Mid-Week

 Wednesday 

Intention for the day: Be joyful/happy.

Happy middle of the week!  Here are some happy things from today:

  • Work went well.  No weird feeling of “not well” in the middle of the shift.  The few people who knew about it asked how I was doing, that was nice.
  • The SCA Barony I live in owns three cash registers.  We have them specifically for the large event we had a week or so ago.  This year it seemed none of them worked correctly.  I got one of those working at the event.  I have no idea what I did, it just seemed to work when I turned it on.  One of the others I “fixed” today.  It was a simple fix, but I'm still happy with myself for not giving up.  The third one doesn't seem to even turn on.  I'll play with that more another day.
  • The last two books I listened to were not the happiest.  This is not a complaint, just an observation.  I decided to look at the list of books in the humor section of Hoopla this time.  So far I'm enjoying the tongue-in-cheek nature of the audio book I chose.  
  • While conversing on the phone with TF I finished coloring a page in my coloring book.  



  • Sunset...


Sunset through the beveled glass on the door.

Sunset from my window.


End of day intention wrap up:  Well, I'm forgetting to do this intentionally.   I think that means I need to change it up.  For now, I'll think about it.

Thank you for being here and being part of my daily happy things. Stay safe!

Happy 2026

 You found it! January 1st. Welcome to a new year of me looking for happiness and gratitude within my day. Thank you for being here. I'm going to try to make a small change to my life habits and I'm going to attempt to bring that to my daily blog.   A recent video I saw was about habits to add to a morning to make a happier life. One of these suggestions was to start the day with an intention. That should mean something mindful or positive. It might turn into a goal for me as I tend to be practical so my mind works that way more. One intention for today was going to include getting out for a walk. As the wind blows and the temperature drops, I'm debating that. That is also more like a goal. The other was to do something different that I might not otherwise do. Writing an intention down before my day starts and trying to follow-through will be part of this. I hope you join me as I attempt to build this new habit. The above was written after a nice breakfast out ...

Birka Day Two

 January 24th Intention for the day: Look for the positive/proactive side in all the exchanges possible. Here are some happy things from today: Much of the early part of my day was spent volunteering at the event.  I also attended a meeting for exchequers (treasurers).  There is a possibility that I will be doing that again. I got to spend a little bit of time with my new protégés.  They both know that I want them to update their information on their wiki pages.   I ended up having a lot of fun with a friend who tried to steal a French fry from me.  It became a lovely game of trying to get a snack without the other noticing.  During court this afternoon some wonderful people were given awards for their deeds.  One of these people is a dear friend and the current Seneschal of our Barony.  He was made a Member of the Order of the Mark.  This is a new peerage level award in the SCA.  Here is a link that describes the current peer ...

My Moving Day

 January 3rd Intention for the day: to enjoy the moving process today. Here are some happy things from today: This morning I woke early, only stayed under the covers a little while, and then got busy with my day.  It felt good to be motivated to get some of this stuff done.  Packing had to happen before my friends showed up to help. Friends arrived a few hours later.  I had achieved less packing than I wanted to but more than I really thought I would.  This seemed like a good position to be in.  We got most of the things loaded between the two pickup trucks.  We made good time and we got to the new house before I thought we would.  Things got unloaded and my bed put back together.  We didn't have the headboard or a few other things and went back for them after going out for a nice lunch. The boys left when all that was done and Stephanie and I visited for a while.  We are planning a backpacking trip in April and talked over some possibil...
