I got a rescue dog last August and have been loving playing out in our fenced yard with him. I love nature and have the fence outlined with perennials. It is so pretty to either play with him out in the yard or sit in our porch and just watch nature, especially the birds. Thanks for your tips.

[@ConnieRiet]

Hi Alice, Thank you so much for sharing the things that bring you joy. Your descriptions are absolutely lovely and make me smile. Rescue dogs are pretty special additions to any households. They bring companionship , love, and stability. I'm sure your sweet pup brings joy to you too. Happiness and Peace, Connie

HI CONNIE I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS👍😉AND MY FAVORITE SHOW IS THE GOLDEN GIRLS 😂

[@gracedarlenemcpherson9079]

I am another Andy Griffith Show lover! Love the small town, simpler times, positive message of that beloved show.

[@Celines8887]

I enjoy gardening gazing at my flowers and smelling my roses..my paint by numbers kit outdoors! Love painting early morning out on my deck and hearing the birds!! I also started stiching!! Love it. I have been enjoying my alone time!

[@ConnieRiet]

What a lovely term, garden gazing. I do that too, but I never knew what to call it. My kids say, "Mom is staring at her flowers again." LOL

[@mariacastillo3090]

Andy Griffith my go to show to take my mind back to simpler days. I can watch it all day.

[@ConnieRiet]

Andy Griffith is the BEST!

I like to feed the outside animals and the Hummingbirds are always pleasant to see!!

[@JS-cj7jf]

Thank you for these reminders! Enjoying your channel🙏

[@debbielynch6564]

I love AndyGriffith, too! It is one of my favorite comfot shows. I am 60, and sometimes I feel a bit embarrassed whenmy husband or daughter walk in and I am watching. LOL. But, I don't care. If I need it, I need it. Also, Leave it to Beaver and the Brady Bunch. All these show harken back to a simpler time, heavy on family love and simple story lines, often that have a beautiful moral message and outcome.

[@dorisnoyes18]

You sound just like me! I love those shows!!!

[@ConnieRiet]

It's always a pleasure to meet another Andy Griffith fan! I agree, it also takes me back to simpler time. I think that's why I love it so much. Happiness and Peace, Connie

[@maryl.8417]

I used to love watching Loretta Young sweep through the doors at the beginning of her show. She always looked so beautiful.

[@roxannetrombly3733]

I love seeing the paper white bulbs grow at this time of year, brushing my dog and giving her lots of love, watching birds feed after a snow storm while I have tea in bed.

[@ConnieRiet]

Sounds lovely!

[@kobrien7945]

I have also found it helpful to specifically write down things I am grateful for in areas that I am struggling. For example if I am feeling unsatisfied with my home I will start to list the things about my home I am grateful for. It can also help when you are annoyed with someone to be grateful for all their positive attributes.

[@ConnieRiet]

Fantastic tip!!! Thank you so much for sharing with us. I agree that gratitude can lift the spirit and bring joy. I love the idea of focusing gratitude around a specific area in life. Happiness and Joy, Connie

[@sincerelyeman8494]

[@denisediauto9618]

I have recently found your channel and I enjoy it very much! I also love the Andy Griffith show. My husband and I are huge fans of the show and will insert quotes from the show in our conversations often forgetting that the rest of the world may not be huge fans as well. :) Thank your for a great video!

[@lucrecia0005]

Looking forward to something - this is a great tip. I love planning a small trips every couple of weeks. Thanks to that I always have something to wait for and I'm not that sad that the time goes by so fast.

[@melissaalp5972]

[@anoa6294]

I love these tips 🤍 thank you, and blessings to you!

[@ConnieRiet]

You're so welcome! Same to you.

[@bigbadbillb]

I am a depression sufferer, and I have utilized many of the tips mentioned here that have proven helpful to me. Adopting a pet from a shelter is something I would recommend if you have the means and circumstances to do it. I have my "comfort shows" as well: Big Andy Griffith fan myself, and The Dick Van Dyke Show. Classic T.V. is the best!

[@crestonhardcastle7631]

I agree on most of what you are saying especially being thankful and what sparks joy in the little things and getting dressed not staying our PJs all day if we don't get dressed each day covid19 or not we will get depressed by staying in our PJs it leads to passivity and inactivity and depression when we get dressed each day it leads to being active proactive and less depression more feeling good about the world around us and we can enjoy life more often than not I like casual dressy I'm not really into dressing up but I love a beautiful hat or a beautiful scarf crestons wife speaking I love t shirt dresses and long dress

[@ConnieRiet]

I agree!

[@crestonhardcastle7631]

As crestons wife I would love to know all the hobbies you enjoy I love to cook or make homemade apple sauce or home made pumpkin bread or maybe homemade banana bread I want to make a healthy version of apple crisp and I love reading setting new goals spending time with my cat and husband and meditating prayer and watching discovery HGTV and the little couple
