One good thing

[uni]

Oh cat sitting! I love cats. I hope you have fun sandy11!

My good thing for today is that I found out a friend of mine has a new little grandson! Maybe I'll get to meet him this summer

Thanks uni!! Just got some new cat treats today and am very excited to feed him (today's one good thing!).

And how exciting, hope you can all plan something fun together this summer

I've had a whole run of good things this past week, mostly involving one individual -- an adorable little fella I call my nephew, who I got to go and visit

Well, because today my mood has been sort of bummed-out (unpleasant family interactions), I decided to come on here and post something good about the last 24 hours. Mainly, the weather is nice. And a friend of mine gave me a neat old magazine to read. So that's two good things

Hi uni, hope you have been feeling better these days... family can sure be tricky to deal with sometimes and I can imagine how such interactions can lead to some mixed feelings. Hope things get resolved.. but of course always a good idea to set boundaries for your own wellbeing when it comes to these types of situations.

On another note, very cool to hear about this new old magazine you now acquired. Reminds me of this one vintage comic book I saw at a book exchange last summer...

A good thing today is that I am now the proud owner of a houseplant. A friend of mine was moving for the summer and I had taken the liberty of adopting her fern, which surprisingly was almost three-quarters of my height. Had quite the time finding a place for it but it was worth it

sandy11 your new fern sounds beautiful! And large

I have been continuing to feel pretty okay lately. However, there have been some unpleasant old messages triggered by family conversations. I'm bothered that they bother me, if that makes sense. How does one "grow a thicker skin"? I'm not too good at it with some people.

Anyway, it helps that the snow and ice are gone and I can do more walking. Although 2 cm of the white stuff is predicted tonight it won't last. I remember one year we got a surprise heavy duty snowfall on the the May long weekend. Guess we'll see how the rest of May goes!

Today's good thing is that I got rid of two boxes of stuff to a local fundraiser garage sale. It felt good!
