Today’s gratitude: Last night, Joe accidentally left the gate open while fleeing a swarm of termites. This morning Tumble barked in response to another dog barking out in the woods. It was Mooch! I called “Moochie poochie, find me, find me!!!” and clapped my hands. He came running out of the woods with a big happy smile on…

Today’s gratitude: the camaraderie at casserole-a-thons and line dancing. Day 3 of declutter challenge was the fridge. Didn’t think there was anything in there to purge but decided to follow the program anyway. Much to my surprise I found expired rennet, mustard and one salad dressing, also purged two baggies of soy sauce,…

Today’s gratitude: the energy to go back to Better Bones and Balance class. Actually got a little endorphin boost afterwards, whod'v'e thunkit? ;} Kylia, Michele, Debbie :love: the kitten pics. Heather and Tracey, thanks for the clutterbug encouragement. Today’s five things were these old landline connectors and cords,…

Tracey so glad you like the new job! They are lucky to have you. And that table, WOW! Later, lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD Move more than yesterday, fuel better than yesterday, live NOW. Open heart and mind before mouth. 2024: Strengthen: body, mind, heart-connections.

Today’s gratitude: Barbie and all the wonderful wise women on this thread. August summary will be in Lanette’s update tomorrow. Belated welcome @ lshipley1 Lynnn from Kansas, I miss the newsfeed too, and the friends I kept in touch with there. Belated welcome @SweetPeasMom55 Sue from Buffalo and welcome @frenchfancy2014!…

Greetings lovelies. Cold got me down, have been skimming but not taking notes. Belated welcome @ColleenWestico! Will catch up later, maybe, but wanted to share this calculator. I’m 74 and it says I could live to be 90, it was a little lift to my spirits. https://media.nmfn.com/tnetwork/lifespan/index.html#0 I’m with…

Today’s gratitude: warm, dry, safe place to sleep while I get over this cold. Allie thought of you and your Alfie this afternoon when I turned on the Westminster Kennel Club broadcast. Moochie barked and pounced on the TV, knocking over Joe’s clock. He got Shadow and Tumble barking too. I don’t remember them ever paying…

Gratitudes: Today’s: Joe got, and made for me, Theraflu with extra honey. Tuesday’s: Joe playing ball with Shadow … and Moochie! Monday’s: the backup alert that kept me from clipping the truck parked next to me ;} Last night felt snuffly so did not go line dancing. This morning full blown cold, sneezing, scratchy throat,…

Was it Barbie who introduced me to James Clear? Thank you! From this week’s message {about smart people finding reasons not to do X) “…But there will always be reasons to not do something, and this is particularly true of anything worth doing. We value those moments in which we overcame challenge, not those in which we…

Tracey :love: the “cyan” VW bug for Michaela. Hip, hip hooray for the offer letter email. Hope it meets your needs, and if not you can negotiate :naughty: Terri love what you said about our sisterhood here, able to share the ups and downs of life. Heather truly happy for all your firsts. Hope, as others have said, you…

I’m squandering too much time on mindless iPhone games. Time to set it down, maybe even uninstall a few, in favor of getting up and doing even 5 minutes of PT, or grooming dogs. ;} MFP not letting me login from laptop yesterday morning, recaptcha verification failing. Debbie what do you and your mom do with 3x100’ rows of…

Today’s gratitude: T found someone else to go to Britt with her. Would have been fun but can’t afford it this year, with teeth, well and potential car repairs. Barbie ((gentle hugs held extra long)) and healing energy Jake’s way. Is there someone who can dog sit so you can visit Jake? Belated “Welcome Back” @PackerFaninGB…

gratitudes: This morning: fog, keeping the plants alive, sustaining the creek, refreshing our spirits. Yesterday: The stage at the Del Norte county fair was shaky and there were no railings or other protections to keep folk from falling off the edge. No one did, but one gal came close after spinning around. I was too…

Thank you Barbie! What you said about the support and encouragement and example of the women on this thread. Likewise grateful for your support, encouragement and example. Today’s gratitude: Joe is open to adding Moose to our little pack, depending of course on Tumble and Shadow’s acceptance. Moose (Joe dislikes that name)…

Today’s gratitude: Insurance nurse was gentle with both BP and blood draw. BP was surprisingly good. Attagal Allie!!! Barbie “…I didn't grab his phone out of his hand and he didn't say he'd never talk to me again.” Bravissima!!! Lannette Hope your logging operation goes well and the results are what you want. Here it seems…

Today’s gratitude: Tumble’s issue is likely a soft tissue injury from when I dropped a branch across her back. No X-rays needed, no trouble with her hips or discs. 10 day course of carprofen with massage along spine and warm compresses (towel from dryer). Just love Dr. Chris, wish he could clone himself ;) Ginny thanks for…

Today’s gratitude: Vet can see Tumble tomorrow at 10, but danged if I know whether it's in the Brookings hospital or the Gold Beach clinic. Won’t make it to BB&B, but might get to dance. Heather so thankful pain-at-rest is gone. Hope pain-in-motion follows it away soon. Home. Ahh! Carol I’m with Sue, it’s hard for me to…

Today’s gratitude: Tumble’s limp is no worse. 1/3 aspirin every 30 hrs or so seems to help. Next available appointment with vet is Sept 16. Calling every morning to see if any cancellations, but since neither life-threatening nor in extreme pain we get triaged out. Heather sorry the Xray session was so painful. Hope that’s…

Today’s gratitude: When Joe checked the water storage tanks, they were full to the brim, even after a load of laundry and a luxuriously long hot shower washing my hair. Line dance demo at the fair went well, was actually fun, but looong. 18 dances in a little over an hour with no breaks, a real workout. All those steps…

Today’s gratitude: chat with Joe in the car on the way to pooches’ nail trims. He was unusually talkative, I finally figured out it was because I was driving. Next time when he’s driving and silent, I’ll try to remember he’s concentrating, not giving me the cold shoulder. Yes, Lisa, you were missed. “honey badger” :laugh:…

Gratitudes: Today: This morning’s power outage was shorter than Monday’s ;} Yesterday: T3 is low normal so MD recommends snacking on a little Nori to make sure I’m getting enough iodine. Funny I thought living on the coast was a natural source ;) Anyhoo I’m thankful he’s not pushing thyroid meds. Mammo last month…

Today’s gratitude: the encouragement of others in the BB&B class. Annie what you said to Machka about caregivers needing to be flexible. ((hugs)). Barbie “…the things I chose to do or buy make me happy or fill a need…”, yes this! Pip, yup, guilty :naughty: Tracey Brava for consulting an expert about your table refinishing…

Today’s gratitude: Pastor’s wife’s, loving, understanding, forgiving response when I dinged her new car door. Meeting up with D and V at music in the park, chat stroll with D, pleasant time later with both at Chetco brewery. Shadow was welcome in both venues. Heather Huzzah! Sorry to hear there was discomfort in both hips…

Today’s gratitudes: Shower, hot tub, and the ramps at the Crissey Field visitor center. Finally felt water was safe enough to shower at home. What a luxury to have all my products on the shower shelf and not in a gym bag. Could only spare 15 minutes for the hot tub so I savored every moment. While the rest of dog group was…

Gratitudes: Yesterday: trip to P’s “deck party” over the pastures and into the redwoods. A family home/compound that looks like a rustic resort complete with indoor pool, hot tub, play structure and cabana. Today: I misread next week’s forecast (80s and 90s!) by looking at the Winchuck instead of our place (max 73). Whew!…

Belated happy birthday, @KetoneKaren Karen in VA. Sure miss you! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD Move more than yesterday, fuel better than yesterday, live NOW.

Today’s gratitude: blue skies, mild 60F temps. Pajama day, couldn’t drag my lazy butt outside despite the glorious weather. Made brown rice, prepped many more bean salad for tomorrow’s deck and dance party, started goat cheese for Sunday, worked on bathroom sink drain, grilled chicken breast and stir fried snow peas for…

Today’s gratitude:Joe’s eyes were clearer, brighter and less swollen/painful appearing this morning. Tumble’s trotting with her usual vigor, not favoring any limbs. When Joe checked the storage tanks this morning they were “the fullest and clearest they’ve ever been." Target’s free return donate-in-lieu-of-shipping policy.…

Today’s gratitude: waking up after good, dreamless sleep. Low energy almost a pajama day. Tumble is limping, at first it looked like one of her front legs, then after cutting out some of the mats behind her front knees, she seemed to favor the right rear leg. After working on her I was going to take Shadow to the powerline…

Today’s gratitude: good long chat with former work buddy. Lisa 11 whole days? Whoopeeeeeee! Yours to Vicki. Annie “broccoli from heaven” Brilliant! Tracey Bravissima for taking your walk. Baby steps. Later, lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD Move more than yesterday, fuel better than yesterday,…
