It is a cool, happy, and wonderful Saturday my friends, how are you all?
I am enjoying this day; first because the trash of the neighbors are placed in the designated area far from where we positioned the ‘painting’ that I made yesterday. I went to the gate this morning and checked who were going to throw their garbage. A woman saw me looking at her; she threw her garbage putting her 2 plastic bags inside a sack far from our gate.
Second, my sister although complaining (as always of difficulty of swallowing and nagging dry cough), was not in her (usual) ranting mode.
Third, my son successfully started on the generator. We tell him that the newly-fixed generator should be switched on once a week so it can function always.
Those can be considered ordinary things that may be left alone without appreciation, but I feel this is a good day to voice out my emotion of positivity.
Do you consider little things that would mean a lot? I do!

@mlgen1037 when we went to church yesterday and even in the Japanese restaurant, neither of us with my son commented on her not coughing, therefore, we both came to a conclusion that she coughs only when she needs to, to attract my attention.
did you notice her in the pictures in the Jap resto? she looks strict, right?

@ridingbet not sure but perhaps you can say, you are easily pleased? Would that work?
Anyway, this is a good trait. People who see the good in even the smallest things are generally more satisfied with their life.

positive thinking is what we need in situations when our emotions are compromised.

Little things can really add up. As to your sister's dry cough, she may need to sip on some herbal tea. Perhaps with mint leaves. I imagine a lemon drop is good to suck on at times to keep the throat from drying out. Is the generator for the electricity? Glad you got that working in any case.

i hope they continue obeying the warning sign you put up. if they go back to their old habit, can you report them?
why do you have a generator?

my big brother bought the generator several years ago because he is worried if we have no light during blackouts. the generator is useful for us. when lawin caused floods and our basement was filled with rain water, the generator did thos hosing out of the water.
yes, and with the 'fake' CCTV mounted on a tree facing the gate, the hard-headed neighbors should think they are caught on camera when the light is on (the CCTV lookalike).

indeed, we have to smell the scent of flowers in our garden, literally. these are little things worth appreciated.

thank you. the generator is good, i hope my son will switch it on every week. it will entail more money if it is not functioning again.
