I got this idea from Chris's "vent" thread. Let's all keep a running tally of three good things that happened to us today. I'll start. Its pretty early yet in the day, but let's see...

I had a bunch of real good laughs at the antics of my new pup, Ginny.
April (my horse) came over and snuffled in my ear and I gave her some loves.
I caught little Phaeri out of her house and in her waterer.

Ok it's your turn.

My son had a great soccer practice.
I burned calories scrimmaging against 9yr olds.
My dogs didn't eat 3 sandwiches I left on the counter as I walked outside:)

I like this! I think we forget to focus on the good to attract the good, so yay, great thread!

My three:
I woke to a new day in my life.
I scratched one of our cats and managed to witness 3 areas of his mouth drip drool in approval.
I found this thread during a stressful ordeal with my husband who I'm in the middle of a 1.5 year divorce from...it helped remind me where I should be focusing :)

This is a great thread.
I woke to my coffee being made for me by my husband
Dunkin donuts sitting on the counter
An Air Show jet flying by my house, and with the Blue Angels coming later.
I love the loud sound they make:D

I did some lovely pieces at the studio with great feedback.
I helped a friend out with a really good chat,
Have spent a nice evening with the other half and the torts in the garden with a BBQ :)

Woke up with a job today :D

Had a misunderstanding with my Mom AND made up all within an hour
(we are both stubborn so usually a day goes by before we share a meal of eating crow with each other and make up--so dumb, but not today).

My son and his cousin are staying home with me today and I get to hear them laughing and having a good time, which are the best sounds ever...hahaha (usually he scoots off with a friend to their house for teenage video game marathons....)

Somebody surprised me with some coffee at work when it is much needed

My friend made me lunch today, a delicious tomato basil bisque

It's so nice outside, our ER is empty! Gives me some TFO time :)

I accomplished a lot of cleaning out kitchen cabinets today (getting a whole new kitchen..knocking down walls too)

The sick little box turtle that someone gave me finally opened her eyes today and they are not as swollen.

Bella, my sweet little Yorkie finally ate from her bowl on the floor. She came to me petrified of everything and wouldn't eat. I had to hand feed her, and hold her 24/7

A VERY good day for me.

My eldest passed her A levels with flying colours and got a place at the University she wanted :)

My youngest got a grade B is in his AS Level English literature... a year ahead of most students ... so he did actually do some revision! (Let's hope his GCSE grades next week are as good) :)

The sun came out in the UK... and it's been 31C (just under 90F) today :)

(Not so good is the reason I'm awake after midnight... it's still 19C (66F) "feels like" 25c (77F) with 83% humidity. I wish I had air conditioning so I could sleep!)

I did a monarch butterfly, fairly big on a guys forearm, came out beautiful. A few other little odds and sods, and a cover up that was "uncover able". Also took some really good bookings for today :)

Hmmmm....

1. I sat in a beautiful hot tub in our beautiful new house and realized I won't be homeless in 1 week.

2. I enjoyed time with my teenage daughter with no cell phone interruption from her 1.2 million friends for at least 10 min. :D

3. I realized today as I was on the highway that though it is simple, and not very expensive, I do indeed drive my dream car and I am thankful to have it.
