My first highlight of the day was being able to go back to sleep after my husband left at 5a.m. No school for Amy today - it's election day and they use it for superintendent's day, since we vote at the schools.

You're too kind, Jiffy! Some days it really is difficult to find a highlight... but it's something I've never done before and really does help to keep things in perspective.

I took my dog for a nice walk today (beautiful here in Southern Ontario)...I turned around and there was my cat "Mojo" following us. He came with us the entire walk. I guess you hadta be there...but if u can picture my lil' guy trotting behind us the entire time. The look on his face said "Hey guys! Wait up! Where ya goin'? Wait for me!!!" Priceless! Christina

Hey, congrates on the weight loss Jiffy! That's the way to do it...slow, and it will stay off! I had a couple of highlights today... the first one was Peanut was outside with daddy...and he picked a pansey. Daddy told him "no no"...and he got the funniest look on his face...AND TRIED TO PUT IT BACK ON!!!! It was so funny because of his expression!!!! 2nd highlight was getting seeds in the mail...the columbines of Cedar Hill! Just made my day!

(he is mud colored, that's why i don't see a lot of him ~ he is hard to see!)

I love this thread.Just reading here always reminds me to count my blessings. I'm glad you're feeling better Sheri . The news lately about avian flu is really freaking me out. Has anyone read "The Stand" by Stephen King? I have to push myself anyway to not be a germaphob. sorry,I'm rambling.One of my highlights today. I've been workin' my bootie off trying to get the savings account up to par. But my girls need to have printer for school stuff.So we got a new one........only 50 bucks!and it's a scanner and copier too. yay.........this momma gets to make seed packages again.

I don't understand that ...I was talking to my mom about it today...how you can buy a new printer with ink for less than you can buy a color and black ink cartridge for it when it runs out.

I would love to be able to do everything I WANT to with the printer..but man...who can afford it!!! I would rather make all my greeting cards than buy them...but you can buy them so much cheaper!!! So...I wouldn't be able to use my printer at all right now if I didn't have a friend who GENEROUSLY sent me some ink cartridges!!!! But...trust me..I use them SPARINGLY!!!!

I have a Canon i350. It cost more $ but the cartridges are only about $8. Highlights for me... Going to mom & dad's for Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. Niece called me and asked my favorite color because she was making me my Christmas present.
Got the nicest compliment from a customer last weekend that made me cry. He asked me "do you know what I like about you?" I said nope. He said "everything". All because I didn't get grossed out by his skin graft scars on his hands. I just showed him mine:) His scars were from a burn but mine are from 2 of my fingers being grown together.
Oh and I enjoyed a nice drive home watching the sun go down through the clouds. Nancy

My highlight today...Peanut used a spoon ALL BY HIMSELF!!! BUT...the biggy was...we have been working with him forever...and the school has also since he started there. Wasn't gonna happen!!! We have tried EVERYTHING! So today, when the kids were all here for supper. He sat down at his table for his dessert (applesauce) which I always have to feed him...but forgot the towel so I laid the spoon down to get it. He picked it up...put it perfectly in his little hand..and scarfed down the whole bowl of applesauce! It was almost like he was "saving" it for EVERYONE to see!!! Needless to say...a full blown party errupted! He is such a sweetie! And he can use a spoon all by himself! Sniff sniff!

Um it's been awhile since I got on this string so I guess I'll add some highlights that have been occurring in my life recently. I joined a church and will be baptised on the 19th of November at 11:45a.m. you all are welcome to come. Or I'll tell you all about it afterwards.
I've been helping with the service work at the church and loving every minute of it. They are really nice people and do a great job of taking care of their members and people in need in the community.
So that's my highlight.
