Positively Monday

Every week has some good and bad things that happen. I had gotten to a point where I was carping about every single unpleasant thing in life and ignoring the many good things I was offered. For about a year I had been focusing on what brings me joy but had a gloom and doom relapse.  As a reminder to myself that I am blessed beyond all measure I decided to keep a daily log of the best thing each day.  So the week began__

Monday
I had the pleasure of volunteering at Independence Place of Alabama.  I get a huge amount of joy just being there, but now they are opened on Monday and I got to experience said joy with an entirely new to me group of very special adults.  Who knew making St Patrick's Day photo booth props could create so many laughs (and pictures)!

Tuesday
I had a glorious day at home and went no where. It was bliss!

Wednesday
Managed to get my shopping done (all 10 bucks worth) and also found a few things Mom needed. (On a down note, I did accidentally manage to tee her off.  Fortunately it was short lived)

Thursday
I had another trip back to Independence Place and taught them how to make a no sew bag from old tee shirts.  I had called Son3 and asked if I could have any of his tee shirts that were still in his drawer at the house. (He had tons) After weeding the beer and bar ones out there were only 10, but it was plenty since several of them had trouble tying knots and decided they had rather paint instead.

Friday
Saw my first of the Oscar nominated films for the past Awards show. Yes, I know I am behind the eight ball.  Going to a theater for a movie is just not in my wheelhouse.  Now that many are on DVD I will stand a better chance of seeing them.

Saturday
Decided not to go to the lake place and stayed home. (TheHub had to go to a memorial service for a coworker and it would not be over before 3 plus it was very cool and rainy so why even bother.)
Instead I baked a little.  Now TheHub has something sweet to eat and might be able to stay out of Publix. (or not)

Sunday

Mom's birthday, so we celebrated with a take out lunch at her house. We made sure we got fried shrimp for Mom since it is her favorite guilty pleasure and had a small party of Mom, My Beloved Sister and BIL, Son2, TheHub and me.  Pip sent (Ok it was really Son1 who sent it, but it was from Pip) a Happy Birthday video which thrilled Mom beyond belief.  We gave her crappy presents but she has everything in this world and wanted nothing and Pringles and Turtles might not be too crappy since she loves them. At the end of the meal she hustled us out of the door__we stayed beyond her nap time!






Hope your week is memorable and filled with daily joy!
