I Have A Favor To Ask....

โ€ข64 Replies

The universe is really testing our mettle right now.

So I have a favor to ask:

Can you please share one positive statement?

It can be a memory or a musing. The more random the better. No need for frills or too much context. Just a simple, happy thought:

Astronauts have a cool job... Hb2003 's mom makes a bomb lemon merengue pie... Sloths have it all figured out...

Here's mine:

I love butterflies. I raise them every spring and set them free to help pollinate the plants around my area. They amaze me with their resilience. And they give me hope because they are proof that change can be beautiful ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿฆ‹

What is your positive thought?

FACT!

As I type this, Bellatrix is tearing through the apartment, chasing her brother, hissing and screaming like a deranged banshee.

But when I got my spinal tap and was in bed for 48 hours recovering, she never left my side. ๐Ÿ’–

Thank you for sharing! ๐Ÿ˜Š

My cat (my avatar) looked after my late wife when she was ill - I had only known her a few weeks when she rang me to say that she was ill... I could not leave my cat alone and move in with her - so I brought her back to my place. My cat knew he was not allowed upstairs - but he spent all day with her.Home is where your cat is!

Hi Batman, do you remember how we 3 musketeers started talking?! We started talking and became friends because we were working together to fight racial remark ignorance ๐Ÿค—

Ooo another good one! I remember when the first book was published. I bought it on a whim when I was about 13 or 14, and was hooked ever since ๐Ÿ’–

No worries, I'll be checking back in sporadically (I need to eat dinner... Haven't eaten for nearly 13 hours ๐Ÿ˜ณ Busy day)

As long as I don't have to work in the kitchens with the house elves ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'd be like, "Who wants socks?!" and then they'd all be so grateful they'd leave Hogwarts and cook for me til the end of my days... Which would only be like five days because I'd gain 800lbs and die a happy bloated whale. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

And I will call you max ๐Ÿ˜lol

Your story is so wonderful! Something similar happened when my grandmother passed away: In the Hindu culture, white is the color of mourning (not black). After my grandma died, we had a prayer ceremony at her house. While we sat, a white butterfly came and flew around each person. It stopped on a few of us grandkids. After it visited briefly with everyone, it flew off. And of course, we felt like it was my grandma coming back to say bye one more time ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿฆ‹

(You can copy and paste my butterfly emoji if you can't find yours ๐Ÿ’•)

I want to share that my oldest son, who has battled cancer twice, come back from the brink of death, has the coolest voice mail message. He says he is sorry he missed your call, but would you please tell him one thing you are really grateful for before you leave your message. I love that man! He gets what is important! Love to all! Kelly xx

โ€ข in reply toAmore55

Clearly he takes after you! You raised an amazing man ๐Ÿ’– I think that is such a wonderful idea- What a good reminder that despite all the nuttiness around us, we still have much to be grateful for.

I am so glad that he won his battle twice and right now I am grateful that you saw my post and shared this amazing story. Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

Anyone can have them ๐Ÿ˜Š I get the caterpillars online (they come with their own food, so you don't have to do much at all) and I bought a little mesh cage to keep them contained and safe from the cats. I started just doing 5 at a time, and expanded from there. My goal is to do 60 in one season ๐Ÿ˜† But I'm going to need more mesh cages lol

I love all wildlife. I have many bird feeders in our garden, so have an abundance of different varieties that feed on them. Bird boxes that I have watched Blue Tits and Great Tits raise their young, so uplifting watching and listening to nature, especially while in Lockdown. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿฐ๐ŸฆŠ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ•ธ๐Ÿ๐Ÿฆ‰

I have always said that cats are Good-Naturedly rude. I cannot imagine having none in my house.

My favourite memory from this year was our stay in a mediaeval town gate in Warwick. It is privately owned and the owner has turned it into really good holiday accommodation. It came complete with battlements. there were 4 of us and we bought 'armour', helmets, swords and other painful looking implements of mediaeval war at Warwick castle gift shop and had a mock battle on the battlements one night, much to the astonishment of the occupants of quite a few passing cars. We should have put up a sign that said 'crazy people on holiday here'!

My positive thot is when i have a long day at work and feeling crummy and my dog greets me at the door wanting my attention and can't wait for me to sit down so she can show me how much she missed me. ๐Ÿ’–
