Could use some good news

[DruannB]

I've noticed the last few days on the forum have been unusually depressing. Many posters seem to be suffering from the blues, finding fault more than usual. I still plan to move to The Villages but how about a break? So, let me take this opportunity to share some good news and I hope many of you will also post your good news.

Here's my good news. My daughter showed up unexpectedly this week to celebrate the 4th with me. I only see her once or twice a year, so it turns into a special occasion each time. I'm very blessed to have two healthy, happy, self-sufficient children.

How about you? Any good news?

[billethkid]

Many of us are still on this side of the grass for another day!

The good news is your moving to The Villages with your positive attitude and friendly disposition.

More good news is Tom & I booked a trip to Alaska to explore the vast wilderness of untamed beauty. Now that we're finally retired this is the first of many trips of a lifetime to come. Yep, we're living the dream in TV and going to see the world too. Life is good!

A psychiatrist once wrote that his definition of intelligence was a person who refused to be unhappy. I certainly concur and believe that is the human experience. But one cannot discount that events in our lives or on the national level place us in an unhappy mood and so we need an outlet use it and return to our normal selves (the ubiquitous primal scream). Unfortunately the fact is that while half of us are happy and the other half sad about something and so when the latter half let's out a scream it interferes with the former half's zen moment .

I accept and adjusted long ago to this fact and counseled many an employee who were having those bad days. I also agree with that psychiatrist and work hard at refusing to be unhappy

Trust got back from walking a dog. While on the walk, I saw a woman struggling with her garbage. Had the pleasure of helping her and getting a very warm smile in return. Abby got puppy hugs for being such a good girl and waiting patiently. Think the three of us all left with warm smiles on our faces and in our hearts.

I like that.

I backed out of our garage one Thursday and promptly ran over the recycle bag. Half of it was spread out on the street, and the bag was stuck under the car. A gentleman in a golf cart stopped and helped me pick it all up and extricate the bag. We have nice neighbors.

The next week I did it again. Duh. I'm happy to say now I know better.

I have some good news to share... I had my second hole-in-one 2 weeks ago. It was on Palmetto, hole 5 with a pink Lady Soft Srixon ball and my 8 iron. So excited!! The other one was in Dec 2013. I've just being playing golf 3 years.

[rexxfan]

Congrats to Dee in MD for selling - it will be hectic for a while, but enjoy it. TV awaits your arrival!!

Our son came to visit us in TV in June. He did all sorts of things while he was there (and EVERYONE was wonderful to and for him - thank you). One thing we did together was try pickleball. We played often (not necessarily well). We are not back in New Jersey and have found some people and places where we can play. In spite of my ambivalance, I now am on a regular exercise program!

We sold our home in Ohio in two weeks and will be moving to our new home in Pine Ridge on July 28th!

That's great. Just be aware for the first several months you are here you will feel like you are on a vacation and when do you have to go back home. Then you realize this is home! yeah. Welcome, we are also from Ohio, Dayton.

2 happy thoughts: My ailments/infirmities got me excused from 18 weeks of Grand Jury Service and it is approx 6 months until I can return to my snowbird nest in TV.

I am so dog gone happy my husband has his own desk. Yep, that is my big happy for the day. Ladies, I don't have to say any more, right?

[rustyp]

More good news - weather same as yesterday. 95 degrees heat index 110 degrees today.

[JerryLBell]

My wife and I bought a house in TV a couple of months ago. We don't plan to retire until early 2017 and were afraid the second house would drain our finances but just couldn't tour TV again without committing to living hear. We just found out a few minutes ago that the property management company we have has found us renters that want the house for a year and possibly a year and a half, which would be just about perfect for us. The only thing that would have made us happier would have been to win enough money in the lottery to be able to retire today and move into our lovely new home tomorrow. So we're sharing the great news!

After a gradual decline in health over the past year due to an autoimmune disorder, I needed a walker just to get around the house and was in chronic pain. I started a new combination of medicines last month with wonderful results. I had honestly forgotten what it was like to feel normal!

Good health is the best news of all. :wave:

I played the most beautiful day of golf yesterday in Randolph, VT. The weather was a perfect 83 degrees, sunny with no humidity. My game wasn't the best, but it didn't matter at all!

What a wonderful thing to read. Good for you.


There are so many good, positive people on this forum and in this town. I had a bunch at our home this morning. Wonderful, warm, witty women with amazing lives. Good, solid, ordinary, but extraordinary girls.


I am so lucky. So blessed to live here with all of you.

Summer in FLA is HOT!
Maybe why people seem out of sorts.

My dear Son, D-I-L and adorable grandpuppy came down from NYC
The weekend before 4th of July. We had a great time.
My Son (only child) thinks T.V. Is the best place on earth!
He is totally right!

[DruannB]

Such great news from all of you. Thanks for lifting my spirits.

Even better news today - 95 degrees 115 heat index

Deepak and Oprah are starting a 23 day Manifesting Grace through Gratitude series tomorrow. It's free and you can sign up on her webbsite if you google Oprah.com or Deepak.com Their series are always a feel good experience and worth the time out from a busy day long after the series ends.
