All these grumpy, dour crime and disapproving, the-world-is-going-to-hell political posts on this forum are starting to make me crazy.

What's good? What is giving you hope, joy, and faith in the world and goodness of people lately?

Smile at little kids and the overwhelming majority of them smile back.

And my Goddess, of course.

And today my neighbor paid me back half of the $100 he owed me. That reinforces my faith in human nature.

Kidlet's on the way. That's about all I got for the moment.

What's good?
My memory of having a Sunday afternoon, spent with a couple friends, on a beautiful, sunny day... eating at Sea Salt and having no where else I had to or wanted to be.

Friends who cook me dinner.

Friends in general.

The fact that the sun is finally out and about again.

My first strawberry, grown in my very own garden.

Having time to iron my clothes in the morning.

New bedding.

I can keep going, but I think I might need to reserve some of the good things to ramble off at a later date.

Yesterday's and today's glorious weather - 2 gorgeous June days, back-to-back, and on a week-end so there is time to enjoy them.
Our gardens, which are firmly established now.
Home made potato salad!

Breakfast on Sat and Sunday mornings with a whole day to look forward to.

I have the day off today, a half day on Thursday and the day off on Friday. That, friends, makes this a 2.5 day work week. Holla! And I just inherited an iTouch from someone who upgraded to an iPhone. Awesome.
