So this is a thread for life’s little joys, things that cheer you up, unexpected blessings, anything. Because we get too much of what’s wrong.

We got an unexpected treat before Mass today. They had a string trio in playing Pachabel’s Canon in D. Very well done.
 
My colony of ruby throated hummingbirds put on quite the aerobatic display outside my sunroom windows this afternoon. How no-one gets a bent beak I’ll never know!

I’m glad the migration hasn’t started yet!

I already love this thread!
Outside my window brightly Rainbow Lorikeets are happily chattering to each other as they sip nectar from native flowers in the garden!

I love the little hummingbirds and the other birds as well, just knowing God made them for us!
 
It’s a real spring day today.

W had a huge unexpected blessing last week. My son had a car crash at 100km/hr and walked away from it, last week. He was back at work in 48 hrs, He did have some shock, as can be expected.

Praise and thank God.
 
A shock for your son and for you. Thanks be to God that he is okay.

He was in shock, i picked him up from the hospital, with his partner, we were all in shock. He was looked over by a doctor , took about 10 minutes, then left hospital. I was thinking, surely he needs obs or xrays, his partner was an emotional wreck.

We went to maccas and had late lunch! He ate!

God works in mysterious ways

Today will be my first day back to work in several months! I start teaching at Holy Cross High School!
 
I found some tiny flowers that look like daisies, and daises are my favorite flowers. They’re so simple yet so beautiful. Also, it rained! Where I live we need it badly so its such a blessing
 
First day at Holy Cross…the BEST first day in over twenty years of first days teaching! I wish I had explored the private school route a long time ago!

Missed my Hummies though…

Humming birds rock.

Children playing together after mass often cheers me up. They are just so joyful and innocent. Reminds me of heaven somehow.

I supervise recess at an elementary school. Seeing the smiles of the students as they play brings joy to my heart.
 
My favorite was when I worked at a catholic school cafeteria. It was during lent, and some of the younger children (in the artless way children of that age) would say “does anyone want my dessert? I gave chocolate up for lent.”
 
I💟 when my older kids bring me a surprise from the store after an outing with friends, such as cookies or something that tells me they were thinking of me.
 
Cuddling with my cat in the morning after I wake up. No - she doesn’t wake me up, she comes to me after I wake up 😍
 
Autumn is here! I saw pumpkins outside for sale at a produce store. And acorns are dropping all over my deck–very noisily, I might add! But I love them, and always collect a bunch.
 
My squirrels are collecting the acorns for me. IT’s a shame they never remember where they bury them!
