Grateful it's Friday.

Grateful Henry appears to have made a strong, full recovery from his knee surgery. He's hopping around like a goon. Two more weeks on leash and then he can run free!

Numblady 03-09-2019 04:57 AM

Grateful Daisy is back! Know people come and post when they can and don’t when they can’t but I am so used to posting right after (and at the same time as Palmer :) ) it threw me for a loop!
Grateful my sister is in town and we have no particular plans.
Grateful to be able to try and remember things with others are very rarely about us. Last night my son’s two best friends were again going home together and they wanted him to come but the mom wasn’t up for that many kids (understandable). This has been a pattern (the other two arranging sleepovers and he not being part of the plan) and he was so devastated, crying hot tears down a dusty face from all the rocks on the playground, kicking the rocks on our walk to the van, kicking the seat in the van and yelling. My heart hurts with him but I know it’s not permanent and that it could reflect better planning on other people’s part as much as anything.
Grateful it’s at least sprinkling and it sounds like we may get some real rain later next week.
Grateful I don’t have to go anywhere near the nonsense and traffic of South by Southwest.
Grateful to be getting more experience tending plants. Ironically this is enabling me to give up on some of them sooner and to not feel like I am murdering them.
Grateful to be here with all of you in this sweet almost sacred space.

Lascaux 03-09-2019 05:00 AM

Grateful for the daffodils (or are they jonquils?) popping up all over the place, as are my brand-new basil seedlings. There will be pesto!

Rusty Zipper 03-09-2019 05:07 AM

grateful to go out for a'pizza last night with band guys and not desire a beer

Anaya 03-09-2019 05:20 AM

I look forward to reading what's shared and am grateful for the opportunity to participate in this forum.

I am grateful that my pouty attitude has changed up somewhat with getting a restful night's sleep.

Look out! We're "losing one hour" of sleep tonight...however, it is the beginning of the longer days -- something I'm really looking forward to. :)

Spring has almost sprung. It will be great to get outside and get to walking more.

WaterOx 03-09-2019 05:50 AM

Grateful for more rain lol :)

Fearlessat50 03-09-2019 08:27 AM

Grateful Daisy’s back
Glad Alys appt went well
Numblady, I’ve had the same experience with my son and his friends, and it rips my heart out to see him sad and feeling left out, even when his friends don’t mean it.
Grateful for my awesome new running music playlist. It’s raining today, but tomorrow on Spring forward day it’s not supposed to be, and I am getting out there. Thinking about signing up/training for an event. We will see. For today I’m happy with my treadmill
Grateful for things in bloom! I’ve got to plant some basil. Pesto sounds good!
Grateful for my sunny mood this am

Good morning all and thank you, I'm glad to be back too though I'm never far away. It's part of my morning ritual to post here and it's the best start to my day, it doesn't feel quite right when I don't get to post. xxx

Numblady, I'm so sorry about your son, I really felt for him when I read your post. Kids can be cruel sometimes without even knowing it.
Wish I could send you some of our rain, we get more than our fair share in the U.K.

Grateful to hear the peeper frogs at 5 in the morning (excuse me, 6 in the morning now that we've sprung forward). Spring is coming!

Purplrks3647 03-10-2019 04:35 AM

Grateful to be up early on a Sunday morning, knowing that the day won't be spent with my face in the toilet :Val004:

Numblady 03-10-2019 05:42 AM

Grateful for all of you and the kindness here. Sometimes I don’t think I’ve got a thick enough skin for the other forums. All the support here and kind words, especially about my son, well, I’m just really grateful.
Grateful that I’m at least up early in the pre-time change hours.
Grateful my sis is an amazing cook and she made dinner for us last night, which we enjoyed outside in the beautiful weather.
Grateful it’s warm but it has been cold recently so all the mosquitos and other critters weren’t going full force.
Grateful I went to a brewery yesterday with my sister and some people she knows who were visiting and the brewery had MULTIPLE flavors of kombucha. And there were two brewery owners at our table (my sis being one of them) and I got to share how cool it is when breweries have things like kombucha or sparkling water or nitro coffee or whatever available, and it seemed to really sink in.
Grateful I signed up for a yoga class so I won’t work all morning.
Grateful that I get to come here to start each day.

Anaya 03-10-2019 05:46 AM

Grateful to get home safely last night.
Grateful to awaken to a new day, knowing it will be light outside longer and that I won't have to drive home from work in the dark anymore :)

Grateful to be looking forward on this Spring Ahead Day.

Fearlessat50 03-10-2019 08:28 AM

Grateful that when I made a mistake trimming my bangs too much (just couldn’t wait for my hair appointment next week), my son said “you still look like a fashion model, mom.” It’s amazing what we see through love colored glasses! My husband said something similar years ago when I tried coloring my own hair and it turned green.

Grateful for Spring forward
Grateful that the rain continues despite the prediction today would be a clear day
