Actually glad that the hurricane knocked down the tall bush in front of my window because I needed this sunlight to enter my bedroom! Loving it 🙏 #GladGame [Image Description: a square shaped window with warm wooden blinds open to show a neighboring white roof and a low bush peeking through the bottom half of the window]

Susan has been evacuated from her home in Bonny Doon since Tuesday night. She took this photo Wednesday when it was still possible to drive up the coast to Davenport. As of yesterday, her home was still standing. Neighbors formed their own fire 🔥 brigades to defend properties going from home to home looking for flare ups. . CalFire has been unable to muster the resources to support all of the fires started by the unusual lightning storm ⛈ from last Saturday night. In the wee hours of Wednesday morning her friend opened her home to Susan’s husband and two fur babies, her cats Rocket 🚀 and Buttons. Unlike the Paradise “ Camp fire” that impacted her family, she had the luxury to pack precious items like photo albums and legacy family quilts. It will likely be months before anyone who still has a home will have electricity and water given all of the infrastructure that was lost. People have created GoFundMe pages for friends who have lost their homes 🏡. Santa Cruz Community Foundation has setup a fund for recovery. Recently Susan watched the 1963 movie Pollyanna about a young girl who played the “glad game” when disappointed. Susan is glad for her husband, friends and family. #bonnydoonstrong #santacruzstrong #gratitudeattitude #gladgame #pollyanna #californiastrong #bonnydoonfire (at Santa Cruz, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEPFIFUghyq/?igshid=1co7458wyq61h

Has anyone seen Pollyanna with Hayley mills? Well this status is brought courtesy of that film. It's called the glad game. You might think the whole world is against you at the moment, but I want you to think of one thing you're glad about and everyone on my Facebook should have something they are glad about 🙂 the purpose of this is to get you thinking more positive about yourself 🙂 So the one thing I'm glad about is being a mental health nurse... I’m so glad that I am in a position to be able to help people ❤️ #gladgame #pollyanna #hayleymills #positivevibes #positiveenergy https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Kkvd8BaBw/?igshid=81ywzub26g8l

Thankfulness| Day 14| blue jays- I love blue Jays- as they are what I call my “God wink” from my Uncle Jay... they don’t come around much... but when they do, they make theirselves very present! This is one of the reasons I do thankfulness, we all get caught in being upset that I was not having a good morning then a tiny bird changed my morning! And for that I am thankful ! #thereisalwayssomethingtobethankfulfor #grateful #november #2018 #gladgame #bluejays #nature #godwinks #thankful #fall https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNgUialO8-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14dlenmqxyt7i

Thankfulness| Day 12| Vacations and memories- this picture is 2 memories in one. And that is something I don’t think any one else could have done... wait actually it’s 3 memories in 1 photo. And 2 vacations. I am thankful for vacations and thankful and grateful for the people who made this and past vacations so memorable. I look at this picture often and just smile. This is just something I will cherish life long. #thereisalwayssomethingtobethankfulfor #grateful #november #2018 #gladgame #vacations #whatmemoriesaremadeof #apictureisworth1000words https://www.instagram.com/p/BqIHjJnl8kt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iin7axom1io
