[Dolphin14]

So gorgeous!

I'm grateful the sun was out today.

I'm grateful for peace

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

Yes i want sun too!!!! I want the beach badly! 🏝 Great you have peace. Happy for you.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight]

Beach..... beautiful thought. I can't wait

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

When will you go? We usually go in July. May go to a dog beach with family friends who also have a dog. Seems so far away 😆

[Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight]

I will start going late May/June. Great walking weather and less crowded.

I do go all season long back and forth.

My dog loved the water We had so much fun chasing the waves 🐾❤️

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

You know I think we will go earlier too since that’s what my friend does. Awww 🥰 my dog loves water too. Do you live close to the beach? It takes us about 4 hours. I love road trips.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight]

Wow 4 hours is quite a trip but so worth it. Yes I live along the coast.But I have a favorite beach I go to. It's 90 minutes away. I spend a lot of time there.

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

Nice! I could live on the beach easily.

[Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight]

It's been my happy place since I was young. I grew up just houses from the beach.

Spent a lot of time looking at that vast ocean and knowing someday peace would come.

Beach weather will be here before we know it

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

Awww nice. I visited the beach every summer as a kid and never stopped as an adult. Ha I needed that you are right beach weather will be here soon enough! Time flies

[Jstbcuz in reply to Starrlight]

I feel the same way!!! I need sun and the beach would be awesome. Iowa is so gloomy and cold right now

🤤

[Starrlight in reply to Jstbcuz]

Same here in VA blah

[lillyofthevalley37]

[Starrlight in reply to Hb2003]

You are so blessed. My father was so critical of every move I made. My mother tried to compensate I think but didn’t get me the help I needed. Never talked to me about anything like life you know?! Anyway I’m thankful for you being here. We love you 😍

[Hb2003 in reply to Starrlight]

I am grateful for my negative COVID test results (been in isolation since last week & did test this Friday).Grateful for coffee in my cup & my pup to snuggle with this morning.

Grateful for my love ones.

What book are you reading Starrlight?

[Starrlight in reply to melbrown]

A friend of mine wrote a book called Cursed? By Jess McCann that I just started and it’s similar to a book about the ego called THE Power Of Now and ANew Earth by Eckhart Tolle but mostly to do with relationships.

[Nothing_but_books in reply to melbrown]

That's terrific news!

[melbrown in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Thanks. I work with my brother, he's definitely happy I'll be back (most of the office was out all last week, coworker exposed us to Covid). I'll be happy for the distraction of work.

[Dubba61]

Happy for you Starrlight. I am grateful that the Sun shined today and I was able to go out for a little walk.

[Starrlight in reply to Dubba61]

Awesome. I so need a walk but I’m sock so I’m just looking forward to a sunny day when I’m up to it. Enjoy the rest of your day!

[Dubba61]

👍

[Sillysausage234]

Another amazing Starrlight original 😀....I would never think of taking that photo but you have an excellent natural artistic flair .....p.s how’s that handsome toady ?....oh I’m .grateful for apple pie and custard...and melbrowns negative covid test

[Starrlight in reply to Sillysausage234]

Nice that you are enjoying apple pie and custard. Do you think I’m weird that I prefer vegetables? Thanks I love taking photos. I am watching toady play with the kiddos right now. He’s having a blast. I’m so happy for Mel’s test too.

[Sillysausage234 in reply to Starrlight]

What’s the chances of finding a girlfriend for him?....🤔....or boyfriend.....not wierd at all I could quite happily go vegetarian..and fish .....photos are really good....Elliot used to post some good ones too ...looking up at trees ...all the branches

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Starrlight]

I for one would enjoy seeing Mr. Toad again.

[melbrown in reply to Sillysausage234]

💗 Thanks Alan. Don't think Hans is going to be happy when he's humans go back to the office Tues 😄 Hope you are sharing that pue with your pups.

[Sillysausage234 in reply to melbrown]

Poor Hans ....he will definitely miss you ....be waiting all day behind the door my terrier just sits looking out the glass if I go out without her ..which isn’t often....she had a nice tripe dinner...is now sleeping it off 😀

[melbrown in reply to Sillysausage234]

Lucky pup 🐶. You forget Hans is part whippet... he'll be on the bed or sofa until he hears us at the door... then will try to make break for it. Fastest coach potatoe, he is.

[Sillysausage234 in reply to melbrown]

My friend has one ....it does like the sofa too lol 😀

[Hidden]

I'm grateful, for the suns out, no anxiety attacks running errands, cleaning out my clothes closet, finished phase II of basement renovation. Accomplishments are good.

Starlight love the image. Sights like that need to be captured, purple is my fav color. 💜💜

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Awesome sounds like a fresh productive day. I need to get things done but sick today

[Hidden in reply to Starrlight]

I’m so sorry you are sick, I hope you are hydrating and getting much rest.

I highly recommend an app called Sleep Stories if you like bed time stories and lullabies read to you. Some famous voices tells the stories. This is such a comfort to me not only at night but when I’m feeling tired and just resting and need quiet and tranquility. Close your eyes and let amazing voices send you to another demsion. It also teaches meditation too, I thought I’d hate it, boy was I wrong. 😂😂I think you’d like it very much if you haven’t heard of it already.

Sending you get well quickly wishes. 🌺💜🌺💜

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Hidden]

Hey Roxie, I tried to search Sleep Stories, but I only got a couple youtube videos and a link to Calm.com I only have a computer. Can I find the bedtime stories for it? Are they on Calm? Do you have to pay? It'd be great to have something calming around 3 a.m. The Deathly Hallows is NOT good to put in your brain as you drift off.

[Hidden in reply to Nothing_but_books]

It’s only for IOS and Android. I’m using an Apple Tablet. I hate you don’t have a phone.

It’s free, I do think you and others would absolutely love this app. The stories are designed so that you don’t make it to the end and fall asleep. There is endless stories to choose from.

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Hidden]

If I can borrow a phone for a while, is CALM what you are talking about? That says it's not free.

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Yes i will do some sleep stories thank you Roxie!

[Hidden]

I am grateful for you and all the great posts you put on here!!! Beautiful picture.💖

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Aww I am so grateful for you you are a breath of fresh air

[sophie4]

To be alive and to have had two minutes of a video chat with one of my granddaughters!

[Starrlight in reply to dmt1121]

Beautiful

[twentythreeme]

I am grateful for the sun. The feeling of it warming the top of my hair as I walk down the street. I don't know why that feeling means so much to me, but with how little we see the sun lately, I'm grateful to feel her while she's out.

[Starrlight in reply to twentythreeme]

I have been feeling that way about the sun lately too!!! I feel we need it badly.

[san_ray70]

Grateful for my health, for the past week my back was hurting and now it is better. Also grateful for my darling hubby who has looked after me. I will be grateful for the Covid Jab. when we get it.

[Starrlight in reply to san_ray70]

I’m glad you are better now and that you have your husband there for you.

[DIsneyQueen]

I am grateful for today and all the gifts God has given me. I have MS and can barely walk with a walker but my life is wonderful and I am truly blessed, so thanks for asking and allowing me to share

[happyseal]
