Celebrating Good Days

[JEKBreatheandBelieve]

Today I went back to bed almost immediately after I got up. I was scared when the thunder boomed shortly after. But in spite of the rocky start, today was a good day. I drove the longest I have in over a year with only my oldest son in the car. I went to a book sale with just him. I also went out to dinner with a friend and drove home in the dark. Celebrating today and trying not to fear tomorrow.

I had a rough start today too, but tonight I helped a woman I barely know throw a party at my apartment's club house. I think she thought I worked there, so I just helped. I have no food, and no money and was counting on a weekend of being hungry and alone. Instead I was surrounded by children and got to play outside with them, I was fed more soul food than I knew my stomach could take in. It's weird, even in this awful poverty I have been forced into I have received more decency, kindness, and eaten better than I ever did with the wealthy abusers that pushed me here.

So happy for you to have a good day, and even happier that you got to share it with your son and a friend!

Hooray! Enjoy the good days or good moments. When they pass, know they will come again.

Thank you for posting this. I love to have a reason to celebrate. I think a celebration is in order for me today now. Good thread.

Its good to hear people helping each other out no matter what the motive. It doesn't matter as long as people benefit from others kindness.
