I recently read about the 365 Project that was started by someone who was having difficulty with depression I think.. she took a photo everyday for a year of something that she was grateful for/enjoyed etc
I was wondering if we could do something like that on here, share a picture/ describe something... about something that we are grateful for each day with a little comment.. for instance
Mods... would this be ok?!?

I have often had the same thought.

@Appleblossom Yeah, I'd forgotten how great the zoo is! - Provided it's a zoo that is about animal conservation, that is. I get concerned that some zoos don't treat animals well, but this one that I went to was definitely a gem. I think you and @Jacques are onto something: I think we could all learn something from animals, they are very wiser than most people think.
@Former-Member orangutangs sounds amazing! Were they playful and curious?
I had a friend ask me yesterday if I could choose one endangered animal to save from the thread of extinction would would it be. It's a tough question, but I'm keen to hear your thoughts on this @Former-Member @Appleblossom @Jacques @chookmojo.

@CherryBomb Well from a purely practical perspective I would save bees. I would find it too hard to make this decision based on emotion.

Well my favourite animal to save would have to be elephants, they are such graceful, intelligent creatures who have had a rough ride from humans, their intelligents far surpasses humans.
Thanks @chookmojo, i didn't think of bees, now i have to add bees to the list too, sorry @CherryBomb, i am like @Appleblossom i can't choose just one.......

Today I went to a myotherapist for head and shoulders soft tissue work. It was first time. She was nice but opposite from me .. her and her husband had both been raised in the area and had family close by.
I asked her about the having to drive across town .. and she says she rarely leaves the suburb as all she needs is local. A much simpler life is what I am aiming for. I also was careful about self disclosure and trying more to get her talking than for me to do it. There are so many "delicate" things that just might pop out of mouth.

Better, the tenderness is nothing compared to the stiffness or nerve pain, but I cant afford it often. Thanks for asking. lj
