Random thankfulness check!! I need some happy thoughts

What's going right in your life today??

About a month ago, my stepdaughter and her husband separated. She and her 3.5 year old moved in and it's not been easy. The silver lining to it is that my grandson and I enjoy doing things together. We bummed around all day yesterday, got him a haircut, ice cream, did my errands, went to a playground and read together. Later today, he'll help me in the yard. So, although it's not a good situation overall, I'm bonding a lot with the little guy and it feels good.

Right now? I'm spending three or so hours a day in the early afternoon cutting and clearing storm downed trees out of my front and side yards. It's a lot of work, very physical, but also kind of therapeutic. I like that, it clears my mind and I sleep well even though I'm tired and sore. Once you learn the futility of complaining and just dig in and get to it life is so much simpler.

Birthday time with my baby boy...well when I say boy I mean, man (28!!!...wtf) and feeling as proud as fuck at what a kind, genuine, funny and generous person he is. Has a great work ethic and loves to life to the full. For someone who never grew up with a father figure I think I’ve done ok as one, his siblings are just as amazing too, so today is a good day.

I love this! He takes after you, Will. :kiss:
 
I spent yesterday with my own baby boy (21), for the first time in over a month. He was helping me out at a family member's house, but when we were done we went out for a meal, just the two of us, and then went for a short hike before it got dark. I got all caught up with his life, and we have more plans for several other weekends this month together and so it's going to be a good November.
 
I got a call last night from a friend that is relapsing. At least they didnt lie. Been going on for a couple months. But I knew that. I am confident they probably didnt like my honesty. It is simple people...you dont want to use? No fucking using people...no fucking using places. I cant help people that refuse to not take it seriously. It is my family. It was only pot. It is only alcohol. I only use on weekends. Nothing but excuses. So why the fuck you calling me? If it is only these things and they arent an issue?

I am so grateful it isnt me. I am so grateful I listened, even though I was convinced they were wrong. I am so grateful, that as the years passed, I began to see addiction for what it is. A spiritual disease.

It is going to get up to forty today...virtual heatwave. Gonna put cardboard in front of my radiator because this nice weather wont last long. Get sandbags filled for extra weight. Top off fluids. Basic winterize my truck.

I havent said it lately...but this place would not be the same without PLP. She, makes this place fun.
 
Spending the morning relaxing, I’m working til late tonight at what is now my... hmm I guess fourth job?
I’m tired already, hence the quiet morning. I made apple crisp and am looking at he pretty leaves out the window.

I think that I have found the path back to the profession that meant so much to me for so many years. The sun is out. The people here that make me smile every day, especially Will, AF, and BB today for the beautiful posts above about family. :heart:
My husband, who continues to support me through the changes and challenges.

What’s going right:

My kiddo is happy and healthy; she lights up my life.
I love the women I work with. And my actual job is pretty good too.
My house is clean, the bills are paid, there’s food on the table.
I’ve lost, and kept off, 50 lbs.
My nails look pretty good today.
I love my BF very much and we recently celebrated our 5th anniversary.
I have a circle of supportive, honest, and caring friends.
The weather is cooler outside, the house is quiet inside.
My folks are still alive n kickin.
I’ve read two (2!) fiction books in the last month. This is huge.
I’m at war with my hormones, but I know I’m not the first woman on earth to ever feel this way.
And the dishes are done, man. ;)

There are no wars on the horizon.
The only "news" is petty nonsense.
We haven't been hit by an asteroid.
We are all way better looking than we think.
There is a place for every one of us.
Porn is hot and free.
Even though the people on this forum are from all over the world we still found each other and continually soak each other's underwear, just for the hell of it.
Everyday life is overwhelming, breathtaking, exhausting, terrifying and fun.
I'm thankful for everything. All of it. The whole fucking, beautiful, tragic mess.
Life is pretty cool. :cool:

Happy November!!!

Post sex - are you a snoozer? Cuddle? Full of energy? What's your post sex mood and routine?

Depends on too many different factors, but my levels of energy coming into it, the time of day, and time pressures after are probably the biggest things. I really don't have a routine. So... 'yes' is all I can answer here.

I've got tickets bought to see my family some friends back in the UK over the holiday season.
I've felt broadly unhurried today, which is rare.
I've felt creative today, both in cooking and in a hobby, and results from both have been good.
All the household chores are done, and that's a simply but nice feeling.
Despite there being a lot I feel I need to make progress on, those are things for another day and right now, I breathe easy in my own skin.
 
- My beautiful friend just ran the NY marathon in 3.46minutes. What an amazing achievement. :heart: I’ve been up tracking him on the app. So proud and happy for him.
- I’m off to a job I love.
- it’s 34 days until I’ll be in a helicopter touching down on a tropical island. 🏝
- I’m having a great hair day, and feel goooood as hell. 🎧🎶

Well, everything is going right in my life. We are all happy and healthy, have no concerns about food or shelter, what more could I ask for? My friend's son/son's friend has made an amazing physical recovery, was just released from the hospital, and is doing better than can be expected. It is beginning to feel like the holiday season. Thanksgiving is coming up soon, my son turns 7 the day after. He is healthy, happy, smart, sweet, so yeah, I have a lot to be thankful for.
 
Everyone has made my day with these happy thoughts. :heart:

And thank you Dribble. I will say that sweet comment and a much needed 3am conversation are mine today. :)

A quiet Sunday morning with the fam and my dogs.
Construction/renovation happening in my basement to give me a huge laundry room and another bathroom.
Dinner in the crockpot filling my house with delicious aromas.
A cheesecake in the fridge for after dinner.

I'll answer the previous question later.


Sounds like I'm late to the thankfulness party, but mostly that's because I spent most of the day doing a woodworking project (new work bench). Working wood makes me happy. In this case, that is not a euphemism.

And, 240 days to retirement. :D:D:D
