Five Friday Happy Bringers 9/12/25

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Glorious early morning sunlight on grass.

Greene Square near me.

2. Beginning to see a few (emphasis on “few”) early indications of Approaching Autumn here in Savannah.

3. The simply amazing Ability to Walk! What a blessing. The next time you walk today (if you can), shout (or think loudly), “Look at me! I am WALKING!”

4. The beautiful opposite of Happy Bringer #1 above …

… evening sunset.

5. Watermelon with a mouth.

Happy Weekend!

You Know You’re Getting Older …

… when your daughter asks you to pose AS A SENIOR CITIZEN for some “professional photos” for new advertising for the Savannah medical company she founded and runs, Coastal Care Partners.

Me posing with one of Amy’s doctors, orthopedist Dr. Brandon, pretending to be happy about my (real) arthritic knee pain.

And look (!), here I am with a very cool home caregiver, again smiling, although I’m apparently old and bedridden.

It took all my acting chops to pull off such a difficult and challenging role.

Here’a a link to Amy’s very cool business website:

Five Friday Happy Bringers 8/29/25

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Fresh South Georgia Bi-color Corn.

Or as I call it, Bisexual Corn.

2. My new, neat little sitting and reading area in our bedroom. Robert put up the shelves next to my chair.

Now he can watch his superhero movies and shows in the living room, and I can read, quietly, in the bedroom.

It probably doesn’t look like much to you, but these couple of square feet are my own little nest to settle, relax, breathe and read.

3. The incredible ability to make plans. To prepare. To dream. To think ahead.

4. Incredible truth, which I often don’t pause to remember.

We were walking through Hobby lobby the other day, when Robert said, “Neal pick up these, hold them. Let me take a few pictures of your truth.”

5. A very inappropriate, but humorous and truthful candle I saw on my older daughter Amy’s bedside table recently.

May you enjoy some inappropriate humor this weekend!
