In order to spread positive thinking, list three positive things of your day for five days in a row, and tag three people to do this meme.

1) Woke up to lovely soft rain and gentle thunder.

2) Fresh raspberries and blueberries in my breakfast bowl.

3) I read the first review of The Maze Runner movie and it was positive. (I loved the books and have been looking forward to this movie ever since I heard they cast Dylan O'Brien as the lead. Not that I watch Teen Wolf but at least as far as looks go, he fit the image I had in my head to a T.)

In order to spread positive thinking, list three positive things of your day for five days in a row....

Day 2...

1) This one is a "positive thing remembered from yesterday" more than today, but it's making me smile this morning so: our church is so large that it offers lots of small-group get-togethers that run each quarter, roughly. They run the gamut from spiritually-based topics to things like self defense martial arts or book clubs or golfing etc. I saw listed, for the first time since we started going, a "guitar jam session" group. I've been wishing, ever since I quit going to our old church where I was part of the music ministry, that I could get together with some good guitarists at our new church (because good gravy, there's some talent there). But of course, the whole breast cancer thing put everything on hold, plus... I just didn't know anyone, other than my exterminator, who plays and he does strictly bluegrass, which I already am pretty well versed at playing. It's fun when he's over to spray the house because afterward we usually pick up the guitars and "pick a little" but that's only like, twice a year at most and usually longer between than that. Anyway, I'm over all the surgeries now and playing a little, and then I saw that group and... I signed up before I could talk my introverted self out of it. *wipes sweaty palms on pj's* It's for beginner and intermediate guitarists--I'm intermediate at best and especially compared with the guy leading it, so hopefully I'll grow and learn as a musician. And make some friends. Big churches are nice as far as them having lots of ways to really do good things in the world but it's hard to make acquaintances. I also hope I'm not the only "old lady" there, but I have a feeling I might be surrounded by teenage boys. Ah well. We'll see how it goes and if I signed up in time to make it into the group (usually these things have limited numbers). In the meantime, I have just enough time to build up some callouses before the first session.

2) That tumblr post I made about Chris Evans now has nearly 13,000 notes. That... completely boggles my mind.

3) bluegerl posted a link to a vid of Tom Hiddleston singing a Hank Williams classic. I love Tom and I love Hank Williams, and after I watched that I went on a youtube Hank Williams binge, which reminded me how much I adore the song, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." And then I went searching for Patsy Cline. "Walking After Midnight"... bliss. For a while in high school I sang that song fortissimo in the shower every day.  Good times, good times. *g*
