Five Friday Happy Bringers 7/12/25
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Beautiful reflections (during a recent walk in daughter Amy’s neighborhood).
2. Rest. Sometimes you simply have to lie down.
Amy’s dog Coastal (named for their medical company, Coastal Care Partners) after Robert and I took her for a long walk in the South Georgia heat.
3. Speaking of South Georgia heat, how HAPPY I am for the blessing of air conditioning in Savannah!
4. Sitting near these Lively Ladies the other morning at a new coffee shop we were trying out near us, Foxtail Coffee Company.
They asked HR to take their pic.
We discovered that they are a group of ladies called “Savannah Newcomers,” which has been around for nearly 70 years! Most of the members are no longer newcomers, but they liked the group so much they just keep coming.
I asked if Robert and I could become members. They dodged the question in demure Southern Belle fashion and told us how happy they were to have met us. (I think that meant, “No.)
5. Walking to our car in the Publix parking lot yesterday …
… And seeing this:
For some reason, the view gave me pause and reminded me that life continues even in the starkest of environments.
May your life be filled with a bit of LIFE this weekend (in whatever way you define LIFE).

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Local summertime green beans.
2. The evolutionary A B C’s of our Fourth of July afternoon nap yesterday.
A.
B.
C.
3. The amazing ability to step out of bed, stretch and start a brand new day! (Everyone is not able to do that incredible feat.)
4. Pink
5. Being able to watch Savannah’s fireworks through our living room window.
Make your weekend have a few colorful and firework-y crackles, whistles, bangs and sizzles.
Shhh … Silent Sunday. 4/13/25

“Respite”
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 3/24/25
Well, I’m both moaning AND marveling this Monday morn.
I’m dealing with some frustratingly “I’m-getting-older!” arthritis issues, especially in my creaky knees.
My microwaveable heating pad is an indispensable MARVEL for temporary relief.
Benny is getting older as well—going on 16 now.
He needs the heating pad too.
His True Valentine
I might have gotten the Cool Card …
… but I know who HR’s True Valentine is …
Shhh … Silent Sunday. 1/5/25
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.
4. Moments in life when you feel JOY.
5. And finally, I’m happily thankful for HR.
May you have a BIG weekend ahead!
