Sunny days! Having more energy and accomplishing more.

Fresh air. Outside and in the house.

Lunch with my dear friend on Sunday.

Seeing her again on Tuesday for a shopping trip. Laughter and a few good finds. I have really missed her!

My pretty crocuses spinging up from the ivy. Loving the color!

The sound of the birds that never gets old.

Longer daylight. Makes the day feel so much more real.

My daughters beautiful smile.

A new little car that I got SUCH a good deal on. Such a good car. I like zipping around in it.

My brother and the nice chat we had last night. I sure do love him.

Setting limits with people. Even if the other person doesn’t realize you have done it, it helps you not feel taken advantage of.

Sunny Good List

by Diane on March 2, 2011

Feeling Spring approaching

An inpromtu walk with my mom’s dog yesterday.  He just cracks me up and it was just beautiful outside.  We both enjoyed.

The many ways he shows me he loves me.  Such a big baby!

My step-dads eye surgery going perfectly

Having just the right amount of time yesterday to get all I needed done and not feel rushed

Finding time to do things just for ME when I can and what a difference it makes.

Not taking on other people’s ‘stuff’.  Getting so much better at that!

Thinking back to last year at this time and seeing how much I have grown.  Amazing!!

How beautiful my daughter looked after getting her hair done and put on a lovely dress, makeup, new shoes…to go to a school dance.

The beautiful smile she had while being so excited and having a wonderful time.  The whole evening went perfect and I am so happy for her.

Helping people in small ways that make a big difference.
