Cozy Thursday (no advertising thread)

Dear users, dear authors,
How’s it going? Are you doing well? What’s on your agenda? Are you healthy and fit? What have you been up to? What do you usually do during the day and in the evening?

Today is going to be a good day. I’ve ordered happiness, health, and well-being for everyone.
Have fun.

Thank you for your order, Josefa. ☺

Today is all about yarn, because I don’t have any appointments and can devote the whole day to my patterns. First, I’ll work on the computer, then I’ll set up the photo studio for some nice pictures, and starting in the late afternoon, I’ll be crocheting. ☺

Speaking of orders—I’d quite like to throw this out there: Do you believe in placing orders with the universe?

I didn’t order that from the universe
I ordered it in a way that it’ll simply be delivered, without anyone having to believe in it :-)

Hi Josefa
, thank you very much for your lovely order, Josefa. I’m planning to visit my aunt. She’s in a newly built retirement home, built according to the latest geriatric standards. After all, she’s already 99.5 years old!!
There’ll be a delicious lunch. We’re looking forward to it. Besides that, I’m writing patterns today—so many have piled up—and knitting is better than writing patterns—smile—

Yes, Wollness-Design, I believe in orders from the universe. I own all—or almost all—of Pierre Franckh’s books. It’s actually true that they’ve helped me. Have a lovely day, everyone who stops by. With Josefa’s wishes, nothing can go wrong.

Yours, Jana

Thanks for placing the order, Josefa. As long as it gets delivered, I personally don’t care where you order it from. ;-)

I’m happy today that my muscle soreness is gone.

Like almost every day, I’ll be driving someone to the neighboring town again. But at least today it’s just once.

  Tonight, I’ll do a 15-minute workout so I can actually stick to my good intentions. And otherwise, amid the usual chaos of everyday life, I’ll grab my crochet hook whenever I get the chance.

I always submit requests to the boss on the top floor. But I think that’s just a matter of how you phrase things.

Best wishes and have a great day, Birgit 

Thanks for ordering happiness!
And I also believe that you get it when you order it—no matter where you order it. Your mindset changes when you wait for happiness instead of dwelling on misfortune.

I’m only at work until noon today; the afternoon is once again set aside for studying. Next week is the school exam, and that will decide whether Junior gets into the high school. So we’re all really rooting for him, because the science-focused high school is his absolute dream.

Otherwise, my personal to-do list unfortunately calls for doing laundry and cleaning the bathroom.
But I bet I’ll find a minute or two in between to pick up my crochet projects.

If I’d known you guys liked this kind of thing, I would’ve started doing it sooner. :- )
Better late than never :- )

I also think it’s a matter of perspective. The glass is half full, not half empty. At the start of the year, I made a “Jar of Joy” for myself and my mom. It’s a jar (a canning jar or an old jam jar) where you’re supposed to put a little note every day describing a good or beautiful moment. That way, you focus on the beautiful moments—which, unfortunately, all too often get lost in the shuffle—and by the end of the year, hopefully you’ll have a jar brimming with nothing but wonderful moments. ☺

I've finished everything for today except the ironing :-( and now I have a little time for myself and my craft supplies :-).

@Wollness-Designs what a lovely idea with the jar for a "Jar of Joy".
It reminds me of the story by the Argentinian writer Jorge Bucay. It tells of a village where people receive a little book for their 15th birthday, which they always carry with them and in which they are supposed to write only the beautiful moments of their lives. And when they die, this book is taken and the beautiful moments are added up, and that amount of time is written on their gravestone, because for these people that was the one and only time they had truly lived. When I read the story for the first time, I was very moved.
And your idea is similar and also very lovely; that way, at the end of the year, you can see all the beautiful moments there actually were, which you may have long since forgotten, and remember them together and enjoy them all over again :-)

@Michaela,

definitely!

My day was very uneventful today. I was working until just now. Now I’m heading home and hoping my dear husband has cooked something delicious.
@Josefa: Thank you very much for placing the order.
I also think that you should always try to see the positive side of things. I’ve also found that everything negative has something positive about it, even if you only discover that positive much later.

@Miki
That’s such a lovely story. How much more beautiful the world would be if everyone had something like that....
