I am glad for every nice day, also. We had a quiet two days, working on the yard and me putting up planters with petunias in them. My seedlings are growing quickly now.

Weezie follows us around while we worked. She likes to have us outside with her. My goldfinches are singing away and I saw a siskin (a northern wild finch) even at my fluff dispenser.

It is nice to see this thread here today.

Did one of my favorite things this afternoon. Met my son, daughter-in-law and grandson for and early dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. My husband and I can vouch CPK serves delicious Apple Martini's.

After we were all through with our meals, I decided to order a slice of their Red Velvet cake with tiers of Cream Cheese frosting and 5 forks. We needed to clear the taste of regular food with a little sweets. Yummy!!!!!

Thanks to everyone for sharing. It's great to read about all the different ways you can have a "great day". Hopefully the great days will continue to be many, and the down days few........

Every night I give thanks for each day I have. I treasure every good day and have learned to understand how the bad days help me to appreciate those good ones even more. After all, we would never know and understand what a 'good' day is, unless we had a bad day to compare them to.

It doesn't really matter what I do...I can have a good day even if I'm cleaning house or other work. It's all in how I feel and appreciating what I have around me (friends, family, my lovely home, and of course my animals).

I had a wonderful day yesterday playing cards with friends, and then last night I drove into Baltimore to meet relatives I've never met.

Last year in my family history work, I discovered I had a 3rd cousin in Baltimore. He's related to me on the German side of my family, and those relatives are few and far between. Most are in Canada, Germany or Hungary I emailed him and he emailed back right away thrilled to hear from me. It was the first time either of us had made contact with cousins from this family line.

We met the next week at local winery, and have seen each other five times since. It's like we've known each other all our lives. Unfortunately he and his wife are moving back to Ohio next month, but this weekend all his grown kids came in with all their kids, and I got to meet the whole family. In one day, I met seven new relatives.

[QUOTE=pinkynose;1169212]I escaped the heat today by going to the movies with my oldest and dearest friend. We saw the new Meryl Streep movie, Ricki and the Flash. It was tremendously uplifting and I cried happy tears at the end.
Sorry no stories. I hope you'll accept a wonderful day.
