Five Or More Good Things

[Katniss]

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.

Thank you Stone...

[Katniss]

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.

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

[Kätzchen]

>>> 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.

[A. Spectre]

1. My Pom, whose groomer is not grooming or grooving does not look like Alfalfa after I cut his hair. But he made me promise to make an appointment ASAP when allowed.

2. One of our favorite restaurants is now delivering and boy howdy! are we excited! They make the best Gorgonzola penne pasta.

3. There are 4 kits, 2 adult Vixens currently living under a building at a nearby park. With the park being closed, they ALL stand a better chance of thriving without so many humans to fuck it up.

4. With Greyhound racing shut down (rightfully so) in Florida, my neighbors now have 4! count them 4 rescued pooches. They are magnificent.

5. My wife is planting around 30 Lilac bulbs this morning, they will brighten up
the front yard.

or more....

Planning another trip to the Virgin Islands, we loved where we stayed so much, hopefully this time we won't be on lock down.

[PlatinumPearl]

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.

3. My sweet little window sill garden - Made from kitchen scraps that is magically showing life. Not sure if I will transplant them to pots yet or not... I haven't decided yet.

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.

5. Medical professionals that are risking their job security and safety by speaking up and sharing their truths to educate the world. Thank you!!

6. Essential workers! You're keeping the world going right now. Thank you and please stay safe!!

7. Butchfemmeplanet.com - Being able to log in, read posts and connect with others is a freedom that is not taken for granted especially now during this time. Thank you for creating and keeping this site going Medusa!!

Beautiful evening after a busy day.

Enjoyed eating dinner on the balcony.

Now relaxing on the couch with the oscillating fan.

Country music

Sipping homemade wine.

What a way to end the day😉

[Katniss]

1. Open windows, blowing curtains and spring breezes.

2. A markedly decreased pollen count, hence open windows.

3. Bach Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major as played by Yo Yo Ma.

4. Having a "good cry" while re-watching "A River Runs Through It".

5. Getting a "check your mailbox" text from a friend who had left me a little bag of homemade "cowboy cookies".

Was up early to see sheets of rain hitting the sliding door.

Weather is perfect..right now..73°

Laundry is finished. Yay!

Pulled out my spring wardrobe..ahh 11 summer dresses are awaiting. It's like I just went shopping.

Iced coffee to help with the early morning.

[Kätzchen]

I got to thinking today of all the talented people I know here at home, who are highly skilled in one art form or another.

Which is why I list their talent as Five Good Things in my world:

1) Knowing someone who can repair your shoes

2) Knowing someone who can open a jar when arthritis limits your ability to do it on your own

3) Knowing a good neighbor who can help you thread a needle when your bifocal eyeglasses just can't help you see the eye in the needle

4) Knowing someone who can help you fix your car, when you can't figure out how to fix it on your own

5) Knowing someone who has the time to listen and to help you process your day or the things you have on your mind

[Stone-Butch]

those out there that are risking their safety for others

Spring days and nights with rain cleansing everything

A beautiful one day heavy snowstorm (beautiful to watch)

[VintageFemme]

I feel like this is a really important thing to do on a daily basis these days no matter how small the 'thing' is.

1. Tea in my gorgeous Anthropologie 'hamsa' gold trimmed cups.
2. Wearing cozy soft slippers on hardwood floors.
3. Leftover baked ziti.
4. Listening to David Gray on a Saturday morning.
5. Reminiscing.

[Kätzchen]

1) lazy Saturday mornings, time to sleep in and enjoy a late breakfast.

2) starry nights, with no excess light pollution.

3) the luxury of sleeping in my own bed.

4)an abundance of PTO (every bit of paid time off helps)

5)Sampling a new to me dessert, made by a Filipino owned bakery: Buko Padan (it is d e l i s h, and vegetarian too).
