Good Saturn's Day, my Friend

Welcome to the WeeeeekEnd

I hope you are doing well and feeling fine

I hope the things I've found to share

Will brighten your day

Perhaps be a springboard 

For your own explorations!

I wish you a Gorgeous Saturday and Sunday!

Peace and Love,

Welcome. my Friend! 060119

Welcome Friends!

Happy SATURDAY!!!

And

Welcome to JUNE!

I am so glad you are here

I think the things I've brought to share

Will be a real benefit to your life

My plan for THE GOOD STUFF

Is to post to it every Saturday

Making this a Weekly blog

My Plan for AOM MD

Is to post to it Monday - Friday

Making it more of a Daily blog

So we will continue with AOM MD

And now 

We've added a Saturday blog here at TGS

I hope they will all be beneficial to you

~*~

Gratitude Journals

We have completed our two week experiment

Writing in them each day

I hope you are benefiting from them

I read in a recent article

That suggested

That rather than write in them daily

( As that might cause fatigue )

So it would be better to write in them

TWO TIMES A WEEK
I think that will work better  for me

So play around with it and see what suits you

It is SOOOOOO

IMPORTANT

To live gratefully

So find what works for you

I hope you will continue your 

GRATITUDE JOURNAL

I hope you will enjoy your visit

I wish you a Gorgeous Saturday, my Friend

Peace and Love,

Phil

Thank you for being here with me

I really appreciate you following me here

It is my greatest hope and greatest joy

To bring things to you

Let us TUNE IN to ourselves

Before (or after) we tune into the World

We have some really good things today

Some "Really Good Stuff, Maynard!"

(from the Dobie Gillis Show - I remember : )

We have a TEDX talk

It is truly an amazing talk

I found it to be most beneficial to my life

We also have a FIERY DANCE

SO COOL!

Plus we have some other very lovely things

To add to our lives

GENTLE REMINDER

~*~

OH!

Yesterday was Tom Daley's Birthday 

Happy Birthday to TOM!

Welcome, my Friend! 052119

Welcome, Friends!

I hope you are doing well and feelin' fine!

I am so glad you are here with me

I hope the things I share today will

Brighten Your Day

And

Refresh Your Spirit

I'm still trying to work out how much to post

I have so much good stuff to share

But I don't want to overwhelm you

Or underwhelm you each day

It's part of the fun of creating a new blog

Like painting a new canvas

If you have any suggestions

Don't hesitate to let me know

Here's our reminder to do our

Gratitude Journals
I missed it yesterday morning
But I did get to it yesterday afternoon
What's really cool
Is going back and reading previous entries
Remember to take time to FEEL what you are grateful for

I hope you will enjoy your visit

I wish you a Beautiful Day

Peace and Love,

Phil

Welcome, my Friend: 052019

Welcome, my Friend

Happy Monday to you!

I hope you had a lovely weekend

Mine was very nice

Had steak, potato and salad

With my folks on Saturday

They bought a smokeless grill

And just HAD to use it

I have no objections

Bring it on!

We must perfect our grilling!

:  )

Today we have some dancing hands

A little Walt Whitman

I mean a small portion of his writing

Not an actual little Walt Whitman

That would just be weird

LOL

(Sorry - me being silly again

It's a line from the series, Miranda

A great BritCom on Hulu)

And

We also have

TOM DALEY

Yeah! 
He's in the house!

Woooo Hooooo!

~*~

Just a reminder

For those of you doing

Gratitude Journals

We are up to day 5 in our two week experiment

Anyone can join in at any time

(Link to the instructions on the sidebar---------------->

Super Easy and Simple

Yet can be significantly beneficial

TRY IT! YOU'LL LIKE IT!

:  )

If you are looking for something to binge on HULU

I highly recommend

Miranda and her crazy family and friends

Have kept me in stitches all weekend

On HULU now

~*~

You might notice I am playing around
With names for our new blog
Not sure yet - just gotta play a bit
To find what feels right
What this blog is all about
Playing with the idea of calling our new blog
Up

~*~

I hope you will enjoy your visit

And that something I've posted

Will Brighten your Day

I wish you a most Grateful Day!

Peace and Love to You,
Phil

Welcome my Friend! 051919

Welcome and Namaste, my Friend

Happy Sunday!!!

I am SOOO Grateful you are here

THANK YOU!!!

For visiting our Garden

I really appreciate your comments and E-mails

It really Energizes me

When you let me know you visit

As you know I rarely post on weekends

Because I need some time to go away

Find really cool stuff

To bring back to you 

But

I did want to make sure

We got our Gratitude Journals started off right

We are in day four of our two week experiment
In our Gratitude Journals
We write three good things that happened to us yesterday
And then write a short explanation
As to why they are personally important
The key is to FEEL the gratitude
And
Write in our journals every day

I decided to go electronic with my journal
Here's the app I am using called Journaley
It's an older app - not sure it is around anymore

I hope you will remember your Gratitude Journals today

LOOKIE LOOKIE
Here's what my back fence looks like

And the intoxicating aroma
Brings back memories of childhood
Picking the flowers, pulling out the stamens
And tasting the sweet drop of nectar
I have a very vivid memory of doing this
I was seven years old, spring semester of first grade
School would soon be out
And all us first grade kids were at recess
Hanging out near the fence
Harvesting and tasting the Honeysuckle
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

I hope you will enjoy your visit

I wish you a most beautiful day

Peace and Love,
Phil

Welcome My Friend! 051819

Goooood Saturday to you!

Happy Saturday!!!

WOW!

Been awhile since I've posted on the weekend

It is a nice change of pace for me

I hope it is for you, as well.

The main reason for posting this weekend

Is to remind us

To write in our Daily Gratitude Journals

I've updated the instructions a bit

If you want to read them, here is the link:

Daily Gratitude Journal Instructions

I've asked that we try this for at least TWO weeks

 I do hope you will continue writing in your

DAILY GRATITUDE JOURNAL

If you haven't started

Start Today!

If you missed a day

Pick up where you left off

From what I've read

Keeping a Daily Gratitude Journal

Can be significantly  beneficial to your life

The two keys are:

REALLY FEEL THE GRATITUDE

and

WRITE EACH DAY

I mean, it's not much work

Just

Write Three Good Things that happened yesterday

And give a short explanation as to why

They were personally important to you

And Feel the Gratitude in each thing

That's it

Something so easy and simple

Yet can be significantly beneficial to our lives

I hope you will enjoy your visit

Have a SUPER DUPER SATURDAY, my Friend

Peace and Love to you,

Phil

Welcome and Namaste, my Friend

Just a few posts to start our day

I like to think of us sitting around our kitchen table

With a cup of Tea or Coffee

And before we tune into the world

We tune into ourselves first

That's what I'd like to create here

I hope you will pull up a chair and join in.

Thank you so much for being here with me

I wish you a Beautiful Day

Peace and Love to You
