When the flight attendant asked my niece who she was visiting she said "aunt cricket" 😁

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.

:stillheart:

three little furfaces raising their heads, blinking, yawning, then throwing their heads back down on their pillows ... they were trying to wake up ... I laughed hard at them ... when they heard me laughing, all of their indicators went up and started wagging ... they are so funny to me :)

The best part of my day.. Every day...
 

My little bit of love found my pic on my daughter's phone and called me! It was adorable!!! She's only 2--mi preciosa!!!

An impromptu pizza party with my gf.

Watching and hearing the aha's and the takeaways...

Seeing some very sweet family pics.

I am *obsessed* lately with custom kicks!

I might have just ordered another pair and I hope I don't explode before they are delivered!

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. :)

I love this story! How fun :)

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.

the little things..

An impromptu date.

Hi ccb-

THOSE are the best, glad it brought you joy!!

Thank you!!!

Actually it was yesterday, I spent several hours with my niece. Just listening mostly. Sure seems difficult to be a wife mother daughter employee etc these days.😊 I didn't down play her issues I just listened.

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.

:cowboy:

Getting rid of toxic family members and friends from my life. Its been a long time coming.

turning off lawnmower for last time today ...

my yards look terrific

sure do not miss all the pine tree debris I used to stumble over if I did not pick it up ... especially those little round balls that are hiders ... you can see pine cones but some of the balls just lie in wait on slopes for you to come along, step on and go for a tumble

Seeing all of the baby hatchlings we have now. Just a full on bunch of cuteness. Also, a talk about tea and other things. :tea:

music..watercolor...sister "Ken"

Feeling the Joy....
 

I can't carry things or much of anything, so when I found a local retailer with local delivery service, it made my day and gave me a ton of joy because it's so incredibly hard to bring things home on my own.

Getting a new phone. I left mine somewhere yesterday and I never found it. Today, I am back on track again, yay!

Also, my new job, boss, and office...that brought me joy... :)

Thunder and Lightening
 

An early morming hike with the dogs. It.felt.like.the world was still asleep... and the morning light through the trees was just magical

Had my hitch/wiring installed on my new Rav4 and all weather mats delivered. Made me feel a little less homesick for my truck.

I'm not sure where you're located, but driving from Denver back to Albuquerque through the entire storm front which includes hail, inability to see outside the window and hydro-planing three times was not a good time yesterday. We did make it home safely. Nine hours for a 6 hour trip.

Life is precious
 

Femmewench,

Glad you made it home safely.

Driving through that front must have been hellish, I've
driven during similar conditions and they are dangerous
to drive in.

Great friends have I!
 

A haircut! I finally got a bald fade! Now to grow it out for another fade i saw online.

Seeing 3 more baby ducks being born!! There are now 8 altogether. I am trying not to stress and think about the first duck that did not make it several weeks ago. Keeping everything crosses that they all make it this time.

Relaxing after a big victory. My Jedi's big t-shirt. Diet Coke. Best friends.

Making plans (some tentative, some not), laughter, and DQ birthday cakes.

Wedding pictures pouring in! We had a small elopement party- 20 people including a bunch of kids but the pictures are amazing. Won't get the professional pictures for a couple of weeks but the ones from friends are amazing. Totally riding on the joy of what was a perfect day and a ceremony filled with love.
