The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Saturday Gratitude... Posted by Joan on 10/11/2025, 6:55 am

Saturday Gratitudes Posted by Delta on 10/11/2025, 3:37 pm, in reply to "Saturday Gratitude..." My son's family landed safely in Florida last night, only a little over an hour late. Between a Nor'easter in the area they were going, a holiday weekend, and air traffic control being short-staffed, it was not as bad as it could have been. Dog sitting. We have one all black and one all white Schnauzer this week. They are so cute together. They are 1 month apart in age and love to play with each other until they drop, nap and start again. We laugh at them all the time. I think being here helped my cousin. She has her daughter to help her out at home but wouldn't let us do anything for her that she could do herself, not to mention that just going to the bathroom took all of her 50' cord. She can go all over her house from the center and not use half her cord. She went home and has been on the go all week doing more than she ever did before she came down here. Grateful that it helped her. Beautiful fall weather this weekend. We had flooding while we were gone, we needed water, the Mississippi is still very low, but I am glad to see the sun again and enjoy the fall-like temps instead of the 90 we were having and are headed back to in a few days. We don't have to move yet. I am sorta excited about getting a new place but NOT about moving, even getting professionals to move us, it will still be stressful.

sounds like Posted by Cindyh on 10/12/2025, 12:44 am, in reply to "Saturday Gratitudes" You had a wonderful visit!! That’s great Delta.

Delta Posted by Joan on 10/11/2025, 4:23 pm, in reply to "Saturday Gratitudes" I never thanked you for your generous comments to my post about the differences in how water tastes to me. You are so thoughtful! I'll be glad when our temperatures wave farewell to the 90s. Enough is enough!

My five… Posted by Cindy on 10/11/2025, 11:03 am, in reply to "Saturday Gratitude..." 1. Quiet Saturday mornings. I got up for my Weight loss groups Zoom meeting at 7:30 and then am in bed right now drinking coffee, watching tv and posting on the big blue board. Ken and the dogs are still asleep. 2. My Weight loss zoom meeting. Love my little group. There are 6 of us. 5 women and one man who all met through the Zoom weight watcher meetings during Covid and decided to continue meeting after they stopped the online zoom meetings. 3. Everything for our Disability Mentoring Day is coming together. It will be held on Wednesday the 15th! 4. Getting 3 more paid holidays at work off with pay. Found out this week we will be off on Monday for Indigenous People/Columbus Day. I will take it! I love my 3 day weekends! 5. This day and all it has to offer. God is good. Love you ladies!!

How fun Posted by Cindyh on 10/12/2025, 12:42 am, in reply to "My five…" this is so awesome Cindy! So proud of the job you do!! Seems like your weight loss group meetings are coming faster and faster?!?! How. Time is not nice

Cindy Posted by Joan on 10/11/2025, 4:14 pm, in reply to "My five…" Wednesday the 15th is going to be so awesome for those you help, and for those who agree to mentor! You are so wonderful to do the job you do, although it's not so much a job as a ministry. Blessings, Cindy!

100% on the paid holidays Posted by Krista on 10/11/2025, 12:29 pm, in reply to "My five…" We have Monday off for Thanksgiving, Nov 11 for Remembrance Day, and we just had Sep 30 for Truth and Reconciliation (Indigenous People as well)

Cinq Choses Pour Moi Posted by Krista on 10/11/2025, 9:24 am, in reply to "Saturday Gratitude..." 1) positivity that OVERFLOWS from Joan's posts every single time 2) Cindy for posting motivational posts and jokes to start our days. You are appreciated! 3) Thankgiving Dinner at my Dad's today with Paul, Aunt Margit and Ray. They are getting it from a local restaurant (take out) - still turkey dinner but our first time trying it. I'm sure it will be awesome! 4) Thanksgiving Dinner at Ray's sister Jane's tomorrow. No one there know about my surgery but I'm thinking they won't notice me taking smaller portions and not having dessert. It's always a fun afternoon with them! 5) Ray who works non-stop here at home. He is building a permament add on to the hot tub area from the door to the tub. We used to "tarp it" but this is built with a roof. He continues to amaze me!

You're so kind... Posted by Joan on 10/11/2025, 4:09 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" to mention my posts! Thank you! I had to reread your gratitudes about Thanksgiving. I love the feast of Thanksgiving, and the Gospel for this weekend at Church is about being thankful! I'm already looking forward to our Thanksgiving.

It always…. Posted by Cindy on 10/11/2025, 10:49 am, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" Throws me when you talk about Thanksgiving in October!! Have a great time with your family my friend!! I can’t remember if you have told me…did you ever tell your dad and Paul that you had your surgery??

I did Posted by Krista on 10/11/2025, 12:27 pm, in reply to "It always…." I waited until I got home but I told them when we got home. They know but my Aunt Margit doesn't so we shan't be saying anything at either dinner

Five for me... Posted by Joan on 10/11/2025, 6:57 am, in reply to "Saturday Gratitude..." 1. Good report from my Dexa scan this week. Spine measurement was actually better! 2.

Love that show. 5. FSF family and friends! I pray for all of you, your families, your friends in my daily prayers... and thank you for praying for me! Maintenance is a forever endeavor!
