My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts

1. Finding this little tree-looking leaf perched comfortably on the passenger mirror of our car (why did she decide to land there?) as we headed out to go who-knows-where the other morning. I was mesmerized for four or five seconds. (It doesn’t take a whole lot to mesmerize me.)

Robert: “Neal, get in! What are you staring at?!”

2. Young love.

Grandson Daniel and girlfriend Mandy on “National Boyfriend Day.”

Seriously, there’s such a day?! What about “National Arthritis in My Wrists Is Absolutely Killing Me Day”?

3. The ability to drive a car. And to have a car to drive! Everybody certainly does not have that blessing.

4. Walking along the Jacksonville Beach FL boardwalk and coming upon the iconic Art Deco Lifeguard Station.

Look closely and you can see a lone female lifeguard up in the tower.

5. A few sights of Autumn here in historic district Savannah.

May you Fall into a Joyful Weekend ahead.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts

1. My rainbow!

We are back for a couple of weeks in Ponte Vedra Beach. Each afternoon follows a pre-determined set of events. Around three or four, dark clouds make their way above the surf directly in front our balcony. Then a pretty rainbow (sometimes two!) appear in front of us.

Thank you, Universe, for your spectacular show! And for my Mr. Rainbow.

2. One of the bathrooms in the condo where we are staying/freeloading …

I love the driftwoody mirror.

3. Sunshine!

4. Little Free Libraries. Even at the beach!

5. Sea shells.

May beauty surround you this weekend.

“Farmers”

This week Robert and I are getting away from downtown Savannah for a bit and staying at our buddy Gordon’s old country farmhouse in Effingham County GA.

When I texted my family to let them know we would be gone for a few days, daughter Amy almost immediately sent back this photo:

I asked her how on earth she did that.

“Put the photo y’all sent from Easter into Chat and said make them into farmers. 😂”

Technology!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Making it through this morning’s part two (of a three-part procedure) to—hopefully/fingers crossed—help my chronic lower back pain.

The fun description: “CPT 64493 – Left – Facet Injection, Lumbar/Sacral, a shot of pain numbing substance in one level of the lower back using imaging guidance or detailed pictures to diagnose or treat lower back pain.”

I’m such a baby that even with local anesthesia, I’m sort of out of it for much of the day. But I’m back to the land of the living now, working on this post.

2. Several cool outdoorsy photos Robert took a little while ago, probably to get away from me and my “recovery.”

Is it Spring yet?

3. Our bodies, which I continue to believe/hope know how to be well and are always trying to move toward wellness.

4. Pausing to appreciate the view from above.

5. Proud of Daughter Amy being named by the Savannah area’s United Way as one of the Women Who Rule panelists.

And this sweet text I got from great buddy Jamie Marie during the event …

May you have a weekend of things that bring you healthy pride.
