Off day gratitude

Spent most of Sunday at the hospital. Totally wiped and won't make it through the game. So let's go for some gratitude.

I'm grateful that I'm not having to go through my mother's illness alone. I'm grateful that while I was at the hospital, my siblings went through the house and tossed out a bin full of junk my mom's been hoarding. The house feels fresher and lighter and I hope that means I'll sleep better tonight. I'm also grateful for all those who offered solutions to my insomnia and all those who offered virtual hugs or made themselves available should I need help. I'm surrounded by a lot of great people who care about me, including all of you in this community here, and I'm especially grateful for that.

What are you grateful for?

Party weekend!

The Yankees have been vanquished! Time to celebrate in song and story.

Friday Fun Day

With all the soul-sucking losses, let's have some fun! Share fun stories, gifs, poems, cooking tips, recipes, videos or anything else you can think of.

Monday Gratitude

After that gut-wrenching weekend, how about writing down 5 things you're grateful for?

My list:
1. Having a great time at my friend's birthday party flirting with an attractive young man and catching up with old friends.
2. My sister, who stayed with my mom, even when I got home later than planned.
3. For the 30-day challenge I'm doing right now to bring a project to fruition
4. For the internet which connects me to the people I care about no matter how far away.
5. This community which gives me a way to serve others.

Express yourself!

This was going to be another poetry post but I got thinking about all of you who are resistant to writing poetry. So I'm opening it up to stories told in gif or emoji form as well.

Talk about how things went in Houston, how you feel about the trades, the upcoming series with the Yankees, the day off, or any overall baseball feelings.

Gratitude Challenge

After what just transpired, I want to change the energy in this place. So I'm issuing a challenge:

Name 5 good things in your life right now.

Thanks to not owning a phone, I took the red eye home from Ottawa Sunday morning and my body is zonked.
