My first highlight of the day was being able to go back to sleep after my husband left at 5a.m.
No school for Amy today - it's election day and they use it for superintendent's day, since we vote at the schools.

Some days it really is difficult to find a highlight... but it's something I've never done before and really does help to keep things in perspective.

I guess you hadta be there...but if u can picture my lil' guy trotting behind us the entire time. The look on his face said "Hey guys! Wait up! Where ya goin'? Wait for me!!!" Priceless! Christina

the first one was Peanut was outside with daddy...and he picked a pansey. Daddy told him "no no"...and he got the funniest look on his face...AND TRIED TO PUT IT BACK ON!!!! It was so funny because of his expression!!!!
2nd highlight was getting seeds in the mail...the columbines of Cedar Hill! I was SOOOOOO excited and then I opened a letter from Mary Mary...and she had put in a seed packet of Cosmic orange Cosmos!!! My crappy little yard is going to become a very sentimental yard! I already have cacti from Cindy Mary Jo, seeds to start from the Jiffster...and now more to add to them! I am LOVIN it!!!!!!!! Thanks Mr. Bill & Mary!!! Just made my day!

(he is mud colored, that's why i don't see a lot of him ~ he is hard to see!)

I love this thread.Just reading here always reminds me to count my blessings.
I'm glad you're feeling better Sheri . The news lately about avian flu is really freaking me out. Has anyone read "The Stand" by Stephen King?
I have to push myself anyway to not be a germaphob.
sorry,I'm rambling.One of my highlights today. I've been workin' my bootie off trying to get the savings account up to par. But my girls need to have printer for school stuff.So we got a new one........only 50 bucks!and it's a scanner and copier too.
yay.........this momma gets to make seed packages again.

...and when you run out of ink it will cost you over 50 bucks to replace both cartridges! I don't understand that ...I was talking to my mom about it today...how you can buy a new printer with ink for less than you can buy a color and black ink cartridge for it when it runs out.

Man...and I hate that!!! I would love to be able to do everything I WANT to with the printer..but man...who can afford it!!! I would rather make all my greeting cards than buy them...but you can buy them so much cheaper!!! So...I wouldn't be able to use my printer at all right now if I didn't have a friend who GENEROUSLY sent me some ink cartridges!!!! But...trust me..I use them SPARINGLY!!!!

I have a Canon i350. It cost more $ but the cartridges are only about $8. Highlights for me... Going to mom & dad's for Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. Niece called me and asked my favorite color because she was making me my Christmas present.
Got the nicest compliment from a customer last weekend that made me cry. He asked me "do you know what I like about you?" I said nope. He said "everything". All because I didn't get grossed out by his skin graft scars on his hands. I just showed him mine:) His scars were from a burn but mine are from 2 of my fingers being grown together.
Oh and I enjoyed a nice drive home watching the sun go down through the clouds. Nancy

My highlight today...Peanut used a spoon ALL BY HIMSELF!!! BUT...the biggy was...we have been working with him forever...and the school has also since he started there. Wasn't gonna happen!!! We have tried EVERYTHING!
So today, when the kids were all here for supper. He sat down at his table for his dessert (applesauce) which I always have to feed him...but forgot the towel so I laid the spoon down to get it. He picked it up...put it perfectly in his little hand..and scarfed down the whole bowl of applesauce! It was almost like he was "saving" it for EVERYONE to see!!! Needless to say...a full blown party errupted! He is such a sweetie! And he can use a spoon all by himself! Sniff sniff!

Um it's been awhile since I got on this string so I guess I'll add some highlights that have been occurring in my life recently. I joined a church and will be baptised on the 19th of November at 11:45a.m. you all are welcome to come. Or I'll tell you all about it afterwards.
I've been helping with the service work at the church and loving every minute of it. They are really nice people and do a great job of taking care of their members and people in need in the community.
So that's my highlight.

Can't wait to hear about your baptism. I'm glad you found yourself a nice caring church I heard you mention elders in another post...could it be a Mormon church that you have joined? I don't mean to be nosy,It's just that I was raised in the Mormon church and yours sound similar to them.

:clp:such great news from my palies here. I am so glad for you.
Tuesday is always my best day now.I don't have to go anywhere.
Cleaning up the house and doing the laundry....yippee!!! no really .... ..I actually enjoy it. Then my girls come home from school,we get school work done.Have some dinner.
Woo Hoo..........then we play games.Chess,checkers,hearts,spades,cranium.
Nikki beat me in chess tonight (first time),I was so proud.
The trees,the lovely trees.If someone asked me my favorite plant it would have to be an evergreen tree.
I always get the blues this time of year.I can't help it.My plants and trees look so sad,bare, and dead. Of course I know in my head they are only sleeping.

my highlight of hte day is that i went for a consultation for laser hair removal , and he said that he could really help me. until now i have tried every thing known to man (or should i say woman) to get rid of unsightly hair but have never been able to actually get rid of it. and so even though this is a bit embarrassing to admit - i am so excited to start the treatments!! and the dr.is also a friend of my hubbie's so he gave us a 75% discount. now how can you beat that!?

I am glad you posted this Jiff..I have been wondering about your new job this week! I am so glad you like it...that is half the battle!!!
Does your Lion's club sell the famous brooms?
My highlight today was feeding my kids...again! At the end of the day...that is what I am all about...doing for my family. "doing" is mostly cooking...but it just does my heart good to see them sitting around, enjoying a good meal and laughing...playing with the babies..but most of all, I am so very PROUD of the wonderful daddy MY baby has become. He is a wonderful father and adores my little goatbaby and is exceptional with Peanut! Who could ask for more...

Yeah ...I finally downloaded a song I've been trying to get for a week.

yes we do. and, we collect used hearing aids, eye glasses, and cell phones. the glasses and hearing aids are cleaned, reconditioned, and recycled for needy folks, some here in the US, and some of the glasses go to other countries, depending on the need here. we are usually able to get new glasses for folks here in the US, but the cores of the hearing aids can be put into new "molds" (the part that goes in the ears) at a fraction of what new ones would cost. the cell phones go to different groups/people and/or are sold depending on the make/model/age/condition. but all are put to good use. some are programed for 911 only and given to people who would be out of contact otherwise.

My former pastor who is also a nurse practioner...now strictly does foriegn missions. He works with an optomotrist that travels with him so they collect old glasses as well. I will never forget him coming back from El Salvador and telling me about a woman who was in her 80's that had been almost completely sightless for most of her life. They did some work on her, fit her with glasses and she saw her grown children, grandchildren and great grandchildren for the first time!!! It was very overwhelming for him..(and me when I heard it!)

well, i guess i should add another highlight... while we are on the topic of touching "sight" stories... a woman came up to us today, gave us $25 for tickets, said to make the camp out as the purchaser, and told us that her granddaughter was one of the campers several years ago, and while she was there, she met her husband. then, was able to go back as a camp counselor for 2 more years! so, if you know of a blind person in ga,, particularly a child, let me know because the camp is free to the child all except a small registration fee, and lots of the lion's clubs even cover that! this is a sleep away camp specially set up with nature trails, horseback riding, swimming, all the "campy" stuff, but blind friendly.

Isn't that exciting Jiffy? I love watching birds in winter - they are so busy keeping their little bodies warm! This morning there was a blue jay just busy as a beaver tapping something on our Japanese Maple tree out back. Beautiful colors on this dreary looking day!

My highlight today has been the "happiness" of the past week! Spending quality time with my family for the holidays. Landing a WONDERFUL Doc for P~Nutty. Getting to cook a late, pressure free Thanksgiving meal.... A full nights sleep for the baby.. The excitement of a "possible" house...
Ya know, after you go through one of those bad deep vallies of crisis where nothing goes right...it is so refreshing to have some "possitives" hit home!!!!
