A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
What is great about the search bar above is that you can put words you are interested in and choices of threads and articles pop up, just likd on google!
In the meantime, I am going to put up more twinklelights/movie:you've got mail.
We are just now watching a newer movie: " The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel " with Bill Nighy, Judy Dench, Maggie Smith.
Now here is a plan for a caregiver's compound/village/retirement resort, where everyone can go.
I have just jumped in with pretty good results. It's only lately on one thread my luck hasn't been so good. People have been great in giving me some names of other threads I am also interested in. I'll just keep posting wherever it makes sense to me. I do appreciate hearing from you and getting your advice. I hope you sleep well tonight.
I'm glad your husband has a pain management doc for his arthritis. He sure doesn't sound like a complainer, so it must help that you keep your eye out for his pain and any difficulties. Thanks for the tip on the "How are You" thread. I'll check it out.
Earlier we had a great thunderstorm and me and much of my extended family were all safe and sound and watching and listening to it. It was a beautiful sound.
The thump of a Labrador retriever's tail.
The purring and snuggling of a cat or kitten.
Baby animals.
Pamz, yes, I am going on a quest to find the hot springs anytime soon. A vacation, I think they call it, its been forever, over 10 years. I found the photo on istock photos, free.
It's pouring right now and I and much of my extended family are either inside or on the 2nd floor covered porch watching the thunderstorm!! So awesome! I'm thinking of your Dad right now. I'm fortunate that mine is still here. I believe his and my Mom's advancing years are the reason they arranged this vacation.
You are so right about "getting it out" on the whine thread. I have almost no where to vent, so I was occasionally venting there. Maybe I'll continue, I'm not sure...I'll just go with my needs and how strong they are. Thanks so much for writing! ;o)
Hey, did you also change you screen name?
You really have a fun yet wicked sense of humor!!
I don't know where the water in the hot springs is, nor how to get there!
I love your avatar, is that your pup?
Yes it is, ONLY now it is feet! Dog tired?
Recipe, tuna, correction,Packed in water.
Only now it is feet! Packed in water, really?
Once you change your avatar, it is changed historically in all the past posts. Who knows what you've said that changes the meaning with each change of the avatar/photo!
Colorsue, have you visited that thread yet? Gluttons, all of us. Maybe you have a favorite food? Put it here!
Spending time with nh twin grandsons ......vacation is coming soon so I can do that, roaming around in early am hours taking pictures of nature...all is good and peaceful.
Just get the black rasberry chocolate chip frozen yogurt, leave the rest!
And perhaps Stacey will tempt us even more by changing her avatar to a photo of the yogurt - then we're done for!
CentralMassach....black raspberry chocolate chip frozen yogurt?? OMG - that's got to be heaven for any chocolate lover! What brand is it and where to do you get it - grocery store? frozen yogurt stand?
Let's make it wandering through shallow waters, sipping on a black raspberry chocolate chip frozen yogurt while listening to classical music - that's got to be at the top of favorite things!
My mother wanted to come back as a hummingbird. We hung 5 hummingbird feeders out back, now every evening loads of them come by for a drink with me :)
Another one of my favorite things is star gazing... last nights spectacular was exhilarating!! Nice and dark so the stars were bright and truly felt one with the universe and felt at peace.
You are not the only one who has commented on what seems to be everyone's FAVORITE, the whine thread. You can post anywhere, say anything you want! Have you tried Caregivers & Dysfunctional Families, How are you? (Started by Cmagnum?) One of my favorite things is to welcome people wherever I see them. Everyone is sincere asking you to keep posting. So keep sharing, Colorsue! I try to check this post every time I am feeling unsettled or sad, or in a bad mood, hoping someone will have posted some good, even about the weather, plants, or, like I tried to put across earlier in this thread, even if we have a complaint or sorrow, turn it to positive. I am positive that I was in a bad mood today but reading the nice things people have said here has changed me to thankful!
Have a good night, Colorsue.
