Today is the Share Four Somethings link up with Jennifer. Happy Saturday! If you are a regular reader, some of this will be redundant!

I was looking for a free image of the number four and found this -a four dyed Easter eggs photo. Do you still dye eggs? I have great memories of egg salad after Easter that was colorful due to the dye on the egg white. I love egg salad! Do you? We only had it once a year!

ONE – Something I’ve loved or disliked:

In the vein of choosing positivity, I am going to focus on “loved”. I had a rough month between losing Ernie on March 2nd and something else that is really not for the blog but now everything is better.

One student brought me these tulips (along with a basket of goodies):

And one student brought me this hyacinth plant and she said it was “just because”:

I want you to know that teenagers are wonderful! I also received a card, a couple of hugs, and several sweet words.

TWO – Something accomplished

I really took pride in having both bathrooms clean at the same time. I had the house to myself, and I did both at the same time pretty much. I have not gotten any new decor for the hall bath, and we are approaching the one-year mark of it being finished. Both spaces make me immensely happy.

THREE – Something I’ve improved upon or that needs improvement

Again, choosing the positive “improved upon” – I have improved upon my gym going and I feel great. I still need to figure out a walking routine that I want to do in addition.

FOUR – Something I’ve noticed

I’ve noticed that the older I get the more I appreciate the simple things. I love that I have a little bit of sun on the patio when I get home and then as the sun starts to lower, I get some really great sunshine on my patio. I love seeing how green my grass is right now, hearing the birds chirp, seeing the first bees buzzing around (I’ve never been scared of bees – I just calmly let them do their thing and hope they don’t sting me), hearing the kids playing on the playground behind my house (they aren’t on screens!), a simple chilled glass of wine, and so much more that makes me happy.

Is there something you would share with me today? I hope to get caught up on your comments this weekend if I haven’t already responded!

  1. A very positive wrap up! I can not for days spent on the deck or patio and I know they are coming soon (I hope!). I like having all our bathrooms clean at the same time too so I’ve started cleaning them all on the same day since I have all those cleaning supplies anyway. I always feel so accomplished when I get that chore done.

  2. Both bathrooms clean at the same time is a great accomplishment! And amen to appreciating the simple things. Life’s too short not to find joy wherever you can find it!

  3. I agree about the little things. I notice them more and more too. My sister-in-law’s dad passed away a couple of weeks ago, and we’ve been sad. But- I’ve tried to notice and appreciate the little things because it’s easy to always feel rushed / stressed

  4. Redundant!? Never! 😀

    I love your bathrooms! And look at that candle on the bathtub.

    For the walking, I’m really into James Clear and his idea of habit stacking; you know, combining something with something you already do.

  7. Love the beautiful flowers you received. I’m also enjoying some time outside in the sun and then just porch sitting out on our front porch.
