Well, it's the end of the week! Time to record some optimism and list out some things that made me happy this week. Why don't you join in?
What are some things that made you happy or how did you turn
a sour situation around and make lemonade?
This week I'm happy because....
- I had a nice birthday! I did get that wish for a new camera! As soon as I figure out how to use it, I'll share some pictures!
- Harry got a 100% on his math worksheet. He's also doing vocal warm ups with the rest of the high school choir. I'm sure it's a site to behold...and hear! LOL!
- One of my girlfriends surprise me at my front door with a Panera muffin and some coffee. Awww...how sweet was that?!
- Although this has been a crazy, busy week, everything seems to have gone quite smoothly.
- All the beds have fresh sheets on them today.
- Alex gave me a kiss without me asking for it. (this one may be my favorite!)
wow you are having a great week then...glad you got your kiss...and coffee makes everything better...nice job on the 100%!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great list. I especially like the last item...it's always nice to get an unexpected kiss.
ReplyDeletelove #6...a hug from your son is the.best...glad you enjoyed your birthday!
ReplyDeleteNice list Betsy. Looking forward to your pictures. Good for both Harry and Alex! All-in-all a lovely birthday...
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. So many times we see the emptiness rather than the what we have....
ReplyDeletelove surprises....especially coffee!
so glad you got your camera and an unexpected kiss...love that. sounds like a great week for you!!!
xxoo
Betsy, I go with the others - the unexpected kiss is the best one :-) I'm sure we will get to see some great pictures soon :-) happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteUnexpected kisses...may I say they are the best!
ReplyDeleteYes, I would agree that kisses are the best...especially from my boy, Alex. He can't speak a word, but no words were needed were they? Aww.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like them ALL Betsy! I just might have to sneak in and watch Harry do his choir warm ups! HOW SWEET is that? Do you think he likes it?
ReplyDeleteKisses and fresh sheets AND a muffin? Sounds like a stellar week!
Sounds like you are having a wonderful week! Great list! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteJill ~ yes, do pop in and listen. The aides tell me he loves it...and usually starts the warm-ups AFTER the choir has finished...like a solo! LOL! You just have to laugh. :)
ReplyDeleteHalf Full Friday is my favorite My Five Men post of the week. It just tickles me and makes my day!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see some camera love! Enjoy the first weekend of fall!
ReplyDeleteAfter a long comment I get Service Unavailable...Error 503....darnit!

ReplyDeleteI'm loving everything about this post! Especially number 6. Melt my heart. <3
ReplyDeleteA belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'm glad it was fun for you.
ReplyDeleteAww...such a happy list!!! And that you had such a GREAT week!!! You deserve it!!!! ~Janine XO
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome week!! Clean sheets!! I hope to get that done tonight!
ReplyDeleteLovely list - I'll settle for clean sheets and a kiss. I got the flush mended on the loo (john!) - no more flushing with a bucket - hurray!
ReplyDeleteBetsy-what camera did you get?
ReplyDeleteAren't kisses like a balm that just soothes and lifts you up.
Was your birthday on my anniversary-the 21st?
Have a blessed weekend!

Glad you had a happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful week you are having. So glad you received that surprise kiss.
ReplyDeleteSnowbrush~ well, thank you! and thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteTogether we Save ~ hey...good luck with that laundry! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of half-full Friday! These days I think we all need to rethink the week and remind ourselves of the small things in life that really make the difference. Thanks for the reminder :)
ReplyDelete"Unsolicited sugars," that's what we call the kisses without asking... they are the best.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated BD!
It sounds like you had a GREAT week!
ReplyDeleteHere's to another.
Don't know how you manage to limit it to six as you must be one of the most optimistic "half full" people I have ever come across. Betsy, you are now my official role-model.
ReplyDeleteThose are great thing to be happy about....
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you had such a Great week last week. Doesn't this Friday post make you all positive, happy and ready for a great weekend?! I love it that you are doing this too!
ReplyDeleteI'm wishing you another wonderful one this week!
:-)
HUGS,
