I'd love to echo that big thank you to twyla for starting this thread. Congratulations to you, rheddmobile, for healing well and getting back to the running trails. The going-outside-every-morning idea was inspiring to me, too, as it was for MadisonMolly. And, like Orphia, I've enjoyed relaxing by reading this thread.…

Yesterday, I went on a bike ride with my fiancé to a fun part of town, where we sat outside on a picnic bench and watched the sun go down. Although I'm not a big drinker, I have trouble resisting the urge to drink socially, and since I drank a salty dog with a friend at lunchtime, it took some willpower to order something…

Thanks for saying so! Your love of herons (I'm not sure what my favorite bird is yet) has inspired me to look them up, to see whether or not they're endangered.

We saw a great blue heron, Canadian geese, and many duck families,…

I never knew that about birds and squirrels! And, I also…

I haven't had a chance to thank everyone individually, but please know your ideas are really sticking with me (I'm grateful to all of…

Day 2 for me: I can't think of anything. I may have to go back and re-read this thread and update later. Coming home from work, I sometimes get that "freedom" feeling, like I can do anything at all now, anything from selling all of my belongings and flying to a remote island or playing a video game or lurking on MFP or…

Long-time lurker here. (I've learned so much from this discussion board--and have had many of my former misconceptions tested. Thanks.) Anyway, I've enjoyed reading this thread and would love to participate. Day 1 for me: Because I made crepes last night, I decided to repeat the recipe this afternoon, on my day off no…
