I'm having a bit of a rough night tonight, and hearing upbeat, happy news from Pea friends would help me to focus on the positive. Care to share some sunshine from your corner of the world?

We went to the zoo on this warmest day so far this year in Chicago. Lots of happy families out. And the giraffes were out for the first time after winter. We were treated to a giraffe carefully bending legs and neck to sip from a watering hole. In all the years we’ve been going, it’s the first time we saw that.

My evening chores are done. I have Girl Scout cookies (lemon) and a cup of hot tea.
It's the simple things.

My 10 year old grandson's baseball starts next week! Nothing I like better than watching him play ball. He's quite the little pitcher.

My DH and I just had a glass of craft beer and played two games of crib. Last game, I crafted a catch-up move but he won by two points!!

My mom had two health scares last week, and all turned out just fine. God is good ALL THE TIME. I came home from a week of travel to two cities, and my kids, DH, and fur baby are all well. Well wishes to Legacy Girl from the Big Apple!

My sister is visiting. We haven't seen each other in more than two years, and we have a lot of catching up to do. Sending prayers to you.

My DD moved into her own apartment in Jan and has been planning on adopting a dog as soon as she was settled. A close friend called and told DD that her employer had a 9 yo dog that she needed to rehome - would DD be interested? DD went and met the dog and fell in love! Turned out the owner is recently divorced with a 3 yo and is working on her doctorate. She just didn’t have enough time to be a good doggy mom and she recognized it. She was so thrilled that DD had a list of questions regarding the dog’s health and habits. She said this told her what kind of doggy mom DD would be.
My new grand dog is a Papillon named Cherry and she is adorable! She is housebroken and crate trained and she’s already taught DD her signal for needing to go outside. She will be one spoiled and loved family member for the rest of her life. DD is just over the moon to have this pup in her life.

DH has been going through testing and assessment for Alzheimer's. 6 months of anxiety and stress. It's not the big A. It's a vascular thing.

My elderly dog that we thought was a goner and paralyzed is playing indoor fetch with me. He might actually be a cat using up his nine lives.

I’m staying with grandson #2 (2 1/2 yo) tomorrow & I’m sure we will be playing outside.

I have just been to lunch with DH, DS, DDiL and my 2 week old granddaughter, though she pretty much slept through it all. Best bit was - my DS's school has 'Hawaiian Shirt Fridays', and yesterday while I was shopping, he messaged me to ask if I could look out for mini Hawaian shirts for the baby. I couldn't find shirts, but did find a little onesie/dress in an appropriate print. They rocked up to lunch - DS in his wild purple shirt, and baby girl in her pretty pale blue with pink flowers dress.

After a long winter the huge trees in our backyard are just starting to bud leaves and turn green, the hyacinths are coming up, and the birds are chirping more each day! Spring is coming! It won't be too long now! Even if it snows more it won't be hanging around for long.
I hope tomorrow is a better day for you!

I'm driving to the other side of the state tomorrow to spend the weekend with my 23 year old daughter. Just for fun, just to hang out, just because we enjoy each other's company.

I’m sorry you’re having such a rough night (((hugs)))
We went to see Fiddler on the Roof tonight, it is one of our very favorite shows and the production was excellent. I loved watching DH sit there and try not to sing out loud and shake his shoulders dancing. It was awesome. My other favorite parts were the amazing voices and stage set up/props, very good quality.
Then we came home and even though it was midnight we still did my PT stretches because they have such a positive impact on my life and ability to move through my physical issues and pain. We actually decided I was progressing so much we should see if I am ready to add different stretches to the mix.
Even though I had 2 extra cheat meals this week, I anticipate a loss on the scale tomorrow. After 30 years of not knowing how to control my appetite and weight, we have finally figured out a sustainable way of eating that leaves me both satiated and allows me to lose weight. Life changing.
Thank you, it’s always a good reminder to spend time thinking of all that is going well in our lives. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you and you are able to think of a few positive things for yourself!

Love hearing the happy! We should do this more often.
My happy is I just put the last stitch in a quilt I started years ago. It kept being shoved back into the closet while I worked on other quilts. ALSO I got the next quilt sandwiched and ready for the quilting tomorrow. If feels so goood to cross off these unfinished projects

Thank you all for brightening my evening. Such good news -- in large and small ways. Hope we can keep this thread going, because who can't use a little more good news?
And thank you all for the warm thoughts and well wishes. I am under the weather, and coming face to face with a close relative's declining health due to Parkinson's. I think my exhaustion is significantly contributing to my ability to cope, so I'm off to bed. And giving thanks for all of you!

We watched our daughter perform in (yet another!) musical last night & she honestly blows me away. She commands the stage & boy, can she sing! Not only is she talented but she’s smart & hard-working & she was just short-listed as head girl of her school (having been convinced to stand by pleas from members of staff)
Also our son is due home next weekend from his second year at uni. He’s had another fabulous year and learnt so much about himself (as well as about his degree subject!). Next year, if the UK government can ever sort themselves out, he should be going abroad for the year.
I have lots to smile about.

Praying you feel better today! My daughter was inducted into the medical school honors society last week. So proud. Only 13 students inducted out of first and second year students! And tomorrow I am going to see another daughter, and we are going to see the University's production of "Little Women." That should be fun!

My son's charge was dismissed in court yesterday. worth every penny of the $2000 I paid for a great lawyer. I called for my retirement paperwork which is on its way to me, so I have less than 50 working days left.
For me those make me so happy I could bust!

I hope you feel better today and that you get a good night of sleep or several. Yesterday, it was 64F here. I had windows open. I got dd who hasn't wanted to come out of bed to not only come out and sit with me, she was moving around and happy. The dogs and the cat also joined us, even ds when he was taking a break from school. Then yesterday evening we all played a game together. oh, and DH gets $$ to spend on products that his new company creates as part of his hiring package, so last night I spent the rest of the $$. I picked out a new dishwasher, a mixer, a garage freezer, and dh picked out a toaster and microwave/hood.

My old kindle died, won't turn on, it's about six years old. DH was all set to buy me a new paperwhite but I said I wanted to see if there was a solution, it hadn't been glitchy or given any signs of being on the way out.
Google is my friend, so I learnt that I should hold the on button for a full two mins, lo and behold, it worked. Very happy.
