

But no. STILL the budgies are twittering away.. carefully checking Task Manager, I see there's a rogue process accessing the audio systems, and there we are. Kill - no. Kill! No! Damned process will not die. I'll have to shut my PC down and restart it.

And yet I find myself strangely reluctant to do so.

My PC is haunted by budgies, and I love it!

[Esme nha Maire]

Update to the above. Having returned from the dentists and handed in an essay assignment, I trawled through the Steam file directories looking for the Civ V files, hoping that the relevant file would be held in a normal file format rather than some esoteric thing that only Civ V could play, or some such.

I'm happy to report that I found the relevant file, and can now play it any time I want.

I have virtual pet budgies in my PC!

Have someone different sitting at a desk near me and he is fucking hilarious! We laugh most of the day and it’s great

Such joy! :awww:

[kittygrrl]

what brought joy...everything

[Orema]

Being on time with my projects at work. :bow:

Feels like our team is in the middle of a storm with things moving around so quickly, but we’re getting things done and it looks like we’ll meet our Monday deadline. The key is to over communicate instead of hesitating to ask or notify.

[Gemme]

Waking up and not finding a foot of snow outside my door brought me joy. It's still messy but manageable.

[girl_dee]

paying off my one and only credit card! (Besides upcoming household expenses) i no longer owe a thing to anyone.

[Medusa]

I have 4 work-husbands who have been steady, strong, and present with me throughout the last several years of all that life has brought me.
Today we took a little break from work and the entire team went on an outing for lunch and a little bowling.
I caught myself having a silent moment of joy sitting on the bench waiting for my turn to bowl as I watched each of them wrapping their giant paws around the shoes and laughing in that deep way that only the most bear-like men can do.

I am so fucking grateful to have these men as my coworkers and brothers.

There are several folks at my job who have referred to our little group as "Bonnie and all her Clydes" and it always feels like much less of an indictment of me having a lot of male friends and more of an acknowledgement of the "partners in crime" vibe that we all have.

My heart is joyous and grateful. <3

There was a lady and her daughter at the meat counter today. I heard her say what kind of steak do we want her daughter said ribeye. The mom said I don't know how to cook rib eyes. So I stepped over and told her how to cook steak without cooking it on the grill and how to cook ribeyes. I told her I usually get the small sirloins because they are tender and they are plenty big once you add the other fixings with your supper. She thanked me and as I walked away she said I'm and she said her name which of course I don't remember I told her mine and moved alone. The next thing I know I was going down an aisle and she was there again. She stopped me and ask me what kind of Shaker did I say to use on the steaks. So it brought me joy to tell someone how to fix themselves and enjoyable supper

[girl_dee]

seeing that big smile when we got the annoying error message to go away!

Visiting a huge market that I haven't been to in many years.

[Chad]

Today a complete stranger extended kindness to me.

I went into the village today to shop. I stopped at the hardware store to get some Iris bulbs for a garden that I made for mom. The cashier said that they didn't have any Iris bulbs in the store but she had some Iris plants in her yard and would be happy to share some with me if I dug them up. She took my name and number and sent me a photo of her plants. Joy.

[Kenna]

Three very happy, content, sleeping dogs.

Riding my bike in the cool temp of the morning. Feeling the burn in my thigh muscles. Listening to the calm of the neighborhood. Looking at all the signs of spring!



ok, not so much joy, bringing the bike up the stairs!

[CherryWine]

A few things did.

It seemed that every stranger whose path crossed with mine today was extra friendly.

My furry one seems to be doing lots better with an issue that the vet hasn’t been able to figure out.

Climbing into crisp, clean sheets after a long, hot shower will always be one of life’s simple joys.

Tomorrow is Friday. :bouquet:

Finding a great blog and an amazing recipe for blueberry muffins. Before I could never get the berries not to bleed. Mostly people recommend coating them in flour before dumping them in but that's never worked for me. Neither have any of the other tips I've read. This one did and even better is specifically for using frozen berries. That's handy because I usually wait until there is a sale, buy them by the flat, then put them up that way. Anyhow these are so so good, just perfect for breakfast or :tea: time.

[Gayandgray]

Honestly?? Nothing but eating....

Actually getting some peace and quiet around the house.

We have a new family member. A beautiful hybrid wolf puppy. She was howling in the kitchen and I joined her. She looked at me quizzically and giggled. I have never seen a wolf giggle before. Precious.

Last night it was the sound of Medusa’s rauctious cackle as the two of us played conversational pinball, and bounced from pencil dicks to monkey pox to Gambian rats to bed bugs (Really, it was WAY more hilarious than it sounds).

Today it was the memory of that conversation, and that damned infectious cackle of hers.

Clocking out for the last time for 4 days.

spending time with my Daddy. Normally he's a grumpy old man but he was very pleasant today

spent a little time with the Christmas elf and the chunky monkey

[CherryWine]

The leaves have been slowly sprouting over the past few weeks. Last night it stormed like crazy, and when the sun finally decided to come out this afternoon, I was amazed by the intensity of the green. It was almost like spring happened overnight. Of course, everything had been dusted in a layer of yellow pollen.

We’ll have our second full moon of the month this Saturday. A blue moon. :)

I have today off work and all to myself.
It is a beautiful spring day in Texas.

Joy. :cowboy:

Had a great day stompin' around in the rain all day with my bestie finding treasures at estate sales, several Restores and a favorite diner.

I scored a box full of never used tools for $75 (they had asked $90), a never used tool shed/garage for $200, a box of designer glass tile for cheap, two boxes of "Airstone" for $10 box (normally $60 box) and a few other treasures.

The fun part was laughing and joking with my bestie so much it felt as good as a bunch of kids playing in mud puddles.

[Kenna]

I hired two local gentlemen to clear out a large, nasty briar patch, cut down some trees (roots and all), haul off a load of trash (two piles of pallets included), scrape and level the new gravel driveway and locate my water line. They'll be here Wednesday or Thursday. Then my house will be delivered next week!

Time to get solar panels ordered!

[Gemme]

The husband of one of my customers. He's a doll but looks like he'd rip your face off. He's got a lot of character in his face, with scars and expression lines and he's built like a linebacker. Seriously, he's easily around three feet across at the shoulders. HUUUUUGE guy and very fit.

First, he's incredibly sweet and very polite. Major points to start with but then he came into the office smelling divine today. DIVINE!!!

The office smelled soooo good after he left. If it weren't inappropriate, I would have asked what cologne he used. That stuff deserves to be bought and spritzed on pillows. Seriously yummy.

Sunshine, and listening to children run around outside playing in it. Tag - you're it!

My garden. It rained most of the day but then the sky cleared to a brilliant blue and the sun shone strong and pure. The leaves on the trees had the filtered light and looked like bright emeralds and that lovely gold-green glow shone over the yard. The leftover raindrops sparkled and it was if they had little diamonds hanging from the leaves. Best of all were the flowers. The azaleas (pink, purple and white) were a bit beaten-down but the shrub roses have masses of blooms. The little miniature roses are fat with ready-to-pop blooms. The hostas are up and silver-blue and all manner of greens and swirls of yellow. The violas (blues, purples and blue/yellow) and snapdragons (yellow) are at full power (they love cooler weather). The potted Japanese maples have their lacy burgundy leaves waving in the breeze and the dogwood tree is still a froth of white blossoms.
Best of all the lily-of-the-valley which took me four years to really establish are up and starting their bloom. All along the stone path leading to the backyard it just smells heavenly. I did pluck a few of the sweet little white bells and put them in a cobalt vase in my bedroom.

Not only did my garden bring me joy, it brought me gratitude beyond measure.

My son's inability to fix my computer speakers. He thinks he's so right when it comes to computer stuff because, well usually he is. So it's nice when I out brain him for a change- Ha! Not so much the whiz today are we computer man? Final diagnosis, just like I said, it needs new speakers. I didn't rub it in because he had a long day at work and he's still recovering from the Pittsburgh whoever team losing whatever recently. But that's okay there's always one of his two days off to bring it up and give him a good ribbing. You know son maybe I should consider a career in computer repair. I used to think I was dumb at it, till I whooped your ass in speaker diagnostics!!!

Seeing her smile about little things like bringing her coffee at work or saying good morning. Seeing him feel accomplished and proud because he passed the endorsement test at the BMV. Most of all knowing they’re mine and they love me for who I am.

[firecat242]

It was nothing more than a simple conversation with my mom. I am so lucky to still have here with me and I cherish every moment, however small, we are together. In a world that goes way too fast for her to keep up she reminds me that we only get to walk with some people for a limited amount of time. Make it count. Slow down to their pace, listen to their words no matter how long it takes them to say it and find that joy that fills the heart.

Chatting to a husky-voiced, 50-something butch and her sweet lady friend today.

Yesterday - taking a gentle 3 mile walk around Ironbridge with my new friend and date whilst the fitter members of the group (all the rest! went on a 5-6 mile walk) invovling hills. Just spending time with her in glorious weather and countryside, her pointing out plants and birds that she knows to me as we walked along. Sharing tales at a pub whilst we paused for a rest. A delightful wee picnic in a shady flower meadow. Feeling comfy in her company, and wondering where this might lead.. Looking forward to seeing her again! :-)

Also from earlier this week and still rolling... listening to Sam Cooke. We saw his daughter Carla perform last weekend in a tribute show to her father. She told a lot of little stories about him, inspiration behind songs, where he was when he wrote this one and that one. So I've been listening to him a lot the last few days and remembering the stories to the songs. Makes me happy :)

After work mid-week last week, I bought a hot, cooked chicken for my pups. By the time I got home, my leg and foot were worn out so I did not give it to them until tonight for dinner. I pulled all the lean meat off it, no skin, bones or grissel. Shredded it and divided it evenly into their three bowls. Then I yelled, "chicken picnic." Watching their joy and excitment while they scarfed their dinner brought me tons of joy. Jeffrey still gets beside himself moreso than Kevie and Jennifer when the food is extra special. They keep me laughing. :)

I saw a wrangle of jeeps stopping to place little American flags on the headstones, at a quaint small cemetery.

[Leigh]

Painting my nails for a special occasion

[Blade]

Went to the farmers market this morning and saw people I haven't seen all winter. And also saw a lady and her husband that I have not seen in probably 3 or 4 years. Sometimes seeing people hurts my heart they seem so old and frail but it was joyous to see them

[Gemme]

Making plans for the future.

[Kenna]

Scoring several brand new, large, high quality, solid maple hardwood (ready to stain) cabinet doors at Restore for just $2 each. They're so perfect for the projects I'm doing.

[Medusa]

One of my sweetest friends, Vanessa, sent me a video of her progress since starting back on hormones last year and she looks SO FUCKING AMAZING!!!

She has struggled with drug addiction, poverty, and mental health for over 30 years but seems to be back on track and I am seeing her just bloom and feel beautiful and it is just so joyful to be able to witness her.

She is saving up for breast surgery so that she can continue aligning her body with her gender and is hustling her ass off to make it happen.
I am so fucking proud for her I might explode!!!

[Kenna]

Taking my elderly neighbors (in their 80's and 90's) to a local peach farm/farmer's market/ice cream shop and watching how much they enjoyed themselves.

No matter how frustrated I got at Verizon later in the day, the delight and joy I felt from my dear friends carried me through.

[Gemme]

My decision I just made to leave work early today.

[Reach *BANNED*]

In about 2 weeks I am going to live my dream. I really cannot believe it. Today I am going out to take a look see at it all. Good things come to those who wait.

[Orema]

Having lunch with my rowdy friends. So nice to relax and laugh over lunch.

I had to work on my day off.

But JOY
I get to have two half days. Kinda, sorta, combined a whole day off. 😁

[FireSignFemme]

Just surveying my surroundings taking in the scenery. The place looks so great with all that clutter gone. I know I'm not God but still it's like - and on the seveth day She rested.

Figuring out the order of the rest of my home renovations. Scheduling the different workers for each project.

[Bèsame*]

I've had joy since Friday. My neice had a baby girl on Friday. She keeps posting pictures, and she is such a beautiful newborn! I find myself lingering on those pictures.
I don't know what it is in my family's gene's, but, we have some beautiful girls! In fact, it seems, that's all we have are girls. It took 40 years to have 1 boy! There are 7 girls now.

Hey, I'm the best aunt/great aunt around:)

[Happyfemme]

Picking a painting company to paint the bedrooms, living room, and kitchen. Next a flooring company.

[RockOn]

Getting off work and getting home.I have been in some pain today.

[RockOn]

This issue with my back flips on and off, sideways too. This morning I got up totally pain-free, just like normal! I
I mean I am walking totally normal, no limp at all in my gait! First time in quite a while. Yes, I am happy and smiling big. :)

It is so strange how things go with these lower discs. I have PT this afternoon. I am not going to let him work me as hard as he did last Friday.

[Gemme]

Good for you, Rock On. When I had sciatica flare ups, the pain was nearly continuous with extra sharp spikes here and there, so I valued every moment with little to no pain. Baby your back!

Today, it was the furlings. Their personalities are so different. Loki is a momma's boy and is waiting for me at the door when I get up and he nearly trips me 3-4 times between the bathroom and the kitchen. Gracie is respectful of personal space and will come up to me when I'm sitting in the bathroom or once I'm in the kitchen. She's not a crowder because she doesn't like to be crowded. Loki would be happy if he could be sewn onto me. No sense of personal space or privacy whatsoever.

:blink:

But I have to say that I have the most beautiful creatures. Gracie with her grey and white tuxedo fur and light green eyes and Loki with his buff raccoon rings and golden eyes. She's so dainty but vicious and he's very much the huge bull in the china shop but is so lovable. They are two sides to a very interesting coin.

[RebelDyke]

The coworkers are all in good moods today! Which is awesome since yesterday some of them had cases of the Monday grumpies. (I was not one of those cases)

[MsTinkerbelly]

The deer in the front yard this morning when I let the dog out.

So beautiful, but boy did they run! :)

[Medusa]

Back to back phone calls for positions with amazing companies!

One is for a position making double the salary that I make now (literally, TWICE the money) but in the same industry and the other is good money in a completely different industry.

I was really wanting to get out of the world of Big Data but fuck, doubling my salary does make is a LOT more attractive. The stress, however, is not something I look forward to having in my life for the rest of my working days.

The other would be a super-stable, super comfortable giant system of companies with a very decent salary doing different work than I do now with much lower stress. It's about $30,000k a year less than the other company but they have amazing bennies.

Lots to think about. :hangloose:

[JDeere]

Knowing in 2 more days that back up arrives home and my doggie princess comes home from being boarded.

My morning coffee! It's the little things lol

[MrSunshine]

I made my own rain barrel with a waterspout. I woke up this morning and it was full of water just from the rain last night !

[VintageFemme]

I wrote a haiku today.

[Medusa]

OMFG.

I got the call for an interview on Friday morning for the position I really feel positive about!!
I may get there and it may not be a good fit but to even get some face time with the folks is an amazing step. I've struggled a bit with feeling "worthy" of the types of positions and salaries being offered to me but I'm making the decision to tell myself, "You deserve good things".

Fingers crossed that the perfect opportunity pans out...in whatever form that takes. <3

[Chained Daisy]

Hearing a friend a little more up beat after a small victory at a difficult time. :)

I finally got the job email i was waiting for! Hopefully class on Saturday!

[Orema]

Getting a quick reply from the Internet Tech Support team at work. I have deadlines coming out of my ears and those folks are the best. They'll get my vote for "Dream Team" in our next People Choice awards.

:bow:

[Kenna]

I adore the employees at my local, hometown owned hardware store. They never fail to help me figure out my "projects"...
It gave me much joy to order everything I need for my small deck (with their help to brainstorm on layout and figure out technical stuff) and they offered to custom build a special theft-proof enclosure for my solar batteries (instead of paying for the enclosure, they traded with me for the brand new large dog house that I was going to modify)...all to be delivered tomorrow.
With their help, I should be up and running by this weekend. So many reasons to bring me joy!

Carmel flavored coffee

[FireSignFemme]

Up with the birds. It's a good start to what will hopefully prove to be a great day. So far it's a beautiful morning, still cool and crisp outside. I'm airing out the apartment, having a morning cup of coffee, sitting in front of the computer and just sort of mapping out my day. I feel great because even though I'm still fat as a house I've actually lost a couple of pounds and as a result feel so light. Until I look in a mirror and realize – uh not so very light. So avoiding the mirror, feeling light, enjoying the good weather and sipping my coffee is what's bringing me joy today.

The amazing breakfast my best friend made this morning.

Great news from my sister.

[Blade]

Getting Moma and Daddy out of the house. She had surgery Friday week ago and he still doesn't have much stamina from all of his issues the past few years.

[CherryWine]

This evening, I got to hang out with my parents. We went out to dinner for Father's Day and then came back to my place for some homemade banana pudding. My parents had a blast playing with my cat and new baby kitten. They were all pretty cute!

I also got to spend the morning sleeping in, cuddling, and laughing with my boo.

So yeah....this day has been full of joy all around. :heartbeat:

[Kenna]

A really busy, damn good weekend.

My 86 yr old neighbor called at 8pm to tell me she made me an egg custard pie. OMG...I adore that woman.

Living in a place that has enriched my spirit and well being.

[Lyte]

Spent much of this wickedly hot day at a friend's kid's bday party. Everyone was having such a fantastic time. All the kids... ours and those of other park goers... were smiling and laughing and just loving life! I enjoy people watching in general but today was especially fun for me. :koolaid:

[Reach *BANNED*]

Thinking about Pride and how much it makes me feel even more alive than I do when I am in a bad ass large group of my own people!!! Joy times a thousand.

[Bevidotcom]

Thinking about my family. Their unconditional love,... unwavering support, even when they disagreed with me and / or my path...

They had patience with my unusually long learning curve. I can't even express how much I appreciate them. They're the reason I am the person that I am today.

[Lyte]

I wasn't diggin' the idea of having to swap desks at work... the new location has been historically freezing! I was promised the AC issue in the area was fixed and it appears to be so! Now, I'm pretty pleased with the new spot. Now I'm near a big window and can see all the birds and squirrels. Some of the squirrels actually campout on the window ledge. I think they can feel the cool from the window. :koolaid:

[RockOn]

Every once in a while I can notice more of an improvement in my right butt, leg and foot ... talking about some pain related to lower discs playing jumble ... on my clock even. *grin* Anyway, when I got up this morning, I could really notice an improvement, made me joyful - though still sore from P.T. yesterday. That physical therapist almost tore the right cheek off my rump. I am not being funny. I was on the table following instructions doing the stretches and exercises when I suddenly got a bad pain in my right butt. I jumped off the table, was dancing around and hitting it hard. He asked me what was going on. I told him I was hurting back there. He said to get on the table and lie on my left side. I did, he grabbed my cheek and massaged it to the bone so hard. I told him he was hurting me and to quit. He said to tolerate it if I could. So I gritted my teeth for about the longest eight minutes. When I got my composure back, I looked at him dead in the eye and told him I guess he was happy he finally got a good enough excuse to play with my butt but not to press his luck and try to get familiar with any more of my goods past that. We both laughed as I was peering over the table to see if there was a piece of bloody body part of mine on the floor.

First time I have ever had physical therapy. Sometimes it gets very strange to me. So far, I have been tied up 3 times by various leather gadgets ...no chit, it looked like part of a saddle last week ...then he leans on me with that right leg in a different position every time. It always seems to hurt in the same place when he does that. And it feels just like my hips are rubber when I walk out. We are building up my core too. It took a lot of focus and concentration at first to remember to breathe while I make my stomach hard and tight as I go through these drills.

Joking about it today, telling friends at work about my roughed up butt cheek. It sure wasn't funny to me when it was happening. Hmmm, I am thinking he may have crushed the feeling out of my sciatic nerve in that area. If so, it is a good thing! LOL!

[kittygrrl]

my Lemongrass is getting so beautiful..the rain yesterday made it happy:wateringgarden:

Well it wasn't today but a recent haircut finally......:buzz cut:

More joy that you will ever know.

I came home with 5 tops in sizes, I was surprised to fit. I said, oh, why not, let's just see and gauge. And WOW, the image I saw in the dressing room mirror! I think it's time to sort thru my closet.

And....just saying, cherries are on sale at Kroger's, @1.69 per pound!!!

A set of 2 AWG battery-to-inverter cables (6' long)

A huge compliment from my favorite employee at my hometown hardware store.
My Tacoma and it's hauling capacity.

Unexpectedly getting to see my grandkids.

On the way home from NOT getting to spend the 4th with an old friend I took the wrong exit off the parkway. Turned out it put me on city streets about 8 blocks from my daughters place. On the spur of the moment, I drove by her place and it turned out their plans had been cancelled too. Got to see my grandbabies age 3, 5. and 8. With them crawling all over me, climbing in and out of every door in my van, I was in bliss.

Pure joy!

Smooches,

Yesterday:
A nice long bike ride. And I'd packed a book to make myself rest at the halfway point. I usually power through but wanted to make it a more relaxing ride. So I stopped at a shady spot by the river and read my book for a half hour before riding home. Perfect. I'm doing it again today.

Also yesterday- we ordered our wedding bands and we love them :)

[Gemme]

Gracie actually begged me to get on my lap. She's not usually so pushy or vocal about being pet. It was sweet.

Knowing that my BFF is having the time of her life over in Maui. She's been terribly ill with Lupus, for the past year, and I feel so much joy for her tonight. I'm so glad for the respite she's enjoying while on vacation.

[RebelDyke]

So, I assumed this worker at store was being flirty. Then I thought ..no...small town...she is just being "polite" and "non-discriminatory"...

Until today.....

She informed me that tomorrow would be her last day, and she is moving north. After much conversation, something sparked in me to ask her how old she was. She told me and like took a little step back puffed up her chest and said, "so, not that much older" I was like huh? you mean me? she was like yeah, "29" ... i laughed so hard. I was like "oh sweetheart, I'm 44. So YES THAT much older!" So for a moment, it was nice to be flirted with.

She was cute too. So, I gave her my info.

Now i'm wondering .. was that wrong? and how big of an age gap would you accept to date?

It is safe to say she DID make first contact..and now we do have each other's phone numbers. However, I believe it will be more of just a fun friendship than anything.

lol thanks moe!

Gemme, I LOVE this show also. I have watched it forever now. Aren't there some really amazing, brave folks who participate?

I usually cry over at least one or 4 stories...:)

[RebelDyke]

That found confidence that was sooooo needed to stand up to the lies and BS that had been happening in my life. It was a thrill to be able to find all the right words and cleanse!

It was as if the dark clouds parted and the sun came out :praying:

Of course, having a/c was the lifesaving joy from yesterday.

Today, after sleeping on an awesome gel foam mattress, I felt such joy at getting some decent sleep. My body is so grateful.

Tomorrow my big leather "Momma" chair and an lovely sofa will be delivered so I'm excited and feel so much joy to have such comfy furniture to sit upon.

A pretty cool coincidence today. My girlfriend and I were headed back from vacation and stopped in at a favorite place in my old college town for a late lunch. We ordered at the counter, found a seat, and just as we were about to sit, I heard someone call my name. It was my big brother! We had chosen the table right in front of him, and I didn’t even notice him sitting there...ha!

We were both a good distance from where we live (a couple of hours...he was there for work), so it was quite a shock to run into one another. It provided for a pretty funny and unexpected first meeting between him and my girlfriend. :)

About a year ago, a man walked in to my work and handed us a check for $10,000. Wouldn't tell us his name. Had his business name on the check. Told us we do God's work and he wanted to contribute. Left the building.

Yesterday he came again, with another check for $10,000. He stayed and chatted and told us who he is and visited with myself and a few other staff, learning about what we do.

Today, I'm in a training. Get pulled out to tell me he called and wants a meeting today at 2:30 with everyone he met with yesterday. Okay so, we all go meet him. He brought in a co-worker because he wanted her to see what we do. We chatted for 10 minutes or so. Then he told us he had such an amazing visit with us yesterday, left feeling so good about the services we provide, he handed us another check for $10,000.

We have so many needs and have many grants and state support that are for specific projects. Money like this that we an apply where most needed is worth 10x it's weight. Such joy.

My homemade bread turned out yummy. I made two loaves and gave one to mom. She had a big smile on her face and that gave me joy.
