Gratitude Monday: Don't it feel good! : Black Tortoise Press

Did you miss me last week? I missed you. I insisted I take a break. I am in the process of learning some new formatting software, InDesign. Ugh! Not so fun. But, I’m getting it. Boo for spinning my wheels. Yay, for persistence. Double yay for success. I feel like I gave it my all and conquered. No a physical feat, but just as rewarding. Today, I’m back in my routine. And to quote a song:

I’m walking on sunshine!

Heck, here’s the video. Much better than just the words.

And don’t it feel good!

So in no particular order, here are some more things on my list this Monday:

[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] The neighbor teen, Ander, coming home from the hospital

[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Family weddings. One of my nieces—one of the quadruplets—got married this weekend. The first time witnessed the bride and groom lifted hight on chairs. Wonderful.

[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Cats with new toys.

[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] CoCo baking zucchini bread all by herself. Many phone calls, but still, by herself.

[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] A good soaking rain.

[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Impatient blooming in the shade.

[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Blueberry bushes that took root and are thriving. (Crossed fingers for a winter survival.)

[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Anti-mosquito pellets for the pond. Those little stingers are gone, gone, gone.

[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, zucchini, peppers.

[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Loved-One who loves to can all those vegetables mentioned above. I’m assisting him, rather than the other way around.
