Good morning Member
Happy Sunday, GrayViners! Weâll be back officially tomorrow with your newsletters returning to regular programming. Weâve had a wonderful break where we have all managed to rest, recharge, and have a few little moments that make time off feel like a gift. Whether you have had a lovely break or not, we would love to hear how youâre going on our forum.
Now, weâre so excited to jump back in and spend the rest of 2026 with our GrayVine community, sharing the stories, tips, and updates that keep you informed (and hopefully smiling!) along the way. Thank you for being here and for making this space feel like home. đ đ©”

Awww Of The Day
Awww of The Day
I am using todayâs âAww Of The Dayâ to share with you a photo of my gorgeous dog, Poppy! At the end of last year, we were given a little custom figurine of Poppy and I absolutely love it! I thought it was hilarious when I showed it to her, because all she wanted to do was destroy it. Clearly she didnât like the little version of her. Isnât this photo just adorable? If you have a photo youâd like to share, post it on our forum here!
Quote Of The Day
âWe spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives ... not looking for flaws but for potential.â â Ellen Goodman
