Pollyanna - I can recall she peeved me off! I was stuck in bed a lot of the time with bad asthma and I certainly could not find 'glad' anywhere, was too busy fighting for breath.

Now apart from organising, making lists, directing operations and on a very good day able to use fluffy duster, I am useless but I am GLAD - glad to be alive.

I do Dizzi, I read those too :-D

POLLYANNA I REMEMBER HER BOOKS,
DO YOU REMEMBER THE KATY BOOKS,WHAT KATY DID NEXT AND SO ON,

Thankyou for all the 'glad' posts :-D

and to Susan... yes indeed there is nothing that makes me as glad as to have a good moan when one is needed :-D

Yes...but now and again isn't it great to have a good old moan :-D :-D

The sun is shining, it is Friday my favourite day, my pal is coming over for dinner tonight and we will eat and drink (too much) and gossip. Then in the morning I shall stagger to my Singing Group where we are doing 'Till There Was You'.....ahhhh...am so glad :-D :-D <3

Hope you all have a great day.

This is a lovely thread, thank you for putting it on here. As my mum used to say, no matter what, there is always someone out there who is worse off than you.

If I could request a review of my life I think I'd be glad with the way things have been & tomorrow is always there to look forward to...

Rose...I'm not keen on silvery ends!

Pollyanna is my daughters favourite film.At an interview she was asked if she could be someone who had influenced her.......her answer was Pollyanna lol

When you see the shape the world is in
When the way it is ain't what it's been
When folks just care for gold,
Thank God, I'm old
When you take a gander at the news
When you hear the language people use
When no sweet songs are sung
I don't wanna be young

Daddy time he
Doesn't fret me
Should he spy me
That don't upset me
Let him eye me
Come and get me
That's fine by me
Age don't worry me

When you see the way folks misbehave
When it's only good times that they crave
When kids are much too bold
Thank God, I'm old
When there ain't no He-Men left alive
When they tell you three men out of five
End up locked up or hung
I don't wanna be young.


Gonna get me dressed and powdered down
Call myself a hack and go to town
See every shady street
These feet once strolled.
Then I'm gonna slip back on the shelf
Have myself a nip and tell myself
Though my back buckles and bends
My hair's got silvery ends
When I see all of my friends
Laid out and cold
Thank God, I'm Old!

i also count my blessings
but love it when karma strikes
and god lets me watch :-P

i wish i had harry potters wand ;-)

See Eeyore that made me choke again!!!! :-D :-D

my next door neighbour is fitting a new fence so my garden is trashed, but its made me sift the stuff iv been going to bin for ages, so im glad of that :-D

bad things happen to good people, im just glad im optimistic and can see the good thro the bad, and smile daily that im breathing,

Yes Rose that is the canine JCB & she's a very unladylike girl!

Supercrutch-sleepacneamajoralis! :-0

Sounds like a Harry Potter Spell lol :-D

That's what friends are for - to make you realise that life is good even when it's bad :-D

If I have the 'ump I know a few minutes on the phone with any number of friends will have me laughing :-D :-D

My blessings are OH, children, grandson, family and friends. If you have any of those the rest of the cr*p in your life can be put on a high shelf to collect dust.

Eeyore I am glad everytime I see the expression on your doggy avatar (I assume it is your dog :-D She looks a real character)

edited 'he' to 'she' ! sorry

Reasons to be cheerful part 3

1 2 3

Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley and nanny goats

18-wheeler Scammels, Domenecker camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly, and porridge oats

A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it - yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on 40 ? - no electric shocks

The juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot
A little drop of claret - anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, days when I ain't spotty,
Sitting on the potty - curing smallpox

Reasons to be cheerful part 3

Health service glasses
Gigolos and brasses
round or skinny bottoms

Take your mum to Paris
lighting up the chalice
Wee Willy Harris

Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico

Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motorsickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
balabalabala and Volare

Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying hokey-dokey, Sing Along With Smokey
Coming out of chokey

John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celentano
Bonar Colleano

Any more reasons?. :-D

Well Said EEyore I feel exactly the same, im not proud of some of the things I have said and done, but I cannot and will not look back anymore as Stray says...I count my blessings over and over and am so grateful for what I have now and enjoy as much as I can....

We all live our lives differently and to say that "LIVE" we are the lucky ones...

Love this Glad thread

:-D :-D

OH called me into the garden to see the size of the hole the dog has excavated...glad I'm not the dog :-0
