What Made You Happy Today?

After a minor storm, the wifi went out. I'm so technologically defunt and a dinosaur, that the anxiety in me thought, "...oh-no, what if I try to reset things myself, to see if the connection will come back...and it DOESN'T and then I have to CALL and talk to people...blah-blah-blah."

Well, I sat down to visualize myself doing it, (had another cup of coffee and another cig and a pep talk). Then, I did it and it worked. Phew.

No telephone calls to have to have a support guy "talk me through the process" -- easy-cheesy stuff for them. (I'm so old-school!)

So relieved...so happy.
 
Saturday I did something nice for my older brother; I took care of his daughters while he and his wife went on a much-needed date night.

It made me happy to do something nice for my brother and I got to spend time with my baby girls.

I am also starting my new job which makes me incredibly excited because I will get to work with children. I'm nervous because the training takes a long time but they seem confident that I can do this.

My therapist said something the other day in an email that made me feel 'warm'. That's the only explanation for the feeling I had when she said she doesn't like what we have to talk about because it hurts me but she'd never ask me to do it if she didn't think it would help. I don't know the word for the emotion but it was a good feeling.
 
I brought someone a smoked chicken dinner with all the trimmings. Cole slaw, potato salad and cheese biscuits. He ate it all.

The day before I brought my friend's mom catfish and watermelon.

The day before that I gave two peacock feathers to a client I filled in for one evening and his private care giver. He had a stroke and has blindness in one eye and right side paralysis. He likes to play with his cat with the feather, but his feather was in pretty bad shape.

I find I feel better doing some nice things. Today I want to find a rubber snake for someone who has a plum tree. He has a piece of rope in the tree and has been moving the rope, very patiently each day to keep the birds out and away from his green plums.
