A positivity and life appreciation thread. Share three things that make you happy today, and any day you need a boost.
1. Finally caught up with work 2. The kids are eating well 3. My sister got a new job

1. The way my dog buddy's ears perk up and she races across the yard to give me a kiss whenever she sees me, which she did just an hour or so ago when I went out to get my mail and she was patrolling for squirrels.
2. I finally got my tax documents together and mailed them to the accountant (although for some reason, it required considerably more swearing this year than usual).
3. I got some really, really yummy seedless red grapes at the grocery store yesterday -- on sale for half the usual price.

- I had the day off (because midterms) - The judge announced DH's (preliminary) settlement. Still 2 years to go but he is on our side. - I went to dinner with a friend at the local Indian and ate an ENTIRE cheese naan.

Great topic! 1. Turned out that the weird behavior of my GPS was cured with a software update- I don't need to replace it. (It wasn't updating my location, so as I got closer to me destination it kept delaying the arrival time, thinking I was stopped at my origin.) 2. Had lunch yesterday with the guy I'm dating and he was happy to get the issue of The Economist I'd gotten at the airline club last weekend (multiple copies on the shelves, no request to leave them in the Club). It's hard to find someone else who can engage in an animated conversation about the implications of Brexit and is cuddly, too. 3. It's raining today- but it's not snow. And the big things are going well, too!

1. Miss M's getting into everything translated into her finding my BC pills that had gone missing. 2. I found some DMC thread that I can use so I don't have to use kreinik threads that fray every 1.34 milliseconds 3. My ILs are freaking awesome.

1. My eye lid is healing fine according to the doctor. 2. My sump pump is running about every 25 to 30 seconds so my basement is dry. It's not raining. 3. The 2-3 inches thick ice on my sidewalk is slowly melting. Still not down to where I can chip at it.

1. I had enough vacation time saved that I could take off the afternoon today and tomorrow to enjoy our random spring like weather with DH over margaritas.
2. I have enough money that the new cell phone I bought today, which is likely more a want than a true need, isn’t putting me in the poor house.
3. DH and I are going to visit my grandparents this weekend to help my grandpa celebrate his 95th birthday!!

I got enough interesting stuff to keep me busy at work today.
My husband took the boys to swimming lessons.
I came home to a message on my home phone, from a place i interviewed for, to call back instead of a thanks, but no thanks. I'm hopeful! Will it be for a second interview? It wasn't the kiss off, so maybe!

1. First night tent camping with the wee ones was a success. 2. Enjoying some nice warm coffee. 3. DH's bonus was larger than the balance on my student loans. Not paying them off, just feels nice to know that if we did we wouldn't even feel it.
