Sailor moon was always on the tv during my childhood. Those girls were so frickin’ cool. Sailor moon and dragon ball z were my anime poison lol. Now its just One Piece when i have time after work!
When clothes that I bought online fit, Butterflies who visit me while hanging laundry on the balcony, pigeons singing in front of my window, shorter days, colder weather, fresh sheets, a long bath
I thought of starting a thread about daily “glimmers” as I’d heard the term quite a bit lately and it’s a great concept. Then I figured I’d search if there was a thread, et voilà, here it is! It’s good to try to find beauty in the every day
My glimmers today:
Today as I was driving the gravel rural road after dropping kiddo off at school, the sun was peeking through the cloudy sky and shining on the colourful maple leaves. Then a blue jay flew in front of me. It made me smile, as mum loved birds… but was not a fan of blue jays as she said they stole food from her other little birds, finches etc at her feeder and made a mess. Good memories of her and how I used to laugh when she’d get grumpy at the jays

In Australia we have an awesome charity called Share The Dignity. I am thoroughly enjoying filling donated handbags with essentials and gifts collected over the past few months for women and teen girls living in crisis accommodation etc… Knowing I am going to make 7 ladies feel blessed and worthy this Christmas is my glimmer for today!!
Coffee
Chatting with people in a grocery store or on the train
The feeling after 8 hours of good sleep
A full fridge

My glimmer is definetly my cat that I consider my son. He loves me so so damn much. The way he hugs me in the morning or when I come home brings me the greatest of joys. I let hims sleep in my bed sometimes and we cuddle in the morning. I love my little bundle of joy
On my way home, some dude just asked me if I this were my hometown. When I said yes, he handed me a bouquet of flowers and said: Enjoy! I have no use for them at my hotel room. And off he walked.
How did I miss this topic? Jusr reading all the responses brings me joy. What a nice way to start my Sunday. Thank you @Ladybuggy for starting this and thank you @Pandita for reviving.
Yesterday’s glimmer…My daughter sitting on the swing in our backyard by the lake, talking to the ducks. I could hear her thru the window while cleaning. That cute sweet gentle voice telling the ducks how sad she was because she had no bread for them melted my heart. They were quacking back at her like they were having a conversation, more like yelling at her for not having any food.
It’s getting warmer and soon we’ll be feeding the turtles again too. Restocking food for our wildlife family is on my list today. In our previous home, we treated the deer with sweet corn throughout the winter. Nature is absolutely beautiful and brings our family daily glimmers.
Dessert and decaf coffee after dinner out.
The couple next to us was remarking on St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans and I was able to answer with total honesty that it was just another day to me.
My lox and cream cheese bagel for dinner tonight, , with all the works. Yum-O!!
Biggy and littly, so cute
