Five Friday Happy Bringers 12/6/24

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Taking a photo of a glorious ginkgo biloba tree.

2. HR in a somewhat … regal moment.

Gainesville GA Botanical Garden

3. Always having enough food to eat.

4. Grandson Daniel on a weekend trip to New York, accompanying his Catholic girlfriend Amelie to mass at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, and out of the blue being asked to help take up the offering!

Here’s what his mother texted me:

5. A quiet moment with Benny.

May you have some quiet moments of joy this weekend.

Five Friday Happy Bringers 11/29/24

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. This old tree we saw near us on a Thanksgiving morning walk in Savannah’s Colonial Park Cemetery.

Do you see what I see on his trunk?

In the lower half, there’s a Big Bunny with gigantic upward ears!

And if you forget the bunny and look again at the entire trunk, there’s a Brown Monster with a three-pronged crown, green tongue and menacingly raised arms! Watch out!

2. On the other hand, here’s a quartet of happily handsome fellows: son-in-law Scott and three grandsons Jack, Gabriel and Daniel searching for the perfect Christmas tree.

3. A bountiful Thanksgiving Feast yesterday.

Robert, Me, Son-in-law Scott and Daughter Amy who hosted
Oh, and Coastal, ready to play.

4. Moments in life when you feel JOY.

5. And finally, I’m happily thankful for HR.

Okay, that’s a BIG image.

May you have a BIG weekend ahead!

A Few Things for which I Give Thanks:

1. My breath. In. Out. In. Out.

2. This trash I saw yesterday morning in our alley.

Couldn’t that be in an art gallery? The browns, grays, beige, white.

Or is my old age catching up with me?

3. Yummy lunch at Cracker Barrel with Robert’s daughter and son.

4. Grandson Gabriel starting AS A FRESHMAN on his high school VARSITY basketball team.

They won their first game of the season yesterday.

5. Always, ALWAYS, having enough food to eat. (Everybody doesn’t.)

6. Shoes.

7. Living so close to the ocean.

Tybee Island (Savannah Beach), twenty minutes from us.

8. The privilege of voting (even when it doesn’t go our way).

9. The ability to WALK. What a blessing!

Granddaughter Isabelle and Ex-wife Donna. Walking.

10. Indoor plants.

Our bamboo baby in a corner of our living room.

11. All of you fellow bloggers.

Tell me, what are you thankful for on this beautiful day?
