Five Friday Happy Bringers 3/28/25
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Walking to one of my favorite reading spots a couple of blocks from us here in Historic District Savannah on the bluff overlooking the Savannah River.
2. Being able to walk!
3. Friendly farm animals yesterday at Hunter Cattle Company in Brooklet GA, where we bought beautiful grass-fed ribeye steak.
4. More of Savannah’s Spring Beauty.
5. Looking for the Tree Spirits at various spots around Saint Simon’s Island (Georgia).
(I’m working on a post about the dozen or so “spirits” we found recently.)
May you spring into a Happy and Healthy Weekend ahead.
One-Word Wednesday 3/26/25
“Delicious!”
Does Anybody Else?
Does anybody else take photos while you’re waiting in the exam room when you go to see the doctor?
No? Really? Why not?
Is this against HIPPA rules or something?
Well, this morning brought my yearly appointment at my ophthalmologist. Since it’s a new year, I’ve been making my rounds to various specialists. Haven’t you?
For some reason (reminder: talk to therapist about this), while I am waiting for the doctor—any doctor— to make her/his appearance, I get all giddy nervous and therefore anxiously try to figure out how to pass the time before she/he enters and aggressively takes my blood pressure or sticks a needle in me.
The answer? Intra-medical-office photography!
And I can’t quite figure out how to interpret this writing on yonder wall …
Huh?
“E.T. Phone home” maybe?
I’ll probably be getting a new eyeglass prescription.
“The Artful Dodger“ #26
A blog category about finding “art” in unexpected places and situations.
So the other day Robert and I were over at the Savannah Botanical Gardens, minding our own business, and enjoying some of their early Spring Beauty …
… when I decided to meander down to their little peaceful pond …
… when out of the blue, I saw her, hiding in the not-quite-yet-blooming irises …
… a cute brown puppy, in her own world, meditatively stretching back, yoga-ish, toward the quiet fountain beyond.
She paid my approach scant attention, a single silent shake of her head, so not wanting to impose further on her pose, I slipped past the pines, quietly bidding my adieu.
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.
Shhh … Silent Sunday. 3/23/25
Five Friday Happy Bringers 3/21/25
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. The delicious simplicity of a good hot dog.
2. Completing 1800 meditation sittings with my Happier app.
SURELY I should be a little more enlightened by now?!
3. The ability to … Stretch. I’m having some arthritis issues, and simple stretching often helps with the pain.
4. My old front door. It has welcomed us home many a time.
5. Benny needing his rest this morn (on my I’m-still-wearing-them Christmas jammies).
May you have a Merry Weekend
First Day of Spring in Savannah
I don’t know what it’s like in your stretch of the woods on this First Day of Spring 2025, but Savannah is …
Bursting into Bloom.
And a Galleria of Azaleas we just saw on our First-Day-of-Spring Morning Walk …
Red Tip Photinias dazzling in the morning sunshine …
And a Miscellany of Marvelous, also on our Morning Walk …
Our sweet little Green Japanese Maple coming back to life …
