What brought you joy today? - Page 203

I'm taking a summer class that requires an assignment done each day from now until June 10, then two weeks of face-to-face classes. I thought I'd missed the assignment for Friday, which would have meant no 10 points

(makeups not done). I was shocked to find it still up, and openable tonight, and I got my full credit! Hello, "A" for this class!

Besides that, today was day 3 of going to the pool with the kids, and letting them do their thing while I waterjogged and worked out. Long, long way to go to any semblance of fitness, but it makes me feel gooood.

I think I need to add to this thread a lot.

Things that brought me joy:

A week of having someone here
Saying goodbye knowing I'd be saying hello in another 2 weeks
Plans for him to return in July
A chiweenie back warmer
Knowing Jack.
Girl time
Breathing

Only been up for a few minutes: waking up and seeing my beautiful child sleeping. So grateful! Fills me with joy!

Being awakened in the night by Ivan's loud singing!!!

He's back to his old super sweet self again.

Of course, now he's up on the top ledge, full of crickets and all sacked out!!! It was a big night, last night.

One of my bestest friends is a first time gramma today!! We both got teary eyed on the phone this morning!!!

dixie · 06-08-2011, 09:43 AM

Damn good conversation...then hearing them cuss out the Family Feud game on facebook.

Arwen · 06-08-2011, 11:41 AM

Things that brought me joy today:

An awesome session with my therapist.
Remembering where my hula hoop starts and ends
Plans to do something for my community
Birds at the feeder
A kitten's paws from under my couch
Austin in general
My honey

Little Brother came over this afternoon to help me try to fix my tv issues, but I'd already bodged a quick fix at about 3am and forgot to let him know, but he did bring my moving in present with him too

Then later on, Mum came down for a cuppa tea and a natter, it was great to catch up and we got to talk about everything else I need to do to truly put my stamp on this house to make it all mine. Well, all Tiggers, cos, really, she rules the roost... You never own a cat, you serve 'em!

Hollylane · 06-08-2011, 12:11 PM

The simplest thing...

My velcro-cat, Maxwell, sitting on the back of my chair, paws on my shoulder, watching the screen as I type, and occasionally nuzzling my ear while purring.....Although, I could do without the claws hooked into my shoulder....

Massive · 06-12-2011, 05:44 AM

I have a cooker, no more cooking in the microwave!

And, later I should be able to start using my kitchen sink ... it's been depressing not being able to do anything other than emptying the dishwashing bowl into my bathroom sink

Gráinne · 06-13-2011, 07:20 PM

Wowzers! I got an email from the dean of my masters' program, saying I needed to apply for graduation. What? I thought I was graduating next May. Nope, six weeks from now

, after I finish up my summer classes, not after my year of mentored teaching. Yay!

Leigh · 06-13-2011, 07:27 PM

~ Making plans for the future, seeing where life will be taking Me

~ Chocolate and pepsi while watching tv

~ Getting a few things accomplished

Our friend from Alaska is visiting for her family reunion. She brought with her a ten week old black Husky puppy, who she rescued in Alaska.

Her sister that lives locally will be adopting her. Laerkin and I are pup sitting this week while the family is out of town for their reunion.

christie · 06-20-2011, 02:09 PM

... not only does it have a convection oven, but also one of those snazzy middle burners so I can use the ginormous cast iron skillet!

sometimes, it really is the little things in life.

PinkieLee · 06-20-2011, 02:32 PM

What brought me joy today...

After being on a minivacation, coming home and sleeping in our own bed last night.

RAIN ~ FINALLY!

Planning to cook a belated Father's Day dinner for my dad tomorrow night.

What brought me joy today:

Waking up with a soft furry purry Flynn head tucked in my hand
Playing hide-and-seek with Batman who pounced on my head
Hearing Nayru streeeetttch and yawn herself awake from her pile of blankets
Vinegar's enthusiastic attack of my hand that was trying to pet her
Knowing I am alive and healthy
The cool air after last night's thunderstorms
Having the power to choose who can be in my world and who cannot
A fun dinner with fun people
