Melanie M<p>Some time ago I started a little journal where I could note the good things that happened to me each day. The Three Good Things hashtag has been a welcome part of my feed here, a lovely boost. So my good things today are<br>1. Met the neighbour’s dog as I left home this morning. She’s a bull terrier and was very excited to see me. <br>2. Spent lunchtime on a terrace high on a hill overlooking London, sat reading in the sun.<br>3. Wore my new walking boots with giraffe print trim today. <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ThreeGoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeGoodThings</span></a></p>

I slept late. And then I jumped out of bed because I seemed to have missed the deadline of a text. But no, I still have four days to go.<br>2. I made a huge pot of thick Korean-style soup - beans, vegetables, mushrooms, seaweed. My son and his friend were hungry, the pot is empty.<br>3. I borrowed and am reading a good book on ADHD.</p>
PNW Michelle<p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/tinydelights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tinydelights</span></a> for Monday:</p><p>1. scrambled eggs on soft corn tortillas, piled with fresh greens and cilantro, for breakfast<br>2. A morning walk in a steady, musical rain<br>3. Finding music to inspire me while I do mindful, devotional housekeeping tasks (today it's Kitka).</p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/threegoodthings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>threegoodthings</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/3goodthings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3goodthings</span></a></p>

"Oh! These still have their scent!"</p>
Ali Clarke :flag_tino:<p>Today:</p><p>- was dry and mild and I got a big lot of laundry almost dry outdoors </p><p>- Mum gave me some lovely quinces she got from a friend </p><p>- after my week away I especially appreciated my usual daily walk. I went on some good walks up north, but this one has the harbour, the woodland garden, sea birds, forest/garden birds, and cheerful greetings from other walkers I know.</p><p><a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/ThreeGoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeGoodThings</span></a> <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>today</span></a> <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/SimplePleasures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SimplePleasures</span></a></p>

(We actually tied the knot at the Zoo, so it’s special for us.)<br>2) 15yo wanted more than anything to go to the <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Insect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Insect</span></a> house. I love how cute she finds all the things with all the legs. (And the toads, and the snakes, and the lizards… budding herpetologist here.)<br>3) It was just such a gorgeous day to spend together hanging out with critters!</p>
Jason844<p>Three good things for today: 5/11/2025</p><p>1. Phone call with my sister.<br>2. Mowed the lawn.<br>3. Booming blooms are blooming: White on the marsh mallow, blue on the culinary sage, shocking pink on the rhododendrons, and a riot of white, red, and red/pink/white stripes on the snapdragons.</p><p>Today's exercise: Mowed the lawn in a bit under an hour.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ReasonsToBeCheerful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReasonsToBeCheerful</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3goodthings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3goodthings</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ThreeGoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeGoodThings</span></a></p>
Baltergeist<p>Terrific Mother's Day with the family. Mom liked her prezzies, having her kids visit, catching up with everyone. We probably wore her out, but in a good way.</p><p>Enjoyed a long, sweet cuddle with the kitty, who was happy to have us back home again.</p><p>Finally saw the film Conclave, riveting, superb cast, and I need to watch it again to pick up all the nuances.</p><p>Bonus: Monthly provision order is in for pick-up tomorrow. Tamales and potstickers, yum yum, can't wait! </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/3GoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3GoodThings</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ThreeGoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeGoodThings</span></a></p>

Jules<p>Today's good things were duties, but good ones.</p><p>- religious duty: listened to Revelation. Found it super weird as always; got some ideas how to learn more about it.</p><p>- civic duty: going to a protest (against the far right). Could've been more people there, but it was good regardless.</p><p>- neighborly duty: spring festival at the neighborhood refugee accommodation. There was food, but I didn't get any; it was nice regardless.</p><p><a href="https://rheinhessen.social/tags/ThreeGoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeGoodThings</span></a></p>

I went to check on the client, on call, and he's fine. I'm relieved. We went to the store together.<br>2. My son and his friend and I cut down three dead spruce trees in the garden.<br>3. I finished the work entries for last month, and tomorrow is my day off.</p>

The weather is lovely and it's nice to see all the trees full of leaves again.<br><br>- We had a great Mother's day weekend with a nice dinner prepared by my brother and tasty cakes from the local shop for coffee with my family in law.<br><br>- Our garden is flowering again. I don't have the spoons to weed yet, but most of the "weeds" are happy little accidents as Bob Ross'd say - adding free extra flowers for us and the bees.

Rumeysa Ozturk was freed from ICE 👿detention on Friday. This was due to tireless community organizing and the ruling by Judge Sessions in Vermont. I do hope we can realize our power as people at scale in the US but for now this is a glimmer of hope. </p><p>2. Gave an hour long presentation on HPC/SLURM, resource management and job scheduling in super computing. I've never given a presentation in a work environment and I think I did pretty well! </p><p>3. Just loving Chicago in general though I haven't been north of the river yet! I feel like that's kinda crazy but I'm saving that for a more touristy weekend.</p>
