I love your list of good things and could repeat many of them. My best thing is, that 5 weeks out, my right knee replacement feels so much better than before surgery that I look forward to getting my painful left knee done in Oct. PT and recovery is painful, but 6 weeks is a short time after a few years of painful knees. I look forward to being able to walk around my yard, in the woods, on the beach, and other places without constant pain. HOPE and joy.

I hope you and Steve get through this sickness quickly. As you say, even though Covid is still happening, so are so many other good things!

Concerts for a Cause are still happening.

Sharing the plate with charities is still happening at UUCB.

Chocolate chip cookies are still happening, at least at my house!😁🍪🍪

Kind and good neighbors are still happening.

Thanks for the reminder to look for kindness and gratitude.

Get well!💕Irene

Love all those good happenings! All so true! I just had a chocolate chip cookie at lunch time. Somebody brought it to our house along with other food. It might have been you, it might have been someone else...I have lost track of all the good things!!! We feel so lucky and blessed.

The snow is melting, and the flowers are still happening. Birdsong is still happening.

Wow! Grandbabies still happening! Congrats! So exciting! And the other things, too. I will add these to the post I just released. (Sorry I didn't see these until now.)

I hope you're feeling much better. And I hope Steve doesn't (or didn't) get the Covid. It's certainly still around, but not as bad as it was. Take care of yourself.

Well, Steve now has a fever, as of a couple of hours ago. Of course he does. But we have a refrigerator full of soup. And, starting tomorrow, I can venture forth wearing a mask. So we will pull through! Thanks for your well wishes!

Live theater is still transporting me from these doldrums to delightful worlds and characters.

I enjoy the company of my fellow Rotarians - all good people from all walks of life who just want to do good where and when they can.

High school kids who help at the food pantry and our fundraising events for international causes.

Family members who are my best friends.

And the things that you have enumerated, too.

So much more...

Sorry to hear your Spring was interrupted by Covid but glad you’re recovering well. Hope it’s the same for Steve. My PCP recommended a second covid shot this season ( as did Walgreens) but I’ve yet to get it. Guess I’d better schedule it.

Take care and keep reporting on good things. I need almost daily reminders these days. Namaste

Neither Steve nor I have gotten that second booster yet. Now we'll have to check to see if we need it. Maybe we got boosted the hard way? I'll have to check into it.
