My buddy.. and a coffee date for talking strategy

What will we come up with to get into?

laruss · 10-28-2012, 07:09 PM

Carving pumpkins with the kids.
Roasting pumpkin seeds.
Having a bath run for me because I was so busted from dancing last night.

Darbonaire · 10-28-2012, 07:31 PM

with a dear friend I've known for years. Riding to the top of Roanoke Mtn. & just talking one on one with her. She's a wise woman & a dear friend....I have missed our talks...so, it was...maybe not "joyfull" but WELL worth every second. Sometimes there's nothing better than time spent with those who know you & love you anyway.....LOL

Good cup of coffee. So damn hard to find on the road.

laruss · 10-30-2012, 04:13 PM

My friend is 52 years old and has never carved a pumpkin.

She grew up fanatically religious and left the church about 8 years ago.
I have known her for about 6 years and I knew she dressed up and decorated for Halloween, but I never realized she didn't carve pumpkins. I stopped carving them years ago and I had ceramic pumpkins with candles so it never crossed my mind when I saw the pumpkins uncarved.

Today she asked me to show her how to carve a pumpkin and roast the seeds. I honestly thought she was joking.

She is having so much fun, she is like a little kid. It has brought me so much joy to help her and watch her have fun with this children's project.

I love that she trusted me enough to ask me to help her as she has a lot of shame around not knowing how to do this simple task.

She is so excited I am here to stay with them, she is talking about all the projects she wants to do/try. It is great for me as I have really been in my head the last few months and it will be good to be creative again.

I think this will be a good place to be for a while.

BrutalDaddy · 10-30-2012, 04:40 PM

The knowledge that knowing how much my shows can sometimes irk her, she took the time to make a timer for one that I am especially fond of.

I think she might be liking it too but not sure. Just feel damn lucky that's all.

Happy,
Brute.

Scottish MacDaddy · 10-30-2012, 04:44 PM

Knowing that my entire family in New Jersey and New York made it through this storm unscathed and generally very little damage done to houses......That is what gave me joy today!

Massive · 10-30-2012, 05:32 PM

Mum's christmas present is sorted, she loves vw camper vans, went to a green store and got a handmade camper van made from recycled tin

Kenna · 10-31-2012, 05:52 AM

PAY DAY!!
and
MOVING DAY!! (for the 2nd time in last few months, but found a sweet place to settle in and make my own again...even if everything needs to stay in storage for a while, I'm still very happy about MOVING DAY!)

Kenna · 10-31-2012, 07:26 PM

HOME SWEET HOME! !

it's been a long but productive day...
every muscle hurts but it was worth it...
this is a sweet comfortable little place that will be easy to make a home ...
I'm so happy I made a wrong turn down a dead end road that day and happened upon the for rent sign.. as a dear friend said today ...it was meant to be...
my bones are weary but my heart happy...

plus early this morning I applied for an awesome job with amazing potential and rank... keeping my fingers crossed ...with every job I have ever landed, I got "that gut feeling " right when I found the post .. that feeling was powered by confidence and empowerment ... I GOT THIS

clay · 10-31-2012, 07:50 PM

Enjoying the water..watching the dolphin play...and that huge bright full moon!!! As it rose over the water, it was as if there were a million sparkling diamonds out there...I smiled...from deep inside my heart!!

Leigh · 10-31-2012, 08:36 PM

Spending time with a friend while giving out Halloween candy

Darbonaire · 10-31-2012, 09:52 PM

Seems like the universe has truly been blessing me with time with friends...both new & seasoned ones.....I am truly blessed to be loved this much by so many.....<doing the very blessed guy dance>.....LOL

Blessed be to all !

princesskathie · 10-31-2012, 10:08 PM

I was really moved this evening when a friend broke down in front of me and cried. It touched me to be trusted by someone so emotionally guarded.

I also had a bowl of homemade mac & cheese and got to wear my new coat today. Life is good!

MissItalianDiva · 10-31-2012, 10:09 PM

So much joy today...

Trick or Treating with the lil bits
Waking to cloudy skies
Running in the light rain
My cup of Mocha
Sitting here on the patio to my bedroom and reflecting on decisions both good and bad and owning them
Special and amazing folks in my life
My father who talks to me so loudly from Heaven so I always know he is there
My mother is who can see past my smile and knows when something is wrong..love that woman

...could go on and on but you get the picture

You can be found anywhere if you are looking for it. Some of the greatest joy in life comes in the darkness

laruss · 10-31-2012, 11:23 PM

Driving around the wine country of Naramata BC

I will be looking for a retreat to call my own in this area. Perfect home for a writer/artist.

Miss Scarlett · 11-01-2012, 04:25 AM

A long hot shower and strong coffee...

Ginger · 11-01-2012, 07:27 AM

I left the curtains open last night (I'm on the 9th floor, no privacy issues there), so I could see the sky first thing when I woke up.

And there it was.

JAGG · 11-01-2012, 07:57 AM

I woke up thinking about the sweetest memory . I am pretty lucky to be me. I love the life I have carved out for myself.
