Practicing gratitude means recognizing the good that is already yours. ~ Alan Morinis Week 1, Day 3 in “Every Day, Holy Day” #mussar #everydayholyday #gratitude

The Hebrew term for gratitude translates as “recognizing the good.” Awaken to the good and give thanks. #everydayholyday #mussar #personalgrowth #ethicalliving #gratitude #forgood #alanmorinis

Where is the outrage that gas prices haven’t gone down and egg prices are thru the roof - higher than ever? Weren’t those supposed to be “quick wins” for the new circus? 🫠🫠🫠

In 1974, I started kindergarten. My mom made this for me for my crayons & scissors in. I still have it. I still use it. I wouldn’t get rid of it for the world. Now I use it for my glasses case, contact lens case & travel contact lens solution. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 #nostalgia #memories #handmade #treasures #momlove

People don’t have to think like me or act like me for me to like them. Pass it on.

I hope I commit the “sin of empathy” every single day of my life. And if I go to hell for being empathic, so be it.

Meanwhile in South Florida…. Today’s high will be 74. #illbehere #winterinsouthflorida #florida #winter #cubanbuttercup #yellow #flower #floral #backyard

31 seconds of trying NOT to fall asleep. Won’t lie down. Basically, dogs are toddlers. #fomo #frenchielife #notaleeping #cafecitoelperrito

Cafecito approaches every bowl of food with contempt and distrust. I don’t know why. He’s eats better than a lot of people do. Bless him. #frenchielife #extralikeguac #cafecitoelperrito #blesshisheart #spoiled #micorazon

All is right with the world. Cafecito’s favorite blanket is finally out of the dryer. #frenchie #frenchielife #letsleepingdogslie

At bedtime, I give my dog a couple of small “bed snacks”. Now, he will get on the bed and bark at me from the bedroom when he wants a snack. #extra #frenchieproblems #snaxx #cafecitoelperrito

Love me or hate me. It’s really your choice and doesn’t have much to do with me. You get to decide! A mi no me importa mucho. It would be nice to be loved, but it’s not required!

Lying in the shade Eating potato salad Naked as when born #dailyhaiku #bare #trees #picnic #silliness #literally #badpoetry Don’t unfollow me. This is all I could come up with today! Bless my heart! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s a really nice day! Life is good! I feel really good today. #lifeisgood #happiness #joy #smile #optimism #betterme #healthier #selfimprovement #grateful

I went to my first salsa dance class in a year. With all the work I’ve done over the past year and since the bariatric surgery, I am a different person. I took classes for 3 years as a “fat girl”. And it was HARD. Tonight, I wasn’t the fat girl. I was just a person dancing. It was wonderful.

Even at almost 56 yo, things my mom said to me when I was a pre-teen and teen ring in my head. I’m working to silence that voice. She did the best she could. But she was wrong. And it has had an impact since. No more. I’m learning to let go of those words that do not serve me. #growth #forgiveness

BREAKING — Joe Biden has pulled off the impossible: positive job growth EVERY SINGLE MONTH of his presidency. The last negative month was the last full month of Trump’s first term, December 2020.

Seeing Brooke Shields with wrinkles makes me feel better about my own wrinkles. Women are allowed to age. #aginggracefully #wrinklesarereal #cbssundaymorning #brookeshields #over50
