Grateful for everyone's lovely posts today - they mean so much.
Grateful that the snow has stopped.
Grateful that MrHev found a place to buy a few masks. (Homemade, but we'll take them.) Some stores here won't even let customers in without them.
Grateful to know that when this is over we'll be more appreciative of our normal lives. I hope I never forget what it's been like.
Grateful to know that every day you'll all be here when I sign on.

Hevyn, couldn't agree more, these posts mean so much.
Grateful for all the support on my gabapentin w/d s. Not fun. Thank you all so very much for your kindness. I always ask about withdrawals before I go on any med a doctor gives me and weight gain and I didn't ask about this one. Life's lessons.
Grateful that I feel like I'm falling behind on the things I have to do, but I just realized/remembered I am letting go and letting God. Things will get done. Grateful for my mom. She's being really kind about my not feeling well and falling behind. Grateful for my mom so much. She's in her 80s and I love and appreciate her so much.
Thinking of Rose. Wishes that she is well.

I miss Rose too and hope she’s well
Butter marsh, glad you are here with us
Aly, sorry you are still going through the Gabepentin withdrawals. I hope that ends soon. Glad your mom is there for you.
Hev, yeah it’s crazy. The masks/face coverings are now mandatory in many counties here. Not wearing one while leaving your house is now a misdemeanor. I don’t believe we have to wear if we are able to maintain six feet distance from others in open space, such as hiking, or when driving.
Grateful to get out for a hike and picnic with MR F. We did not wear masks in the open space, but did see a few others with them. Grateful to run into a couple neighbors and have a social distance conversation ��
Grateful for the song “Magic” by the Cars
Grateful to watch Napoleon Dynamite for like the 10th time
Grateful to find replacement parts for the trampoline and some tent/shade ideas for sleepovers for sonny boy (when he shelters are lifted, of course)
Grateful for fort building on the stair case and landing
Grateful to watch son do his Zoom karate
Grateful to spend creative and quality time with son working on birthday card for his teacher and I painted some rocks
Grateful that when my mandala rock painting turned out ugly, I repainted and turned it into a cool piece of abstract art
Grateful ai can come here any time of day, even though it’s actually evening now. It’s morning somewhere!

Grateful to choose to walk away from the quacking.

Grateful for the season of spring; although I am impatiently waiting for warmer temps. It is chilly here; so much more like fall weather.

NL, I hope your headache gets better. I've been suffering with them too lately and they just make things harder.
Grateful to finally have gotten the color on my hair and I'm about to wash it out. I hope it turns out, if not well, at least ok. Lol!
So grateful to be able to come here. It helps ease my anxiety knowing my friends are here and we're all supporting each other.
Love, peace and health to all.

Grateful for all of you

Grateful Fearless got to enjoy a plan-free day yesterday. Thank you for your kindness about my husband, I indeed meant a figurative wall in the psychological sense.
Grateful Hevyn's dryer has miraculously self-healed! LOL Thanks also for your kind comment about my husband.
Grateful always for Aly's repertoire of emojis that make me smile! I hope the hair colour worked out well.
Grateful Least has Billie.
Grateful Courage is in good health.
Grateful Mags is appreciating home comforts and feeling calm.

Take care, kind souls
