Share something positive that happened to you today.

Today, I got to introduce the horses to three young kids that live across from the stables. Their little faces just lit up when I let them feed DJ a carrot. And their mom was just so thrilled that we took the time to let them see them up close. So, now, tomorrow, the oldest girl is volunteering go scoop poop with me in the morning!

    My husband installed a new car stereo to replace the one that died. Now I don't have to listen to the radio!

    Well, 9pm on a Sunday and I'm smiling - so that is something good.

    Found a goldmine of old live PJ.

    (gah!)

    Told my sweetheart I love him and gave him a kiss on the head.

    Did the same with our kitties.

    To not give thanks for such simple beauty, the love that surrounds? Would be remiss, and really, a fucking idiot.

    Thank you for the gentle nudge there, Tree :)

    Met a guy randomly in a parking lot that I used to work with 11 years ago that I haven't seen since. He and his wife are doing great. Was thinking of him earlier in the day. Go figure.

    Put Bleach around the rim and base of the trash can. Do this for about a week. They'll stop getting in the trash.

    These little guys are very bleach sensitive, and they will leave it alone.

    I started to shoot them with my paint ball gun. That kept them away for a while. But I'll try the bleach. I'll save on buying paint balls!

    My daughter finally jumped into the pool this weekend - on her own. Quickly graduated to running and jumping into the pool shortly thereafter...

    Today was a sad day. I tried to lighten the mood with some 1970s southern charm to keep it posimist.

    Now kindly go shove a roll of quarters up your ass, sideways!

    My step-daughter was moving some of her stuff today and dropped a box containing some of her classic old Pyrex colored mixing bowls. She broke a few of them and she was having a bit of a rough day as it was so that was just too much. But later today her mother told her daughter she would inherit a nice set of four some day and so bad day turned good. Nice!
