Guest nonesuch Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 1) New guy suggested a Craig's List ad might unearth someone to cut up and take our tree. 20 minutes after posting the ad, a fellow with more time than money had offered to do just that so he could heat his house with the wood this winter. Win-win. 2) Boss let me go home early. 3) Maxine the simple cat has had her territory extended to include the whole house, and has only one time urinated on the floor to protest a dirty litter box. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovelorne Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I believe these "three good things" threads are very important. We all need to recognize the silver lining. 1. I woke up at 6:30 and had the dogs walked by 8 am. (Florida - the only "cool" time is around dawn). 2. My bf works 2nd shift and sleeps late, but while he was asleep I went to Lowe's and got more landacape fabric and staples. I was working in the yard before he even woke up. 3. We had grilled shrimp wrapped in bacon! And grilled pineapple! YAY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TofinoMan Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 1. My Boo for her hugs and kisses. 2. The nice guys who are tearing down my old fence and replacing it with a nice new one. 3. The new tires on my jeep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatianakm Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 1. Great friends invited us to spend a week at the shore. 2. First tooth made its appearance today- quite exciting! 3. We shared a pretty special bottle of wine, and even more special time together, breathing in salty air, feeling its comforting touch on the skin and healing the heart. I did not think people can surprise me anymore, not at a point when can develop meaningful friendships easily; these guys are pretty amazing!

TofinoMan Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 1. Today was better than yesterday, which was rather rough. 2.

Guest nonesuch Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 My application to the shelter reached the top of the pile. I'm now a foster mom of three kittens. That's three good things, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TofinoMan Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Had a nice day with a mixture of things to do so no time to get bored for sure. While away working for a few hours I came home to a very excited child that had fancy nails done, surprise to me and her. My jeep is washed yay because a very nice person washed it for me today.

mmg19 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Another school year. 1. My boys liked teachers, connected with friends they hadn't seen all summer, and were up and ready on their own. 2. I'm so thankful to be starting year 2 in a job I love. 3. Best summer in years. No vacation, no trips, but accomplished goals set in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I think this thread could use a bump. I've been struggling with some seriously negative feelings as of late- time to get back into the gratitude habit. 1. It is a beautiful cool, sunny day and- thanks to modern technology- I am on the porch enjoying it while also on the Internet! Yes, I know, I should be weeding instead... 2. I spent yesterday with an old friend I haven't seen for several years. It was really lovely spending time with her and her young son. 3. I'm so grateful I eventually got my love of baking back as it soothes my soul like nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2fish Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 1. I spread the loam and grass seed today in time for the next few days of rain. Just in time! 2. The black flies are not out yet. 3 This thread was bumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 1. Have been enjoying the Katherine Hepburn brownies I made. 2. The last two days have been perfect for gardening- have gotten a lot done. It's nice to feel a sense of accomplishment. 3. My 15 yr old blind deaf dog has not peed or pooped in the house today (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 (Sigh)...forget number three. Today I'll hafta content myself with two good things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missing AC Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 1. Came home this past Sunday to find my neighbor sent his kid over to mow my front yard. It was a nice gesture. 2. Had a nice lunch on Tuesday with a friend. 3. I've been getting my exercise in and going for brisk walks all this week. Hope the motivation continues 'cause I need to lose weight and haven't done anything since my DH passed 5 months ago. 4. I haven't really shed tears this week. Okay, so that was 4 and I could probably add a couple more. Yes, its been a much better week. Should I be worried? Is there a big low coming my way?

Bunny Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 1. The unending ceaseless relentless rain will be good for the wildflower seeds I scattered. 2. My bf made a strawberry rhubarb pie. 3. Finally saw Rogue One and it was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TofinoMan Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 1. FAMILY 2. FRIENDS 3. LEFTOVER PIZZA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanGenie Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 It's been a good couple days, so figured I should capture this while it lasts! 1. The push mower started on the first pull. 2. I found the ring I lost earlier this week. It's not fancy, just a simple silver ring I bought myself recently and somehow it had fallen off and disappeared. 3. Realizing one of the "good" things about being alone is that when I'm singing out loud to the car radio, no one cares that I only know half the words! And, yes, as this thought crossed my mind, it made me smile rather than cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenHeart2 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Just love your 3 good things JG! I can relate to your #3, I'm listening to Chris Deburgh Spanish Train cranked full out. I haven't done this in more than 5 yrs and it's kind of making me feel all over the place. If that makes any sense. Your #1... haha I can never pull start the equipment at the start of the season, nope never could so I wait til I can find some muscle to do it. My muscle man died on me. Now on to my 3 good things (I think I've only posted here once) 1. My cousin came yesterday and spent the night. We had a great time together. 2. She is going to have her BF help me finish stuff up here to sell. I really need to go. 3. I'm listening to Chris DeBurgh full tilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 1. An old friend is in town for the weekend, visiting from Canada. It's been really nice hanging out with him. 2. Got invited to a friend's house to hear some live music last night- a couple from New Mexico that play a bluegrass/Cajun blend. It was fun! 3. I decided to do a juice fast this week. I'd forgotten how labor-intensive it is and how much vegetables and fruit it takes, but I'm feeling really good. (I, too, love singing along to my car radio- been listening to a lot of classic rock and I'm a big fan of making up new lyrics!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmg19 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 1. We were all able to take my parents to cemetery and also decorate graves with new spouse for his late wife and my late husband. 2. Out of town friends are spending 2 days with us and we are having cookout, kids friends, and family. 3. School is almost out and time to rest from school work (a little), refresh the mind, and enjoy the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
