My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. HR and me, having a neat little before-it-gets-cold picnic at nearby Forsyth Park here in Savannah.
2. And me becoming the official spokesperson for Lays.
3. Celebrating Day of the Dead at our church and at home.
4. Clean running water day after day after day.
5. Grandson Daniel and his actor bundies dressing up for Halloween as Taylor Swift’s Exes.
May you dress up as a Joyful You this weekend.
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. HR and I live in Savannah’s Historic District just off Washington Square (Savannah has 22), a few blocks from the mighty river.
This past Saturday, our square and ward held our 7th Annual Bathrobe Brunch. In memory of a local Washington Square resident who would wear his bathrobe out in the square, sit at a particular bench and work on his day’s business pursuits.
We wear our PJ’s and bathrobes, bring brunch treats and socialize up a storm.
Robert and I (well, I) chose a mismatched Halloween theme this year.
SUCH SAVANNAH FUN!
2. And later the same day, enjoying the Savannah Pride Festival.
3. Shoes! Aren’t they wonderful?! You don’t have to go barefooted. Do you own any?
4. Grandson Daniel winning the Best Actor award at last weekend’s South Georgia regional one-act play competition for his role as Peter in “Peter and the Star Catcher.”
(Not that I’m a proud grandad or anything.)
5. This very cool autumnal season.
Happy Last Weekend in October!
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Fall with HR.
2. My eyeglasses. WHAT would I do without them?!

May you breathe easily this weekend.

4. Grandson Daniel “being all shy” singing The National Anthem at the yearly kickoff celebration of the United Way of the Coastal Empire at the Savannah Convention Center.
Practicing the day before …
The event …
You can hear him here …
I asked his mom, Amy, if Daniel gets nervous at large events such as this.
“He’s not the slightest bit nervous. But I am a wreck until it’s over.”
5. Living in a world with so many wonderful books to read. Here is the current novel HR and I are reading together. Robert does most of the driving, so I read aloud. This is our 178th book together.
(May the book banners be banned.)
And may your weekend ahead be a personal anthem of joy and freedom.

1. HR’s homemade version of the Egg McMuffin. Really good!
(Should I make him apply for a job at McDonald’s?)
2. Surviving Idalia here in my Savannah.
But nothing too bad where we are near the river. Thanksgiving!
3. This article about trees in Atlanta. PLEASE READ IT. It’s so much more than just about trees.
Here’s the link:
4. My (and your) ability to make decisions. To weigh pros and cons.
5. The Joy of Friday. Maybe it’s because I am a retired educator, but every Friday morning brings me a bit of unfiltered joy, the beginning of the weekend!
May this Friday introduce a joyous weekend ahead for you.
