Five Friday Happy Bringers 8/30/24

Posted on by Neal Saye

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Daughter Amy and son-in-law Scott hamming it up by the river near their house.

2. HR suggesting we drive over to nearby Tybee Island for an evening walk on the beach.

And look! Another riveting film in my long-running canon of riveting films, this one starring the Atlantic Ocean, the Tybee Pier and HR. 

3. The ability to WALK. What a blessing! I encourage you, wherever you are and if possible, to stand up and walk around a bit. What a miracle!

4. Sunlight on grass.

Washington Square, a one-minute walk from our apartment 

5. My fellow.

May you have an Ocean of Weekend Fun ahead.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

  1. Robert and I had a lovely hour perusing a new exhibit, “A Measure of Time,” at our local Savannah Jepson Center for the Arts.

Gloriously colorful, geometric shapes everywhere!

HR trying (unsuccessfully) to blend in.

2. The ongoing belief that our bodies know how to be well and are always trying to move toward wellness.

3. Colorful carrots!

I made a delicious new dish, Maple Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Fennel Seeds, with some of them.

4. Our “Travel Buddies.” Have I told you about them? Three silly little stuffed animals HR and I have given each other over the years. But they travel with us EVERYWHERE we go.

I’ll do a blog post about some of their adventures soon.

5. Friday!

Joyful weekend ahead for you!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Swimming grandchildren.

2. Fresh summer field peas! Oh my GOODness.

3. The prickly beauty of Red Roses.

4. Air conditioning. (That really should be Number One. )

5. “My” Square, Washington Square, near us— which is a sort of ward/neighborhood outdoor living room. (Savannah‘s historic district has 22 beautiful squares.)

See HR? Photo snapping, as usual.

May you have a picture perfect weekend ahead!

(Or at least a little rest.)

You know you’re getting old when you get invited to this …

(Ex-wife Donna and I graduated from incredibly beautiful Berry College in Rome, Georgia way back in 1974.)

At the same time, you’re out in your also-incredibly beautiful Savannah Square reading this …

Ho hum. Life goes on.

With beauty all around.

2. My new cow.

3. Air conditioning! (And it makes me sad and a bit privileged to realize that everyone does not have this luxury. Maybe a lot privileged.)

4. Beautiful views from our hotel room last weekend.

5. Basil lemonade!
