    Hello ladies.
    I'm sad today because my Aunt died. And I'm frustrated because my Dad announced he is going to the funeral but doesn't realize he can't go alone. I texted my sister who might have to come out and take care of mom so I can take dad to the funeral. We are waiting to hear when the funeral will be. Meanwhile my mom is claiming she can stay with her sister, but that leaves Teddy alone. Her sister has enough on her hands anyway. I'm hoping my sister can fly out from Tennessee. I guess it's normal for things to be jumbled at this point, but I'm rattled.

    Sorry you're having to deal with this. It can be complicated.

    Annie: Hugs and condolences. 💕💖💕

    Rebecca: Congrats to your son.

    Gosh! You are all so busy. There is seldom enough time to do all that we would like. I try to go with the flow.

    I’m planning to try a rhubarb scone recipe this morning. DH loves his rhubarb and there is loads in the garden. I’ll let you know how they turn out later..

    This weekend it’s ‘Sea Bangor Marine Festival’. We went down to the marina, and the seafront was heaving with people. Luckily we have free parking at the marina as our boat is there, so we had a quick tootle around, then had coffee on the boat.

    We are having an extended period of very fine weather at the minute so will be in the garden most of today. Planning to Skype with family after lunch.

    🤗 🤗 🤗 and 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

    ☘️ Terri

    1. Decide to look for what’s good every day this month.

    I have been enjoying coding during the first 2 days of the month. That's been really good.
    Also the 25 flights of stairs a day.

    2. Say positive things in your conversations with others.

    Chatted with a work friend about our gardens first thing this morning.
    Smiled and thanked people as usual.

    BTW - thanking the bus driver at the end of a trip is a thing here. :)

    3. Re-frame a worry and try to find a helpful way to think about it.

    Where do I even start? A single worry?

    There are so many worries rumbling away in the background but I try not to think about them or dwell on them.

    I try to focus on the good days or even good moments.

    4. Take a photo of something that brings you joy and share it.
