My Stepsister is doing this on facebook quite a bit, This helps her keep her from falling into a depression with the family situation we have going on right now and to focus on the good stuff in life. I thought with all of the crap that goes on in our lives with our sick relatives, I think maybe doing this thread will help people focus on the good stuff in life, maybe give some hope to some people who are struggling out there. Feel free to contribute to this thread!
One: I got a vacuum cleaner belt for my vacuum online today for 10% off today, plus free shipping.
Two: My favorite OTA channel is working again, after a couple days of pain in the rear transmitter maintenance.
Three: I get Wednesday off (Mom is going to her activities on Wed, meaning that I will not have to help her unpack on Wednesday. Very nice to get a day off)
My good things:
I am caught up on laundry, except the sheets.
I baked for the first time in 2 months.
I saw an ultrasound photo of my first grandchild today. The baby will be here in March.
I cooked a nice meal today. Don't usually do that.
I did the first part of cleaning my oven, been putting it off too long. It is with the baking soda paste method so it has to sit til in the a.m. then I finish.
My nice neighbor lady stopped by and we had a nice chat.
My happy moment was reading that you saw the ultrasound of your grandchild. How wonderful!
I don’t have grandchildren but I have a granddog. My daughter has the cutest little toy poodle that I watch for her sometimes. This little dog thinks he’s human. Hahaha
Is this your first grandchild?
HOPE for that phone call regarding arrests . im sure its going to happen ( the judge and detectives have no doubts as to what happened ) but i haveta say -- the wait is difficult .
my grandson doesnt know that i exist . that phone call will remedy that injustice .
I am going to have hope with you if you don’t mind. Your situation breaks my heart. I have a feeling that you would be a phenomenal grandfather. Many hugs!
I admire your faith and hope and your desire for justice. So I am going to believe right along with you, okay? 💗 Transitional times are the hardest but one day, one very sweet day, it will happen. I believe it and I know you do too. When it does happen I sincerely hope that you will find peace. You deserve it.
freakin patience is a lot easier to proclaim that it is to implement .
Please enjoy your upcoming Wednesday off since your mom will be busy with her activities. Please post what a great time you had. Do something fun!
I am sure it is. I’ve waited for a lot of things in my lifetime and I wasn’t always patient either but the things I waited for even though they were important to me pale in comparison with what you are waiting for.
I wouldn’t dare insult you by pretending to understand how you feel. I can’t imagine and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
Promise me you will let us know when your nightmare or living hell is over. My grandpa used to say that heaven and hell are right here on earth. You know what? He was right.
I absolutely adored my grandpa. I spent a lot of time with him growing up and he spoke many words of wisdom. I didn’t quite understand everything he said when I was younger but that’s okay, because he knew that one day I would. He planted seeds to grow, food for thought and his words often come to my mind now and they certainly live in my heart. I feel that’s the kind of grandfather you would be.
My grandpa was larger than life to me. He was the kind of guy that anywhere you went with him, everybody knew him. That was cool but what I especially remember from my earliest years until his death he always proudly introduced me to everyone he knew. I felt so special when I was with him. He was a kind and generous man. I don’t mean that in a materialistic way, although he did help others when he could, but generous with the gift of self, his heart, which is most important.
2) My amazon order is shipping out today

However we walked out of the restaurant tonight and right in to the cameramen for a certain very popular TV show.

It's not big things but small things and sometimes the smallest good things can make a big difference in your life.

My 3 good things for today:
It's FRIDAY. My aunt will stay home and watch my mom so I only have to spend a couple of hours taking her out today.
I'm going to cook a new dish I saw on TV couple of days ago, a tortilla soup with flanken short ribs.
The kids and I got the Halloween decorations up in the front yard. Looks fun and festive not scary and ready for little trick or treaters.
comp time .
i just quit viasat internet because my local power company lit me up with high speed fiber . many customers of viasat complained that viasat grabbed 300 bucks from their checking even after they properly returned the leased equipment . my bank terminated my existing payment method so that doesnt happen . better luck next time -- buttholes -- .
great day at work . i was supposed to stock a big firewood shed for the weekend campers but i got sidetracked by fixing the poorly designed doors . enough firewood got stocked but the doors i fixed were a pet peeve of some damn key employees . a bit of dirty politics i would agree but nobody gets into a pissing contest with influential / key employees .
