Today is special

I am sorry this thread has been overthrown to football scores. I used to read it for real inspiration.

Perdita :(

Your AV's are inspiration enough, they bring back many happy days.

Wills, gracias. I'm lost at the moment, really. You're a good connection though.

Yeah, sorry about that, but the season's coming to its climax, and some of us do care. That's the English for ya, we haven't got a lot else to be proud of. Not that I'm particularly proud of the footballers: over-payed, over-valued, and full of self-importance. It keeps my old Nan happy, though. She's 86, and phones me up every Saturday evening, to give me a blow-by-blow account of Yeovil's game. It keeps her young, and us close.

Oh yes, we have got something else to be proud of! We beat the Windies in the cricket today. :D

Yes, hence my post above. I knew that would make you smile. ;)

You'll have to tell me about the DIY job.

I second that emotion, Perdita!
but the season's coming to its climax, and some of us do care.
That having been accomplished the season needs to kick back, sink into a state of post-climax somnolence, and shut up for a while.
 
Nothing too spectacular. Just took a hammer and chisel(s) to our fireplace. We've always hated it and have finally got around to doing something about it!
 
Oh, very sorry for posting about something that goes on in England. Perhaps it would've been preferable if I'd started talking about the election in the US in NOVEMBER. Or, maybe garnered some more comments about the way I look, and inviting more unwanted lecherous comments via PM. Afterall, nothing goes on in this cute little head of mine, I just want to talk about sex all the time.

Wasn't going to say anything in public, but you know who you are.

I'm staying hidden in the fog for a while.

Today is special because for the first time in forever, I can feel unhappy but simultaneously know that I love him and I am loved by him. It's sort of like being able to chew gum and walk at the same time.

That is beautifully said, Mia. :rose:

Um, no, we don't want to hear about the election either. Not here. Not now. Sufficient to the day...

Few special moments today: Looked at lots of old photos of my wife's family. Spent the day with my kids, one after the other.

Best moment -- nit-combing my younger one's long locks.
 
I made my Sunday visit to my grandmother this morning. She was cognizant and almost totally aware of what was going on around her. When I held her hand she smiled at me. That made it a good day. :heart:

Hmmmm, wonder who that could have been then???

And no, it wasn't me!

Yes, I'd say that was a good day, for her too I'm sure! :rose:

No, too damn right it wasn't you, babe! :kiss:

Anyways, enough of all that crap. Here's something special about my day today...

I formed a band with my two daughters. C was on keyboard and vocals, G was on guitar and vocals, and I was just doing vocals. We made up a song, and almost blasted the house down. Billy joined in, by howling along - must've been my singing. It was great fun, and something we often do. :)

Katie-Lou :rose:
 
Today I wrote six stories, I just felt in the mood for writing. Other than that it was a pretty boring day, except it's warmed up out there now, which is good.

Precious words Mia. :rose:

Today... I'm feeling good cos I got a favourable comment on my writing from someone who means a lot. :)
 
Woke early this morning. There is a tree outside my window, it catches the first rays of the sun. The warmth of the last few days have brought it into bud. I don't know what tree it is, each leaf buds like a tiny green jellyfish trailing tentacles golden in the suns light.

I haven't witnesssed this for may years, the last spring I spent here was 1988. Seeing it took me back, reminded me of my mother-in-law. That dear sweet lady, gone now some 19 years. We came here from UK because she was ill. Gave up a business and life in UK and have struggled to recover ever since. Regrets - yeh, my Portuguese was too poor to really talk with her. I talk with her now, thank her for her gift of a daughter and the love she showed to a stranger.
 
Today the 15th is a great day!

My oldest becomes a TEENAGER! Will I survive? I think so...

Hooray!

My beloved brother-in-law is home from Iraq! Sounded so happy on the phone when I spoke to him and couldn't believe the changes he came home to.

The 3 year old daughter he left was now a 4 year old daughter, going to school and teaching him Italian. (They're stationed in Italy and she's going to an Italian Catholic school....cool!)

The 6 week old son he left was now a 6 month old son and smiled the instant he heard his Daddy's voice. "How do they know?" he asked me. The only thing I could come up with was Love.

The wife he left behind, could barely leave the house for social anxiety disorders and upon seeking treatment and medication was now outgoing and had made several friends in his absence.

He says to me:

"The world I left was more than I ever could have asked for and one I cherished and missed dearly every day I was away. But the one I came back to is beyond imagination and I hope I never have to leave again."

Bittersweet. He's an F-16 pilot and will most likely spend many more months away before all is said and done. But for now, they are all together safe and happy and this brings me immeasurable joy.
