Welcome to my Friday feature! Created by the wonderful Meggy @ Chocolate ‘n’ Waffles, it’s a remedy against feeling down by creating a list of all the good things happening in my life this week. I became so inspired by her weekly posts and later also that by Nickimags @ Secret Library Book Blog, I felt it was time to begin sharing my own good feelings. It can be anything, from the smallest gesture from a stranger to a major event in your life that alters the direction of your day. Maybe something here will bring a smile to you in the moment.
Woke to a gloriously beautiful morning!
My hydrangeas are in bloom!
One of my dear friends had emergency surgery on Sunday and came through wonderfully and is recuperating with a good prognosis. I was able to be there with her while in emergency and then overnight through surgery. I’m glad she let me help.
I used to carry a smile as a permanent set to my face. Somewhere during the last year I misplaced it. I saw it was missing and decided to put it back this week and the response from strangers was immediate, reminding me that what you put out into the world comes back to you in large bounty💜
-
- Took a break from packing up my mother’s house and feel revived!
- Deleted 11 episodes of a series I probably was never going to resume.
- My library continues to support my audiobook addiction by delivering on my recommendations as four came in this week!
- My older sister is getting a much deserved break the next few weeks as her grandson is visiting his father.
- My youngest sister is getting ready to embark on a cruise to renew her wedding vows on the occasion of her 5th anniversary. She changed her hair and it looks gorgeous!
This made my day again and I’m glad you had such a wonderful week! Those pics are gorgeous. It’s still raining here but I’m hoping for a sunny day tomorrow! I’m very happy your friend came through all right and congrats to your sister! 🙂
Thank you SO much, Amy! We had vicious storms yesterday so this was a nice surprise.
You had a great week Jonetta! Keep smiling!😁💜
Thanks, Susan! Your daily morning posts help get me started💜
Oh yay!! I just try to send a positive message each day in a world filled with too much hate!💙
Great post, Jonetta!
Thanks, Brenda!
Oh, I love how you look out onto all that lovely greenery, Jonetta. And Hydrangeas as well, lovely!
As always, we have a lot to be thankful for, the sun’s shining here, too. And we have a long weekend to look forward to, plus, a free concert up on the plains of Abraham. 4 hours of bands then fireworks, on Sunday! We are, indeed, lucky.
😂😂😂Alexandra, those are INDEED hydrangeas!!! I planted them over 15 years ago. Had a brain blip so thank you for that. I kept looking at the word rhododendrons and wondering why it bothered me😏
This is my view every morning from my reading perch. It just makes me want to get up everyday.
Oh, your weekend sounds fantastic! I adore outdoor concerts and fireworks are just a marvel. Thank you for sharing your thankfulness💜
Oh, I’m glad I’m not the only one who forgets flower names. 😉 And yes, we’re looking forward to a warm summery weekend of fun and music, the fireworks are just a bonus. This is our 4th July.
Sounds like a fab week. I had a great with family and friends over on holiday. I must write my post and relive it all.
Thank you💜 Can’t wait to read your post, Nicki!
A lovely post, Jonetta 💖 I love hydrangeas and have several myself. They’re such good value.
Thank you, Cathy💜 Blue Nikko is my favorite.
You’re such a good friend, staying and helping for your friend’s surgery <3
Waking up to beautiful mornings always help me start the day with a smile 🙂
I'm wishing your family the best <3 and I am sending you the biggest smile!!!

Thanks, Meggy💜 It was a great week.
You are such a loving friend and family member as evidenced by the way you share in their victories! Loving those hydrangeas! Happy weekend, my friend! ♥️
Thank you, Jennifer💜 You figured out that what makes me happy are my friends and family feeling joy. Have a wonderful weekend my dear friend😍
So happy you had a great week, Jonetta! I spent another busy fun filled week with my daughter, her husband, the twins, and my grandson, James. Went to the end of the year party at James’s pre-K and this weekend my daughter and my husband celebrate birthdays.
Wow, Marialyce! What blessings and reasons to celebrate💜 Do your grandchildren call you Yaya?
Yes they do!
And they call my husband Pop pop
Oh, I love that💕💕💕
Your hydrangeas are lovely, Jonetta! And I’m so glad your friend is on the road to recovery. Thank you so much for the weekly reminder to be grateful. The sun is finally shining here after an entire week of rain so I’m happy about that! Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you, Kris! Sorry for the late response as I got behind in my notifications. I hope you had a great weekend💜
No worries 😉
Such a great feature. Glad your friend is doing good after surgery. Wonderful pictures. Have a great week.
