Stress seems to be the word of the day around here…I’m reaching for some gratitude
- Big Bang Theory- this show makes me laugh. I need laughter…
- David Wright- Our Captain made his final appearance last week. My daughter was wore “5” during her softball years…One of my all time favorite Mets
- About 14 years ago, I was in a department store with Husband, Daughter and MIL. As usual, my MIL was telling me how to do something and how I had to listen to her. While we were on a line to pay for something, and she kept hounding me and I kept, politely, telling her that I was going to do it my way, MIL asked the woman behind her on line- “Don’t you think my DIL should listen to me and do it my way?” to which the woman replied, “I think your DIL looks like a capable person and if it were me I would never tell her how to do anything. It’s up to her to make a decision on her own.” Which shut my MIL up but good. This is another person who I never got to properly thank, but I am eternally grateful to this woman who had my back even though she didn’t know me, just heard my MIL in action.
- handless tea mugs
- friends- I can not say enough how much my friends mean to me. When life gets crazy it’s good to know I have people who make me feel good and make me laugh
- subways running on time
- “A Star is Born” soundtrack- seriously in my head
- ease depositing checks in an ATM
- nice October weather
- buying tickets for things in advance
Interesting that you remembered something from so long ago. It must have made an impression with you. Enjoy your weekend.

I remembered something from our store for 2 years before letting it go. I even tracked the progress of this customer just to see if life will bite them back and eventually it seems it did. A lesson learned: payback does happen and sometimes it is best to move on.

I do believe that if a person is not open to you or able to show empathy: this will follow them in other situations. And in this case, it did and eventually her store closed and now they are unable to sell an overpriced lot.

So nice when people can help and make an impression with a few kind words, she didn’t even get nasty. Wonder if it made as much an impression on your MIL as it did you?

Interesting about deposit checks at ATM….they got rid of the envelope here and yesterday I deposited a check like that for the first time. Receipt had a scanned image on it. 😉

I have to remind myself of the things I need to be thankful for too, on occasion. Big Bang Theory is also one of them. 🙂 We recently discovered this show, which is great, because there are now years-worth for us to watch. Happy day! 🙂

#3 – 👍🏽
#8 – I can’t remember the last time I deposited a check. 🤔 My bank lets me do it online. You just take a picture through the app and voila, check deposited. ☺️

My bank probably does that too, but I almost never get checks, so this was a one off

Yeah….I get one probably once every few months. It’s quick and convenient though since you can do it in a few seconds and right from the comforts of your own home. 😌
