For me today there are more than three things so I am feeling good 1. My friend has just become a first time grandmother to a little boy Yacub - Congratulations to all 2. My daughter got an excellent first grade mark for an essay she done. - Well done darling 3. My Dad is more comfortable after having an op on Friday. - Big hugs of love The sun is shining, my firm have told me they are going to sort out my pay (they messed up of Christmas period)and received a free childrens book in the post instead of bills. So please share all the good things you have experienced today just the good not the bad, lets be happy and not sad :D

I haven't been asked to be but I am sure whoever they choose would have to be a believer though as both parents and grandparents have strong faith, so someone like myself. Oh I bet you can't wait til June. I never found out with my children I wanted them all to be a surprise

There is only an hour and a half into my new day today but I will list 3 things that are good for me today so far. 1. I am able to get my laundry done because my washer and dryer still work properly. 2. My husband and I still love each other. 3. I still have my home and we are able to pay our bills and have some money to go get some food later today. I am very thankful for all of those things because alot of people do not have any of that. ~Amen~

You are very welcome ellie. I am so very thankful for my husband and my daughter every day and my home and everything we own. Never a day goes by that I do not give thanks for all of it. It can be so easily taken from us.

Going for a one and a half hours walk, I love walking, love the exercise and appreciating nature by walking in the countryside. Being happy and single that is a great positive thing for me which I appreciate every day, I used to take being single for granted I don't any more. I have got my beloved retreat to look forward to, I go away for a long weekend on Thursday so that is keeping me very happy, positive and upbeat!

You sound so very content, really pleased you are at such a special place and so happy. It is always good to have something to look forward to. I am also looking forward Thursday as going to visit my eldest daughter for a couple of days. Enjoy your long weekend Ellie :)

I'm struggling to think of 3 things anywhere as nice as yours but you said to be positive so here we go: 1) I'm thankful that I had a good night's sleep and woke up refreshed and ready to face the week at work without feeling tired (or grumpy LOL) 2) I'm thankful that I have a job to go to that pays me well and that I enjoy and that I have a lovely boss and lovely colleagues to spend such a large part of my week with 3) I'm thankful that even thought it was quite cold, it was not icy this morning so I didn't have to spend ages defrosting my windscreen (yes I'm also grateful that I have a car that I can drive to work in and not have to wait ages for a bus or train in the cold) Happy Monday to one and all. x

1. I started a new class at college, which I suppose is two good things in one, ended my last class, which I hated, and started a nice, easy class. 2. My new rats are loving their new home, my boyfriend and I went out yesterday and got them some new toys and other things that they needed, like a second floor that attaches to the cage we have, and a new sturdy food dish that they can't flip over. Although they are doing some redecorating, they have stopped sneezing a lot mess, due to some new bedding we picked up, and they are a lot more active! 3. I learned that I got a A in my psychology class I just finished, which means I pulled up my previous grade from a C to an A. I am trying to keep a 4.0 average,it's been one semester and two months, and each month you take 1-2 classes. So far I am maintaing my 4.0, and i'm on the deans list. That makes me VERY happy!
