Grateful to have slept in my own bed last night, and it's a new bed, which I liked very much. So hard to pick a bed correctly but I may have guessed right this time.
Grateful there is a lot happening at my spiritual community this weekend ... I'm feeling really lonely and bereft, having aborted my vacation in the middle of the trip. But there are several gatherings including a concert and a passover seder/dinner so I can be among friends, or at least acquaintances.
Grateful for a friend checking in with me by text the whole time I was working my way back home from my trip. It took me several days of travel to get back home, and she worried about me the whole way.
Grateful it's beautiful spring weather here.
Grateful to have a dr's appointment tomorrow to see what's up with my eardrum.
Grateful I have a washing machine for all my laundry from the trip.
Grateful for sunshine today.

Tursiops - I'm sad that happened to your eardrum - hoping infection clears up quickly.
Fearless - How exciting to plan for retirement. I have loved it - the luxury of doing things at our own convenience. (Up at 4am - aka the middle of the night! )
NL - Hey, I never thought of that They are trying to tell me, 'Hey lady, the feeders are empty.....need some seed over here." Love it that you're included in lake house trip - hope you have a wonderful time.
Aly - Hope therapy session is helpful & you found the stuff you were supposed to read.
Grateful the clouds are moving out of here. So gloomy.
Grateful to put chairs & table back out on the deck - hopefully, no more snow. (Last year we had a storm on 4/19 though.)
Grateful for each of you - & to be some small part of your life.

Hi friends

I am grateful to be back online

Grateful for the quick delivery of the new Wi-Fi box and prepaid shipping label to send back the first one.

Grateful to work with nice and funny people at my new job. I hope we all can stick around.

Grateful that the recycling bin got emptied.

Grateful for the good rainstorm we got last night, and that it didn’t start until after I got home.

Grateful for the message I got online (I follow a lot of profiles about spirituality) that the angels are waiting to assist, and to just ask for them to intervene and ease our worries.

Grateful to be in recovery with such good peeps

Alpine, did I already say how much I enjoyed the Price is Right meme? I might have just thought it so now I am saying it.
Free, that really stinks about losing your post!
Purp, I recently had the same thing with getting a new Wi-Fi box (quickly) and them making it easy to return the old one. And my recycling bin just got emptied too!
Happy Friday everyone!

Grateful
- I got to see so many old friends yesterday. It’s so good for the soul. I had one friend drop by and give me a little care package. Met two others for happy hour. Even though the organizer of the HH had to bail, I asked them to go anyhow. And they did. After that I met yet another friend for a walk and some iced tea. What a privilege to fill my cup like that.
- for a good therapy session. Distressing in the sense that it validated some of my worries but still good.
- that I woke up at 4 am. Lots to do!
- for sleep meditations
- for all of you.

Purp - Grateful you are back - also, that you enjoy your new job. Hope that feeling lasts.
Free - It's nice to have feeders here, but I do miss the wild & crazy Catskills where the bears would visit. Snow tires off? How optimistic of you. (J/K - but we did have a snowstorm here on this very day one year ago.)
Alp - Nice to have a walk and a talk.
Grateful for today's posts. Love & appreciate you all.
Grateful it is not precipitating at the moment.
Grateful the stuff we planted last year has buds on it - hope the weather stays mild.
Grateful for our GP.

Purps, glad you got your wifi back and that so far your new coworkers are nice!
CBS, well done on the tennis match.
Free, congrats on ditching the snow tires!
FBL, glad you're back in the swing of things.
NL, happy you are getting time with friends.
Alpine, yay for walks - good for the soul.
Grateful I'm sleeping well despite jet lag/15 hour time difference.
Grateful I reached Mr. T's sister, she is in the hospital but ok, I will drive up to visit her today. Sad situation ... a grifter lives with her and they have developed a hoarding situation and are at risk of eviction, on top of her health problems. I will do what I can today but it won't be much ... legally she can make her own decisions.
Grateful for a visit with daughter in law and grandkids last night.
Grateful for a dr's appointment this morning to look at my ear.
