1. Edamame
2. Seeing Robert, aka HR, in unexpected places, in this case the raised hatch window of our little car.
See him?
3. The blessing of having cold—and hot!—running water. Everybody doesn’t.
4. Yellow … and seeing it all around.
5. Back to having in-person sessions with Therapist “Rubi.” Here’s my little ladder back chair and my we-need-to-talk-about-these-things! journal in his reception area.
Have a happy and therapeutically healthy weekend!
1. Traveling to Atlanta for St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Savannah’s Big Parade/Craziness was back this year, so we decided to abandon our parade route apartment and get outta Dodge.
2. Marveling at the gorgeous Atlanta Botanical Garden glory.
I felt bad for this sad and lonely little red tulip. I told her not to be embarrassed because she was different from the daffodils, to get right back up and stand proud. I hope she listened.
3. Robert’s obsession with close ups of him and his camera.
4. Last night’s Atlanta Symphony Orchestra/Chorus presentation of Mozart’s Requiem and Strauss’ Tod and Verklarung (Death and Transfiguration). The music was absolutely lush and lovely.
It was exciting to see and hear ASO’s new conductor/music director Nathalie Stutzmann. She was pretty amazing, “a consummate rock star on the podium,” according to ArtsATL. It is also cool that she is the only woman to head a top-25 American orchestra.
And it was especially moving when, after intermission, the orchestra and chorus performed The State Anthem of Ukraine—and dedicated Requiem to the war torn nation.
5. The ability to make choices, sometimes wise, sometimes unwise.
Happy Last Day of Winter & First Day of Spring Weekend Ahead!
1. Our loving dishes.
2. Camellia joy in Savannah.
3. Creepy plant beauty.
4. Birds singing by my study window in the morning.
5. …
Have a Good Weekend.
1. HR (Husband Robert) making “Martha Stewart’s Grand Marnier French Toast.” Oh my goodness!
2. Robert FINALLY getting off his post-Covid/pneumonia supplemental oxygen yesterday, a month after it started! He feels free without all that tubing draping around him.
“Our bodies know how to be well and are always trying to move toward wellness.”
3. Sitting in Greene Square, a couple blocks from my house here in Savannah, with beautiful red azaleas and a tiny little red house in the background.
4. The luck/great fortune to just be alive!
5. Fresh Blueberries!
Have a berry good weekend ahead!
1. Walking over to Sorry Charlie’s here in Savannah for a dozen oysters.
2. Speaking of walking, walking through Savannah’s February blooming.
3. Still speaking of walking, Robert, recovering from Covid-related pneumonia, now able to join me for short walks (with his portable oxygen).
And intently taking a picture of this “it-may-be-nearly-spring-but-I’m-not” brown October-looking leaf.
4. Pausing to be thankful for always having enough food to eat. Everybody doesn’t.
5. Opening night of Cinderella last night at Savannah Country Day School— with Grandson Daniel playing the Prince.
Have a magical weekend!
1. This cool little knitting shop a couple of blocks down from us. I LOVE the name.
2. Husband Robert (HR) behind irises, recovering from pneumonia. With a good appetite.
3. The incredible ability to see! To have vision. Look around!
4. Red Hots, or as I call them, Essential Vitamins for a Healthy Body and Mind.
5. The moon.
Have a beautifully visionary weekend ahead!
1. The ability to breathe. Deeply and fully. Take a deep inhale and enjoy the gift. (But don’t forget to exhale.)
2. My Morning Wall. Okay, that needs explanation. I usually get up before Robert each morning. This is what greets me above our breakfast table. I sit on the couch and stare up at it. It brings me joy.
3. My love of Georgia State Parks.
4. My husband.
5. My connection with you blog folks.
Blessings to you all!
What is a Happy Bringer for you today?
1. Watching and being SO encouraged, as well as entertained, by Mirabel and her crazy family in Disney’s Encanto.
By the way, therapists love this movie! (I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing for the movie.)
2. The incredible gift of eyesight. Even with my Coke-bottle eyeglasses. (Does anyone else even know what that means anymore?)
3. Robert’s yummy pizza.
For some reason he wanted a picture taken of him sprinkling the mozzarella. (Sometimes you just go along with it.)
But if you ask me, his Apple Watch is trying to steal the show.
4. The truth of one of my favorite and most encouraging affirmations: “My body knows how to be well and is always trying to move toward wellness.”
5. Grandson Gabriel playing in his first rec dept basketball game. (He’s also on a team at his school.)
Healthy Weekend to You and Yours!
Hope You Have a Ball!
1. A birthday greeting/art work from a buddy In Arizona.
2. Pretending that I have a clue about what to do with my new hand-me-down Apple Watch. I remember when a watch just told you the time.
3. The joy of simply waking up in the morning.
4. Chocolate on my fork.
5. Cornbread.
Especially when it’s made in my grandmother’s cast-iron skillet.
Weekend Joy to you all!
