Having my brother stop by to visit after not seeing or hearing from him for over a year.Time does heal.

Shock coffee; being head butted by my cat until I got out of bed and fed her; and best of all...that annoying headache I've had for the last week or so is finally gone!
|
Singing with my chorus this morning. Good classical music is FUN!
|
joy
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... |
Watching my wifey getting excited over our scrapbook finds...:)

T'old man. We've watched rugby, eaten fish and chips and had a bit of a giggle.

very simply, "ciao bella" first thing. |
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. |
I found my most favorite of all miniseries on amazon.com......and I ordered it!!! Both parts!!!! :clap::thumbsup: Herman Wouk's The Winds of War (1983) ...and the second (and BEST) part.....War and Remembrance (1988) Both have all star casts, including Robert Mitchum and Jane Seymour, amongst many, many others.

Waking up in each other's arms.
|
Very relaxing day!!!

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....

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. |
Waking up next to my wife,

Waking up next to Stacy & getting to spend another day in love with her

Realizing that today is Mom and Pop's 49th wedding anniversary. Good grief I can't imagine having lived with either of them for 49 years.
|
What brought me joy today:
*Smoking my pipe; *Being home with my furkids to love on them; *Watching Sons of Anarachy again. I just love this movie. |
my niece got me a subscription to Taste of Home! OMG I could have cried!

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: ~Theo~ :bouquet: |
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.

What brought me joy today:

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. |
