Food - 5 good things
 

breakfast tomorrow morning, which will just happen to be: treat time - making a mocha coffee, heating a few croissants in the oven, and some triple creme brie
coming home and having the pulled pork all ready to eat and made in the crock pot
potato and cheese pierogies with caramelized onions and served with sour cream
chopped egg sandwiches (with finely diced onions) with some beefsteak tomatoes on the side, all properly seasoned with freshly cracked white pepper and salt (I used to ask for that as a kid in the country and take off and have that on my hike - always fond memories)
BBQ chicken with coleslaw and potato salad, and a hunk of baguette accompanied by a glass of dry white wine

1) Spicy meatless 'meat' balls and organic fire-roasted veggies. It's what I am having for dinner, right now, and it's soooooo good.

2) a brand new nail polish. It's a rose-gold sparkly color. I just had to buy it, cuz it's pretty.

3) The will to stay on task, because it's staying on task that gets the job done. I've accomplished some major goals this past week, by staying on task and remaining committed to deadlines that will empower me to earn a better salary.

4) Making a dream come to life. You know, the important dreams (goals) you have over the years. I'm making one dream come to life. Hopefully soon, I'll be engulfed in my latest dream come true. That's when the proverbial stars in the universe are in alignment, right? :balloon:

5) The bed you sleep on needs to be real good, which is why I invested in a good mattress last summer. That new mattress (it's made of memory foam and cradles your body and helps you to sleep better) was the best thing I've bought, in quite some time. I miss my bed when I'm not home, so when I return home, I know I'm gonna sleep like a baby on the mattress I gifted to myself last summer. Here's to memory foam mattresses. It was spendy, but such a good investment.

:moonstars:

1) Clean laundry

2) Completed financial aid appl. Hopefully, be back at school to finish my Science and Technology degree in Earth Science this term.

3) Thinking of my Dad, aunt and uncle, all engineers, they'd be a great support.

4) Still have my infected leg that the docs saved.

5) Still a clean, sober, smoke-free, leather commie bitch.

6) Last, but certainly not least...this is the year we kick Trump to the curb!

Good
 

1. Friends
2. Home
3. Kitties
4. Travel - headed west this year
5. A job that makes me happy

Extra - fine dining and great conversation with people that I care about.

:cowboy:

My dental office just dropped by, so I think what they gave me is so uplifting and shows how caring they are toward me.

They gave me:

1) polished Red apples

2) fresh winter Pears (they're so beautiful)

3) Toilet paper (big, big rolls)

4) Jasmine Rice (a biggo commercial size bag)

5) and.... flowers. A beautiful bouquet of Tulips, probably from their garden by the office. :stillheart:

5 good things
 

1. My health

2. My friends

3. My serrogate granddaughter and her parents

4. A comfortable apt. (even if I have to walk up 3 floors)

5. Lots of good food and drink in this time of upheaval

Who knew the day would come when I would miss Bush or Reagan?
 

– Good health
– Shelter
– Water
– Soap
– Any U.S. president in the last 50 years compared to the current one

5 Good and Not So Good Things....
 

1. My Mind. I am thankful for the fact that I can still think for myself and make clear sound decisions based on logic, reason and intuition.

2. Water.

3. Food - Dried Goods. The fact that we are still able to get dried pasta, beans and rice is a blessing. Food prices have gone up and I wouldn't be surprised if they continue to.

4. Knowledge. Big changes are coming. Are you ready?

5. Clothes - Warm clothes.

1. eggs...human and chicken
2. laughter
3. good sewage systems
4. beer...any kind as long as it doesn't have fruit in it
5. vaccines...the sooner the better.

Bath soap and foaming bubble bath, scented with real lavender.

A pretty new lip gloss by ELF in a sparkly shade called Champagne.

That new toothpaste by Crest that is really good for your teeth and gums.

A new spring nightie and matching shorties in a pale shade of Sage.

Getting enough sleep at night... :moonstars:

And finding new flavors of herbal tea by Tazo Tea and Bigelow Tea
(Blackberry Balance, Glazed Lemon Loaf -- both are very tasty and yummy).

Colouring books
 

WOW, I googled that, and I had no idea they had colouring books like that; I used to paint, and as a kid was always given colouring books, etc., but we never had such beautiful books like that!

I had this thought, like maybe I could go and buy one, and suddenly, it dawned on me, the art stores are closed (I don't order online, oh well)...

Trust you have a lot of fun doing those. :)

5 and counting...
 

1. A blue sky, soft breeze, open the windows kind of day.

2. The garden bursting with the blooms of roses, iris, pansies, Lenten rose and azaleas.

3. Gathering enough Lily of the Valley to create a small, fragrant bouquet for my nightstand.

4. Some of the best BBQ I have had in a long while.

5. A bottle of grape NEHI.

Trying to stop at just 5....
 

1. After much, much delay the little family-owned produce stand opened up this week. Love that place!

2. Sugar-baby watermelons are now in season (briefly) and they are the best tasting ever!

3. Little vases full of flowers picked from my yard.

4. Almond Blossom bubble bath.

5. The concept of grace. :praying:

Katniss~~ during these trying times I enjoy this thread more than ever

>>> Stormy weather that blows all the beautiful floral blooms off the trees and sends them swirling atop the parked cars or down the street.

>>> being able to send special art work to friends and family, to cheer them up during this challenging time.

>>> Having time to rest and take good care of me.

>>> Coming across sentimental items made by my sons, as I unpacked more of my household. It has been almost a year since I moved, but I'm still unpacking my house.

>>> knowing that my fridge and the cupboards are filled with good food and that I have all that I need or could want to feel safe and warm at home.

>>> making an impromptu lunch to share with those who can't get out to go shop for food or don't have the energy to cook a nice meal for themselves. Sharing is caring. I believe that with all my heart.

*** I went more than five, just for Katniss. :balloon:

5 or More Good Things....
 

1. Almond Milk - This new brand I recently discovered is just too good!!

2. Canadian Maple Syrup - The real stuff, you know the good stuff. ;)

4. Humans - Free thinkers and truth seekers that are not afraid to use their voice to speak up and share their truths to educate others on worldly events and issues.
