Please post here something wonderful that you want to share.


I can't. I am still frozen to the core after playing nine holes of golf with the nicest girls you could find anywhere. I need some warming thoughts.


PLUS I am tired of controversy and villager against villager.


What makes you happy?

Does it have to be about TV? We just got back from the Keys, and it was so nice to run into a bunch of friendly people from all over the place, on vacation for a week or so. More smiles and laughter than I could count.

I'm happy, no ecstatic, to be living my dreams of singing and dancing in a variety of venues. Never thought I would ever do things I have done here in the wonderful Villages!

I am so happy that our granddaughter has grown up to fulfill all the hopes and dreams we have had for her. She is employed in her field and calls often and now I am learning from her.

My loving husband who is healthy and celebrating his 80th birthday this month.

The magnificent light we have in Florida.

The wildlife all around us.

Riding in my cart enables me to feel up close and personal with nature.

Having my sister move to TV and sharing this incredible life with her.

Today we had the first sign of spring after a long brutally cold snowy winter. It was 46 and sunny, and felt like 80 to us Michiganders. It was a wonderful day to see people driving with their windows open and smiling. Spring fever!

Why I'm happy to be here...

They just started clearing the beach road in front of our former abode in Muskegon, MI. It's been closed off since November. Going to take till March 21 for it to reopen. Oh, and all that white part under the blue sky, as far as the eye can see? That's Lake MI. The Great Lakes are 93% frozen over.

I'm feeling so happy to be here in 50 degrees. Bring it on!

My beloved daughter is here we are going to a stable tomorrow. My ridiculously funny aussie got sheared with horse clippers with his marine cut and now his hair is only a sixteenth of an inch instead of three inches so less to clean up. I ate half a bottle of macadamia nuts ...yummm...and no guilt. I have the best pair of long underwear so I don't care if it is a bit chilly. I feel like I am living inside a warm cloud.

Gracie - hopefully this warms you up. Sitting in a log cabin in the Georgia mountains with a beautiful fire and a glass of wine as the sun sets. No kidding - that is what I really am doing at this moment and loving it.

It was cold, but the company was warm and loving....

In the wind today, I noticed birds gliding on the air currents....looked like such a wonderful thing to be able to do! Wouldn't it be a great way to get from one place to another.....

I had a wonderful day today. I do pet therapy visits for children when they give depositions for abuse. I took my dog Luca today and a young girl told me that she was afraid to come, but after spending time with my dog she wasn't afraid any more and he made her feel very brave. She said that he told her she would be okay. I never heard him say a word but I know that he is very wise and a wonderful patient, sweet dog so I am sure he told her something. The most important thing, and the reason I do this, is that that little girl left feeling better and safer than when she arrived. Sometimes it feels good to know you make a difference in this world, one person at a time.
