Daisy, I'm very sorry to hear about Mr DB's cousin. Lifting your family up in prayer for peace and understanding.

Fearless, I only had to wait in line about 15 minutes and I was in the store for about 10, just had to pick up a few things.

Happy Easter to all! I'm grateful for a Saturday filled with cooking, gardening, and playing guitar. Such a full and satisfying day.

Grateful for several walks with Billie today. Grateful for the good weather.

Grateful that I don't drink anymore. I can't imagine going thru this crisis and having to think about getting my next drink...

Grateful to be back in my home office this morning, it's challenging to work this way but I'm very thankful to receive a paycheck.

Grateful for a nice walk with Luke today. The sun is out and the weather is nice, slightly chilly Spring day, but great for walking. Thank you Astro for your dog walking suggestions and least, your walking too. That seems like a good place to start, maybe at first, seeing how it goes with Luke and I, in the morning, maybe we'll start with a mile. I'm sure he'd love it! He loves making friends. Some people I'd rather he'd stay away from! I think some people are afraid of him because he's so big and he's such a love, esp with kids. I think that may be a German Shepherd thing, very good with kids and most children aren't afraid of him and can't wait to pet him! A woman yesterday had the most adorable son that she took pics of her son petting Luke. So cute ♥♥♥
Grateful for you all here. Sorry for my not being here for a couple of evenings. You are in my thoughts. I've been feeling kind of low, I think a lot of us are fighting this maybe, sometimes it's hard for me to write and there are so many cruddy things happening right now in my life, besides the pandemic. But still trying to stay positive through the anxiety. Prayers to anyone dealing with anxiety disorders. They are no picnic.
So very grateful for all of your helpful, wonderful posts.
Love, health and peace to every living creature, esp those in need.

I am sorry for your loss too, Daisy ❤️
Aly, that is so sweet about the woman taking pictures with her child petting Luke. I知 so sorry you are down. You do have a lot going on in addition to the pandemic. I知 glad you are here. Stay strong. We will get through this!
Groovy, good to see you and I hope you come back again. I知 sorry about your anxiety. We are definitely all feeling it in various degrees. I tell myself I知 fine then wake up with wild dreams of coughing and running out of breath or seeing dead bodies then I end up with a panic attack. I知 a little better now. It comes and goes and depends on what else is going on in a given day.
Grateful to have a long productive day both work and personal
Grateful to spend a lot of time with sonny boy jumping and playing games on the trampoline. Grateful that the teacher heard my concerns and implemented a new extra credit protocol with the distance learning for the kids who need more challenge
Grateful to discover that toothpaste can get out bleach stains on sterling silver. I was cleaning and got bleach on a bracelet and the mark came out with rubbing toothpaste on it. I read that on Google. Thank you, google!
Grateful to have face masks and also know how to hand make them. They are now mandatory in the next county over and probably will be in my county next
Grateful for each of you

Aly I don't think we'd be human if all of us weren't emotional and didn't have at least some anxiety over this, and it will affect some more than others. I'm almost afraid to take it too lightly so I'm trying to be cautious but not live in fear.

Grateful that all of you are here today to remind that the world is alright, just a little off balance in some ways right now, and that the majority of us will pull through this. I pray for those that are struggling or battling with health issues due to the virus.

Fearless, that was pretty darn cute of that mother taking pics of her toddler son petting Luke. I hope she got a good one!

Grateful for quiet morning walks, enjoying the sights and sounds of the quail in our neighborhood, and returning home to our office, coffee and whatever we decide on for breakfast. I'm grateful for these daily routines.

Daisy, I'm so sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences. My thoughts are prayers are with you now my love. ♥♥♥
Grateful for a cute talk with 2 boys who are very dog savvy. They just got an adorable puppy and they love Luke and visa versa. Good thing I love kids as much as animals. We must have talked for an hour. Grateful for my kid friends around the neighborhood. Luke and I love them and they are so entertaining!
Grateful for all of you being here now. It means so much to me to be able to come here for some normalcy. Without my grats and SR, I don't even want to think of the place I could possibly be in.
Love, peace and prayers for anyone suffering, esp our human and animal homeless population and prayers to those struggling. All my love.♥♥♥
