    Day #66

    Good morning lovely ladies. This morning I am grateful for coffee. I know this sounds trivial but sitting in the kitchen looking out the window on a Saturday morning and enjoying a couple of cups of coffee is one of my small pleasures. 

    Susie, sorry to read about your loss. (((((Susie)))))

    Grateful for the forecast of a 'warming trend'.

    I think people who find pleasure in little things are the happiest people....life has many more 'ordinary' than 'extraordinary' moments. Smile

    Ruth, thanks for sharing "Make the Ordinary Come True".  I had never read those words before but they are wonderful ones.

    I am grateful for dark chocolate which I can eat now and my hiaitel hernia does not rebel and cause pain after doing so.

    I am grateful OncoWarrior put something about Daylight Savings Time on another thread I read, because otherwise I wouldn't have known. I looked it up a little while ago but must have gotten my wires crossed, as I thought it wasn't until the 29th! I have re-set my clock now!!

    Day 66: grateful DD was home today (and could de-stress a bit). Also glad I got the live lizard out of the house - the one the cat brought in. Also, got a streak of energy and pulled a whole lot of weeds (ground soft from recent rains so easy to do).

    Day 67: grateful a friend called and we had a long talk. Went out this evening and to attend a friend's presentation on a new business venture; lots of streets closed, many detours so glad I didn't get lost (with a little help from GPS in the middle of nowhere). 

    We're 2/3 through our 100 days!

    Day #68

    Today I am grateful to get that silly heart monitor off. Tough to sleep well with wires all over the place. I move a lot when sleeping. 

    Still don't get DST. Who is it better for? We have one province in Canada that refuses to change their clocks. It's primarily agricultural and I totally get it. Cows don't know DST and still want to get milked at the same time! Going to be a bummer going to work in the dark again.

    Have a lovely Sunday ladies.

    Thanks for the hugs. My friend was 45, so young, which makes me think about the saying Ruth posted. I am grateful for those ordinary moments,because, when we look back it is those ordinary moments that we cherish.

    Day 68: grateful that some OTC pills helped me feel better today. Was pleased (and shocked) that DD expressed appreciation for doing some things for her (laundry, got some things she wanted), as well as making a big Sunday dinner (sliced turkey breast, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and corn bread dressing) and me doing all the dishes so she get caught up with homework and paperwork from her 2 jobs. 

    HBC, saw your photo of the rose - beautiful! Turns out some of my roses have bloomed and died but I didn't know as they're on the side of the house, not visible by windows.

    Red, glad the monitor is off. 

    Curve, I remember forsythia, haven't thought about that in years, 

    Ruth, glad you got outside. 

    Susie, sorry for your loss.

    Pooh, that gadget looks cool!
