I'd like to remember three things from Monday february 6, 2006:
1. Tried out a brand new restaurant for the first time in a long time, recommended by friend Debbie. Named Panera's I think, tucked into Enfield Mall in CT. A good place to decompress and warm myself with French Onion soup and 1/2 tasty chicken sandwich, with one of those faux fireplaces (gas?) that look like the real thing.
2. Successfully gave Debbie support in her decluttering in front of the cameras...
3. And brought my group members together to bask in the warmth of their good spirits.

For today wed feb 8, it's been pretty harried, but I found an oasis in my Harry Potter book, a tense-release-breathe progressive relaxation tape, and a brief talk with Marla.

1. I got my taxes back from the accountant today and I get a REFUND! Wooohoo! That hasn't happened in years.

2. I got my hair colored and trimmed on my lunch break and it looks pretty good.

3. I got a 2-day-late birthday cake, but it was chocolate so who cares!!!

Hi..this is my first time posting in this thread. I have been going through a really rough time lately but today..
1. I've had some beautiful flowers and words of encouragement sent my way that have really lifted my spirit!
2. I am making some wonderful new friends here at the clubhouse!
3. One of my dearest friends called me tonight and we talked and talked and talked for a very long time and it was a great conversation!

1. I fixed my upstairs bedroom TV. Bought some cables that I didn't need and then a new two way splitter which is the part that was the culprit. It feels good when you fix something.

2. Blew off going to my Buddhist group. Wasn't in the mood. Feeling sad about a relationship break up. Think it was the right decision to turn around and go hom. Low energy. It's hard to make new friends, try new things, when you're not ready for it. I think I made the right decision.

3. Took down some old letters to the editor from the bulletin board. Filed them away. Makes the bathroom look less old and tired.

1. Worked an "on call" project this morning, which means I need to be ready for the files as they arrive. Since I was the editor, I got paid for the first half hour twice 'cause I was transcribing another job while waiting for the files to start arriving for the on-call job. :-)

2. Finished transcribing the med conference in time to watch the Olympics LIVE tonight (as live as it gets on NBC) instead of taping and watching tomorrow morning.

3. Still found time to get the laundry done and pack a few things 'cause I'm heading to the beach tomorrow for a weekend with friends. WHEE! :-)

1. I found the positivity thread without
asking directions.
2. I got to read what Newman and Baby had to say.

1. I received my "hard to find" container that sweet Costa took the time to shop for, check with me to make sure it was the right thing and sent to me all the way across the country!
2. I received a very nice personal note from one of the TVCH members whom I haven't had a chance to correspond with until today!
3. I am meeting more and more wonderful friends here at the clubhouse!
4. I have met someone here who has turned out to be a very caring, kind and loving friend!

1. I made it through the week.

2. When Travis and I went to Subway this evening, a lady was sitting on the sidewalk (mind you it is cold and raining here) with a little boy standing beside her. She asked for money for food. While we were inside, I gave Travis some money to take out to her. When I came out there was a man and another little boy with her. As we walked by she thanked me. When I got in the car I gave Travis some more money and he gave it to them. They were all nicely dressed and Travis noticed this. I told him their clothing didn't mean they couldn't be having a hard time just like we had not so long ago. So not only did I pay it forward, but my son learned a valuable lesson.

3. Ditto on Baby's #3 above.

Native_texan, I think what you and your son did was wonderful. To some, it would not be that big of a deal. But, to that family, it probably meant a great deal! Just think if we all, in whatever way we could, helped others. I do believe this world would be a much better place for all!

Thanks for the post..it made me smile. And smiling is a "good" thing!

1. Delighted to see so many people posting in this thread!
2. I got a LOT done today, even though I am feeling a little overwired from it; now just need to find a good way to decompress.
3. Also, good things came TOWARD me today: on the same day, I got responses from 2 phone msgs I left a week ago Wednesday (re tree removal and change of counselor); both are positive and will help things move forward in my life.
And as (4.): although friend Michael was on his way out the door this morning when I called, he did stay on the phone with me long enough to work a few things out.

Questions for Max: I see you work in transcription. Having a long ongoing transcription project in the works for over a year (2 and 1/2 hr lecture by respected researcher), I wondered if you had any tips for doing transcription? So far I've just been plodding ahead; past the half way point, but still a long way to go. Have it on digital recorder, so I can play on computer, but keep thinking, there must be an easier, less time-consuming way, but maybe there isn't??

In any case, to end on a postive note, thank you all for being here. It's where I come to decompress, like now!

Hey Native!!!

I finally started that thread... The "Paying it FORWARD" thread is located here.

Oh back on topic! My three things:

1. A friend called this morning and we are having lunch next week. We are the kind of friends who may not see each other for a couple of months, but when we do we pick up right back where we left off.

2. My shoulder is not hurting today. It's not!

3. I just read the post in my folder and saw that Baby received her container and that it fits purr-fectly! I was glad to find something that exactly matched her specifications!!! (And... she got it yesterday! Instead of Monday!!! With UPS you never know if you'll get it the sooner day or the later day!)

(And I'm still pretty darned impressed with myself that I got all my electronics equipment hooked up and working. TV. VCR. DVR. DVD. A/V switch. All working. And I'm loving my DVR!)

wow it's been awhile since I've been over here to read what's going on with others. . .so maybe I'll put in what's going on with me :-)

1. The electricity came back on in time for use to sleep in and not have to worry about when it would come back on :-)

2. Jai told me he had to go to the potty BEFORE he had to go and then held it until he got onto his throne!!!!!

3. The gluten free cake I made actually tastes great :-)

late day Sunday Feb 26:
1. I got safely back home from my Dad's before it got too bitterly cold!
2. I got to see Drew win on Dancing with the Stars!
3. It was satisfying that I worked on cataloging photographs and notes from an archiving project that I am starting up again, after having let it drop for a year and a half. I am hoping to hire a new photographer to help me in the process, and this is prep work.

Mom is settling in better than I could EVER have imagined at the nursing home, and I'm back to what I do best, organizing things for her, and making sure they run smoothly.

I set her up with her own phone-number today for her room. Just have to drop the phone off for her tomorrow.

I've gotten lots of info about Kosher meals on wheels and registered her for it... She's eating like a vegetarian at the place. So we might start ordering it for her by next week.

1. I didn't do any work today. The boss is gone and I played around in the Baby Boomers thread all day.

2. No snow today. We had a few flurries dance around, but that was it.

3. I put yellow tulips out in my office as a sign of hope for spring. They cheer me up.

1. Unexpectedly, I found the organic kitty grass I'd been unsuccessfully looking for--at my natural "whole foods" store rather than my pet store! It was less expensive there, and my darling cat Maggie is delighted!
2. My niece unexpectedly phoned today and left a nice msg on my machine!
3. I got back to the health club for a health drink, workout on the treadmill, and good hot shower!

1. Keep meaning to mention, that when I was finally conceding my old wornout aqua blue slippers to the trash the other day, I sighed a little thinking I would never find another pair exactly like them! (They date back over 10 years and belonged to my late Mom.) No sooner did I trash them, than I went looking in my hall closet to see what other slippers I had on hand and lo and behold, I had a brand new pair in there identical to the aqua ones, except in color (I am now wearing lavendar ones!)...so never say never! I am wearing my "new" lavendar slippers right now!
2. Tried something new today in going to chiropractor for first time for possible pinched nerves affecting my hands; don't know if the treatment will work, but liked the friendliness of the chiropractor, who had been recommended to me!
3. Stopped on my way home for a Wendy's fish sandwich, which they ONLY serve this time of year for Lent AND I stopped briefly at Sears for an easy exchange of a new nightgown for a different size...also saw that this branch of Sears has a much wider assortment of nighttime wear, so I may go back for much needed second gown.

I'll give it a whirl!

1. The silent auction I was in charge of went well, we cleared $4100. And I got a B & B certificate for $41 (value $150) and a Reflexology Session for $20. I woulda bid more but no one bid against me.
2. My hubby cooked AND cleaned house for me yesterday because he got home early. YAY!
3. We were expecting 5 inches of snow and freezing rain today but got just a dusting. Double YAY!!
