Thursday Edition - February 26, 2026

Good morning Member

Hey, dear GrayViners! Lately I’ve been noticing how I look forward to one small part of my day, that quiet moment when I can sit down and watch a TV series I’m hooked on. Nothing fancy, just a simple routine that feels like a little reward.

It got me wondering… what’s been your “little bright spot” these past few weeks? Is there something you’ve been enjoying more than usual—a hobby, a daily walk, a project, a show, a game, a call with someone special? Tell me what’s been making your days feel good lately. I’d love to hear what everyone’s been up to. 💛

Let’s revisit yesterday’s Word Unscramble: I V E T A K L A T

The word is talkative! Bravo to our brainy Word Wizards! 

Let’s begin with a quick riddle: I get wetter the more I dry. What am I?

Share your answer here, and if you’re spot-on, you’ll get a shout-out tomorrow. From a frozen food recall and appliance alert to a data breach affecting millions, plus smart deals and top-ranked US hospitals, there’s something for everyone today.
