A Pick Me Up

Don’t you love a pick me up to a blah day? I just got a FaceTime call from my 13 year old niece, Amyra, and what a nice pick me up that was! Something about talking to innocent, sweet faces makes my heart happy. I am definitely not a FaceTime talker otherwise though. I never get the angle right so as to not look like a weird creature. But little kids don’t care. What was your last pick me up to a blah day?

I got a call from my best friend that had some good news. Her son is back to normal now. He got ran down by a car when he was trying to help his friend change a tire. He had some surgeries and now he is back to normal. He's 21 years old.

That is wonderful news! I can’t imagine how scary that must have been.

Your FaceTime certainly was a pick-me up and I'm sure Amyra didn't care if you were holding the phone perfectly. My pick-me up today was getting a text with some video and pictures of the renovations my son and daughter in law are doing on their house.

They must be looking forward to getting those done, and being able to show you in person.

@AmbiePam I'm looking forward to visiting and seeing what they've been doing. But, I'm happy to wait until it's all finished and not while everything is a mess and a work in progress.

My great granddaughter has been calling me every day. It's such a blessing and a pick me up. I love it when she tells me she loves me. My heart just sings.

Even though I was disappointed that my husband wasn't coming home today, it's always a pick-me-up when I talk to him. Have a good day.

Linda, in my mind I’m giving you a huge hug, and I just want you to know you are loved, loved, loved. And that sweet husband of yours is being covered in prayers.

Nico having a really good pee! Strange to say that, but he doesn't want to drink much water which leads to problems. So glad you got to talk to Amyra.

There is a new small park in our downtown. I had an errand to do downtown the other day and I thought while I was there, to check out the new green space park. It was very pretty. It uplifted my spirit.

What a little sweetheart to facetime you on a spur of the moment like she did. I feel like she has the generosity and kindness of the average 25 people all rolled into one beautiful young girl. Last evening I heard that familiar ring on my phone that indicates a facetime request, and it was our son. It was fun just him and Dad and I chatting. It did my heart good. I love the girls and their Mom, but they were gone for a walk, talking with Jonathon (L'il J as we like to call him) just us and him.

I am glad you had such a nice pick me up, I suppose something or another the cats did. Nothing much else goes around here,

That would have been such an uplifting talk. Have just watched a little kid on TV cheering her Dad on in the tennis. She was so excited it did my heart good just to watch her.

Glad you had a sweet conversation with Amyra. My phone is old, so it doesn't have the facetime feature, which is fine with me. I wouldn't use it. The other day when Mike began to scratch my back and say thanks for getting the yard mowed. It's the little things.
