Dh and I worked in the flower beds and window boxes today. Got all the plants planted just in time for the rain. Felt good to be outside and it was about t80 degrees so not too hot. Are you sure not too early? Snow in forecast for co. Never plant before mothers day....take those plants inside...we went to nursery today and abstained from purchasing. Great to look at flowers....cheers

I forgot it was 5-5 Bull’s Gate Portal Day for the first part of the morning and I got to print a receipt out that said 5-5 at 11:11. And then I signed a customer up for a rewards card that had sunflower in her email and the number 11. I’ve been seeing sunflowers a lot the past year or so and never thought of associating it with the number 11. (I had this insight come to me once about how sunflowers are both masculine (SUN/fire/outer) and feminine (FLOWer/water/inner) in this beautiful harmonic energy. And I associate the number 11 with a feminine energy and 22 with a masculine energy (I have the insight about that written around here somewhere). And when I looked at the customers email, the time said 11:22. And that made me very happy because it totally resonated that Sunflower is aligned with the 1122 frequency. (It’s the little things ☺️)

It was a wonderful day today, perfect sunny weather, and my daughter and I did a little fun shopping and then met my other daughter and two granddaughters for lunch at Claim jumpers. Finally this evening, we all met up again at my house for pizza, cake and gifts to celebrate my one granddaughter's 21st birthday.

DH decided to go to town with me and joined in on my Sunday morning meditation group and participated. It was pretty great. We went to Target and home goods and then to my fav place for lunch and a pitcher of margaritas then home for a 'nap'.
It was accidentally a perfect day of my fav things.

It was Coming of Age service at my UU congregation today and I got to hear the personal credos of three fabulous teens. Inspiring and made me feel a bit hopeful. Visited with tons of friends after the service and then had a long leisurely lunch with a close friend. Came home and called another dear friend who moved away a couple of years ago and has recently returned home from the hospital. It was great to catch up with her too.
Oh, and delicious Indian food!

Work went well, without incident, I came home and was able to watch an eagerly awaited finale of a tv series without interruptions and then I did some scrapping. A nice day.

Got a call from DDs therapist confirming her dad and I can come in with her tomorrow and have the “we are getting divorced” talk with her guidance. It’s going to be a shitshow, but I am so so ready to just get this all out there and start making plans for the future.
Not exactly happy news of course, but I really need to start moving forward. And this is step one.
I’d like to point out my great self restraint in not just offing the asswipe and feeding him to my dogs.

I think I just might post happy threads often so we can all find one little thing each day that brings us even just a moment of joy no matter how small. I know we all have stress and trials on a daily basis and I know I many times I have trouble looking past that to find happiness. Heck even being without pain for an hour can be a happy moment of getting a good nights sleep! Maybe even sharing a happy memory when we can’t find something for the day can help. Off to bed but I hope this thread is filled from all the Peasxqith something that made them smile today! Yes you should do it, I love a good happy thread! Some weeks you have to look for the happy, we've had nonstop rain and it's getting to everyone here! My happy comes from just snuggling in my comfy bed the last few nights snuggled up against dh.

Seriously, you should feel good about moving forward. I love the idea of engaging the therapist in talking with your DD. Good luck!

Long story short...I spent time with my grandsons last weekend while their parents went to dinner. To say they were “feisty” would be an understatement as evidenced by the broken door on the TV cabinet amongst other transgressions. I had to rat them out and they were punished and had to write totally adorable apology letters to me. (They are 8 & 5) I got a text today from the oldest saying, “I miss you”.

The sun is shining and it is supposed to hit 70 degrees. We have has mostly rain and days in the 50s. Granted I am not really happy but I will probably smile when I get out of work.

I went to a concert with a friend and then she invited me to her farm to pick daffodils. Her husband was there and cut some asparagus right from the ground for me. I went home and gave my mom the daffodils and we cooked up the asparagus for dinner. It’s the simple moments that are so beautiful.

After a long winter of demolition, disappointment, delays, more demolition, nearly complete reconstruction and way too much dust, sand and mud, our cabin is finally starting to come together. Kind of like a phoenix rising up from the ashes. The siding is on. The screen porch is almost done. Sheet rock is up and the tapers have been busy last week so it’s almost ready for paint. We scored an extreme deal on a front entry door ($850 vs. $3500) and on a bathroom vanity top ($50 vs. $250-300) and on composite decking boards ($1.50 per foot vs. $5-6 per foot) and on premium vinyl plank flooring (less than $2 per square foot). So in spite of going tens of thousands of dollars over budget, we were able to add a few things back in. Our contractor has been a miracle worker. It will be beautiful when it’s done. I’m also happy that I was able to successfully renegotiate the advertising contract for DH’s business, from $1500 a month down to $500 a month for essentially the same package we had. I stuck to my guns and they caved! That one thing will save us $12k over the next 12 months. Not too shabby! And finally, the weather is supposed to cooperate tomorrow for the outdoor field trip I’m helping to chaperone for DD’s class at a nature preserve. The forecast is for a high of 60° and sunny, I’ll take it!

I slept last night, without my meds, waiting for refills.. and I got a text message late last night that one of my fav cousins and her daughter are driving through and we'll meet up with them later today, they live in a different state. I don't see family very often we're all spread out everywhere. We're in the middle.

DH & I were able to go out, by ourselves, for our anniversary dinner...not with our boys, or as part of Mother's Day/DS's birthday, or late because we spent the evening at the ball fields (like the last several years!)
DH even picked the place without asking & it was incredible. It was the most we've ever spent on a meal, but it was so good!
Today is not so great, thunderstorms continue to roll thru--we've had a ton of rain in the last 12 hours & our wifi has been out just as long...

It is not yet 9 AM here today but it was nice to see my boyfriend this morning as he got ready for work and I love being around our six cats.
I have some fun activities planned for this weekend and if the weather is decent, that should make for a good time. I thought rain was expected today but it may hold off and it is supposed to be quite warm the rest of the weekend so it should get people out and about.
