1. I went to the Flea Market to pay our employee and one of my customers from the past was there. I proceeded to sell them $240.00. I was only going to stay for a few minutes. I was there an hour.
2. My employee gave me a birthday card and a key chain from Holland. She is from Holland and I have lots of keys.
3. I finished one pile of paperwork.

1. I had work to do, but didn't have to rush for a change.

2. My eyebrows are starting to fill in again! (This means the thyroid medication is actually having an effect, since low tyroid is apparently what made the outside third of them fall out in the first place.)

3. A gentleman I invited to accompany me on a car club fall colors cruise on Saturday accepted the invitation! :-)

After two days of hibernating (not a good time of year for me)
1. I got up and showered and felt good.
2. I went to Curves and worked out and got to see one of my favorite employees who I haven't seen in ages.
3. I went back to piano class, first time in awhile and only two of us showed so we got a really good lesson!

1. I found out I understood more than my exam mark in a class would have indicated. It was just that the time limit caused me to rush my words, and thus not communicate my knowledge as well as I could have.

2. On a different exam that I SWEAR I failed, I got a 56%.

3. Normally I would contemplate dropping a class like that, but the class mean was 47%, so if it's scaled, then I'm doing pretty well. How on EARTH can a teacher say an exam which has a class mean of BELOW FAILING is a fair exam?

This is from yesterday Thursday because I didn't get back on computer last night until just now:

1. Saw a video I really liked--"Fever Pitch" with Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon--one of those "feel good" movies that really does lift your spirits! Watched it in segments in between doing some hard work Thursday.

2. Took a picture out the window of a beautiful silver maple that may be taken down by the town. I LOVE the photo; glad I went ahead with taking it!

3. Maria was here to help me with various tasks, including getting the upstairs Air Conditioner out of the window for the season (we almost dropped it out the 2nd floor window, but we DIDN'T!) Now I'm "snug" for winter!

1. today is my Mom's 85th birthday.

2. she is alive. she is very healthy. she still drives (just got her license renewed). i'm happy she only drives for errands, doctors. she doesn't drive at night. family members always pick her up and drop her back at home at night. she still owns and lives in the same house i grew up in...built in 1950. i'm happy she can take care of herself since she wouldn't allow anyone to take care of her for any length of time. she is very stubborn and used to living alone; her way on her own terms.

3. i will be able to celebrate with her in a few weeks. (actually, i could celebrate with her now...but it was better for her to wait until Thanksgiving).

Friday's positives:

1. Sent an overdue email off to a magazine writer, even though it wasn't "perfect"...promised her more info later. Feels good to have that much done.

2. Good hot supper from Boston Market's buffet line in local Stop n Shop: rarely do this, so a real treat. Sat in car to eat and savored every bite.

3. Watched a squirrel in the small children's garden in back of the museum where I dropped off donations: he seemed very glossy and happy, beautiful fur, and pert positive personality! Those maple seeds were providing him with a feast, and the fenced off garden was a quiet retreat for him, and for me.

Wishing everyone luck with their positivity today!

Got the news that my hubby is doing so well after surgery 2 days ago, he's done several (walking) laps around the hospital ward!

I got to hang out and relax this morning without dashing over to the hospital, and will be in better shape to visit him this afternoon.

Deanofwords dropped by and we traded bagels. Yes, bagels. I like moist, yummy Montreal style and he likes Toronto bagels, which are basically just bread-buns with a hole in 'em. I had the type he likes and vice versa, so we traded. YUM!

1. i only had to stay in the hospital one night and they determined my chest pressure was NOT heart related. (riding in an ambulance is embarassing--being taken through the lobby of a very busy kaiser clinic to be taken the kaiser hospital 25 miles away--by the way!)

2. it's my favorite time of year and even in california we get some nice color changes in the trees around here. dh and i had a nice drive over the pass coming back from the hospital and he took me to maui tacos for fish tacos.

3. we got a check for over 400 bucks back from the money we closed on our new house with. the title company was off in their estimate. we can use it to pay bills!

1. All my tax returns are done!!!! I just have to mail 5 and deliver 1 on Monday.
2. It helped to have the extra hour as we "fall back". Maybe I won't be late for the Baptism and BBQ this afternoon.
3. I've been working non stop for months, but I'm starting to see the benefits in the bank account.

3. dh's back feels good enough that he went to hit a few golfballs with a friend.
4. i need to add a 4, sorry! i get to eat the stew i made thursday night. i could taste it in the hospital as i ate their cardio diet of defrosted hashbrowns and powdered eggs. (hashbrowns have to be crisp for at least one bite!!)

I need a quiet centering exercise to ground me after three rough days, so here goes with my three positives for each of three days: Saturday/Sunday/Monday Oct 29/30/31.....

Saturday 29th:
1. I was grateful I made it to the memorial service for the beloved director of a local children's museum, a woman who had been so helpful to me since Mother died and who was taken way too soon at age 57. It was a BEAUTIFUL UPLIFTING service, with many people sharing positive memories, and a wonderful jazz clarinet rendition of Amazing Grace. The feeling of community of about 150 people at the reception afterwards was also a blessing, and I feel I made some new human connections for the future.

2. I "communed" with the same gray squirrel as yesterday in the garden of the children's museum. He was busy eating his maple seeds; I was busy meditating on staying in present time with him (or her).

3. I allowed myself to rest Saturday evening.

Sunday the 30th:
1. Wendy was cheerfully there to support me at my Dad's again.

2. I created a cow-themed birthday card for Dad (picture off the internet with added cut-and-paste addition) for his 91st birthday; he seemed to really appreciate.

3. I am having trouble coming up with a third, but that is part of the point of this exercise...take some time to think and find the positive: And I've got it now--my cat Maggie was delighted when I arrived home and she's just developed a new bed cuddling technique with me that I really like.

Monday the 31st:

1. I finally had a chance to connect with friend Michael over the telephone.

2. I had rented Fever Pitch again, because it really put me in "a good space" the first time around. I watched the first half over again and found it did lift my spirits even on second viewing.

3. Marla did return my phone call, even though it was late and I couldn't talk; I still treasure the fact that she called.

Here's a start for Tuesday November 1st:

1. I got myself past an early-morning anxiety attack, and got the 2nd bag of trash out to the curb before garbage pickup, so it's like starting with a clean slate for the day and the month in more ways than one!

I appreciate all your contributions above!!
Wishing you all the best for the day~Beth

1. i drove a friend and her son to the sacramento airport and we had a nice 2-hour visit on the way.

2. kaiser feels my ds is okay and doesn't need an mri or ct scan at this point.

3. i got a free oil change on the suburban and they didn't then tell me they had found a zillion things wrong with it!

1. I worked from home today, and so I missed the train accident that delayed trains for over 2 hours today. (This is good, since I likely would've left work early and would've been upset that I would've had to wait for hours, especially since I'm not feeling all that great and waiting would not be pleasant!)

2. My housekeeper came today. The house is clean!

3. My stepmother's dog -- who was bit by a rattlesnake last night -- is home and doing fine. And isn't snake season over? What the heck?

1) VinBlanche is recuperating in leaps and bounds from his surgery last Thursday!

2) I got some grocery shopping done today.

3) I managed to wrangle the computer away from Vin a few times today. So I could get my CH fix. ;)

Tuesday November 1st, continuing from my #1 above:

1. I got myself past an early-morning anxiety attack, and got the 2nd bag of trash out to the curb before garbage pickup, so it's like starting with a clean slate for the day and the month in more ways than one!

2-a. Finally got a response from someone I had asked about meditation and spirituality links on the internet, that I was hoping to explore! Had waited for response for quite a while, so finally getting it was all the sweeter!

2-b.Also heard from my cousin!

3. Still enjoying my Fever Pitch movie rental!
