Thank you for the prompt and thank you to all for contributing your positive thinking and good vibes. <br /><br />Despite the fact that we've had some winter-like conditions in New York (after a beautiful 70 degree day), the weather had MORE grossness for today... and instead, the sun has decided to grace us with its presence again. A bit cold still, but it's slowly melting the snow we received just last night. <br /><br />YAY for spring :)mypixiebloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09135461083810124483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184792681608290132.post-4489035263210652072011-03-24T10:24:55.445-07:002011-03-24T10:24:55.445-07:00I'm finally catching up on my reading but I do...I'm finally catching up on my reading but I do love this. So, even though it's Thursday already, I wanted to participate and say that I am grateful for the family time I've been having all week. I'm behind on everything else because of it, but I wouldn't trade the laughs and talks for anything right now. <br /><br />This is a beautiful, heartfelt post!

It's so...Kim, I am so glad you wrote this post. It's so important for us to find and focus on the wonderfully positive things that are happening out there. For me, these past few months have been a time of healing and moving forward, even though I'm moving forward into a lot of uncertainty. I know I can make a difference in the world around me. I'm focusing on being PRO things rather than against anything, like pro-animal rights rather than anti-animal cruelty. It's just a little shift in perspective but the little shift makes a huge difference to me.Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814989061078872030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184792681608290132.post-30226994742278081212011-03-21T22:40:06.037-07:002011-03-21T22:40:06.037-07:00You have such an awesome positive way about you - ...You have such an awesome positive way about you - it's bliss reading your blog.<br /><br />My happy place:<br />1.

I edit my news intake because I agree with you, it is all so sad. <br /><br />We celebrated my grandparents 68th wedding anniversary yesterday.<br /><br />I ran 6 miles on saturday for the first time in my training for first marathon ever.<br /><br />Read an article in The Times about a man going through the wreckage that used to be his home gathering rice for his family. He offered some to the author of the article even in his time of extreme need. <br /><br />Charity is in all of us, if we can just take a minute to share it. =)jenna mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012120782683737032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184792681608290132.post-41541238148362602012011-03-21T15:24:21.490-07:002011-03-21T15:24:21.490-07:00so many great things.

On the CBC a few weeks ago, they were talking about a newspaper that decided to publish GOOD news only for a day (they figured the bad news would still be there tomorrow). Wouldn't you have loved to read that paper?<br /><br />As for the good things that are happening for me right now:<br /><br />1. I think my antibiotics might be starting to work. My cough is maybe easing up a teeny bit.<br /><br />2.It's spring break! We might not be out doing something fun today like I wanted to, but at least we don't have to be anywhere. We can stay home and drink soup all day if we like.<br /><br />3. The cherry blossoms are starting to appear on the trees in our front yard. I love cherry blossoms.<br /><br />4. For Japan with Love has raised over $53,000! Wow. The goal was $5,500.<br /><br />5. My 3BT journal is filling up. I've written in it every day since January. It's great to read back over all the beautiful things that have happened since the beginning of the year (especially when I'm currently feeling so awful) It's a great mood-lifter.<br /><br />6. A well-stocked tea cupboard. I think I'll go make a pot right now.<br /><br />Happy Monday, Kim!Erin {pughs' news}https://www.blogger.com/profile/03261798020134673516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184792681608290132.post-57718509956765880562011-03-21T08:25:19.180-07:002011-03-21T08:25:19.180-07:00Dinner last night definitely makes the top of the ...Dinner last night definitely makes the top of the list :) The slower pace of life has been really good for me...to be able to stop and enjoy and do things that I've been wanting to do for so long. And hearing about all the people who are gathering together to help the people of Japan...it's so inspiring.
