Five Friday Happy Bringers 7/12/25

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Beautiful reflections (during a recent walk in daughter Amy’s neighborhood).

2. Rest. Sometimes you simply have to lie down.

Amy’s dog Coastal (named for their medical company, Coastal Care Partners) after Robert and I took her for a long walk in the South Georgia heat.

3. Speaking of South Georgia heat, how HAPPY I am for the blessing of air conditioning in Savannah!

4. Sitting near these Lively Ladies the other morning at a new coffee shop we were trying out near us, Foxtail Coffee Company.

They asked HR to take their pic.

We discovered that they are a group of ladies called “Savannah Newcomers,” which has been around for nearly 70 years! Most of the members are no longer newcomers, but they liked the group so much they just keep coming.

I asked if Robert and I could become members. They dodged the question in demure Southern Belle fashion and told us how happy they were to have met us. (I think that meant, “No.)

5. Walking to our car in the Publix parking lot yesterday …

… And seeing this:

For some reason, the view gave me pause and reminded me that life continues even in the starkest of environments.

May your life be filled with a bit of LIFE this weekend (in whatever way you define LIFE).
