Five Friday Happy Bringers 4/3/26

Posted on by Neal Saye

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Palms on Palm Sunday.

2. Savannah‘s azaleas. As usual, they are glorious this spring.

3. I’m grateful for a back … that can hurt.

Two weeks ago today, I had my fourth lower back procedure in the last seven months. This time an RFA—radiofrequecy ablation (whew), “a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat from radio waves to temporarily deactivate nerves sending chronic pain signals to the brain, commonly treating spine and joint pain.” (Thanks, AI.)

Frustratingly enough, I am feeling no relief. The typical time period before feeling if the procedure was effective is 5-7 days. This is day 14. 🙁

But you know what? What I do feel is Gratitude that I have a back that has the ability to hurt.

So there, Universe!

4. Finding yet another Free Little Library! This time across the street from Savannah’s beautiful Daffin Park.

Do you have these little treasures near where you are?

What a Joy of Surprise.

5. My little Easter/Spring displays in our apartment.

May you have a few Displays of Joy in your life this Easter Weekend!

T-Shirt Tuesday: “Passport”

Posted on by Neal Saye

I walked in the kitchen and saw Robert, reminding me that I should post a T-shirt Tuesday!

For several years now, we have participated in Georgia’s Farm Passport program:

“The Farm Passport features over 100 farms included in Georgia Farm Bureau’s Certified Farm Markets program, which was created to help people discover where their food comes from, meet the farm families who grew the food, and create lasting memories as they travel the state.” Farm Bureau, GA

With each visit to a farm, we get our “passport” stamped to go toward prizes, including the T-shirt.

HR and Passport T-shirts from previous years.

Tuesday Truth: 3/31/26 “But?

******************

“But did you die?”

******************

On a bumper sticker Robert and I saw the other day as we were driving along Henry Street here in Savannah.

Oh my goodness, did that question and its underlying truth ever hit home!

I often find myself complaining about the LEAST little thing: “If only the temperature could be about five degrees cooler today!”

Or “I just HATE getting a stomach ache!”

But …

My Saturday Evening Post: 3/28/26 “Please, No Kings!”

Posted on by Neal Saye

Robert and “This is what democracy looks like!” chant 

Today Robert and I joined thousands of other Savannah area patriots by participating in our third No Kings Day protest here in our hometown.

Please allow this sampling of creatively truthful protest signs and banners be the text for this post.

We felt honored to be a part of this peaceful, nonviolent and exuberantly hopeful crowd of patriots who so love our United States of America.

We kept running into folks we know. Here’s good buddy Critter. Isn’t that the coolest name?

And that’s my Saturday Evening Post.
