TODAY, I AM GRATEFUL FOR ..........

Dear Marie,
Welcome back!
 
Don't worry about the size of the pictures. They may grow to full size later! I have to save all pictures to my computer in order to see them........then, next day they might be big enough to see on the forum if I'm lucky. We don't know why it is.
 
Lovely pics. The mums are stunning, and is that a little chocolate lab? Beautiful.
 
Love,
Jude

Love is the only way

Hello Jude, thanks for the welcome and hello.
 
My new puppy is a chocolate lab, 4 months old and growing so very quickly. I have had her for a month,  she was the runt with her ribs showing. A month later I cannot carry and lift her. So much fun! The other dog is a silky terrier 15 yrs. old and temperamental. The puppy, "Coco" gives, "Scottie" a run and has kept him busy and he does not mind.
 
As for pictures, when adding them here, they can only be added through a photo site right? I have tried from my own pc but not able to do so. I have gone to a photo sharing site. Unless there is another way. Someone please advise if known how to.
 
Marie 

Dear Marie,
 
Thank you for your kind words and prayers!
 
The pictures on my computer are also tiny. They eventually grow while I go to the previous page and come back, or I just leave the page in the open window and go and do something else meanwhile! Upon my return they may have reached full size!
 
Love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Hello dear Marie,
I am glad you are back here - home!
Yes,you are right about pictures,you can not add them directly from your PC,
only through some photo-site.
~with regards and love~

Good Morning,Marie Dear,
It has been a long time since we have had the pleasure of your company here, but it is very very good to see your return.
As good as you always were with the humor site, you will have no trouble whatsoever posting pictures to the "Grateful for Beauty" site.   I think most of us here use photobucket to post pictures.  Here is a link Photobucket  You just set up your own personal account with logon and password.  Once that is finished, you can download your own photos from your computer, or whatever you would like to download.  After upload/download (whichever you want to call it) is finished, you will find a dropdown menu under each picture or you can double click on the picture, it will automatically enlarge it and give you a menu box on the left.  Copy the address listed for direct link, come back here on the message reply, click on the little icon to the sun left of the smiley face above.  That will open a box for you to paste the link.  When the link is pasted, just click "insert" and your picture will appear.  You have my email, if you have any questions, just let me know.

Your puppies are really cute.  The chocolate labs that I have "met" are wonderfully loveable dogs.
Please give Melody a hug from me.  Your raspberry picking sound delightful.

Hugs and prayers,
Betty

Hi Marie.  i know weve not met here before but its good to meet you.  dogs are great but one of my favourites are chocolate labradors, as a friend once had one and she was really playful and had great charadter to her.

Welcome back Marie . . .
I see that Buba has brought us all
such pleasant and embarrassing reminders
of how gratitude challenged we all were,
when 'they' updated the forum.
Seems so long ago now . . .
your dogs look so lively and happy!
More . . . More . . .
with love . . .

Hello Buba, yes I am home here, a good feeling. Thanks for the info. on getting pictures  posted here. The thing is posting them and not forgetting how to do so later. I will go to the thread for info.
 
Hello Betty, thank you for the hugs and prayers, and mine to you dear friend. It has been a long time since posting in the forum. Thanks for the info. on posting. I have used photobucket for posting prior, not my photos, so this is new. With my digital camera, my files have grown and seem to be all over, a good thing, new memories. 
 
Hello Eleanor and welcome to the forum, it is good to meet you too. Your friend's chocolate lab sounds like a good dog. I enjoy the puppy, I have never had a big dog before. I just noticed today your thread on our animals, good idea.
 
Hello Lilsparrow. Yes gratitude challenged with new computer things to learn. I thought I had it down pat but still learning. Frustration can make learning new tricks on the PC so much more than they are.
 
Today I am grateful for a day of rest
a day of realizing change, something resisted, change for the good
grateful for a day of just being, not stressing on small details that have a way of working out.
 
God Bless
Marie
