2026 Happy Blog Challenge

 Wednesday  Here are some happy things from today: Work was rough, but I made it through, yay!  I was assigned to stow which meant lots of bending and lifting.  The end result is that I am tired and achy.  I'm thankful for the friendly faces of some of the people I've met there. Pretty much the first thing I did when I got home was stretch out on my bed and stretch out my back and fall asleep.  I set a timer, so I didn't sleep for long.   After doing some dishes and eating I decided to finish the Lego flowers.  When the flower I was given for Valentine’s Day is gone, I'll see how they look in a vase.   ☮ Continued listening to: The Art of Community: Seven Principles for Belonging , by Charles H.

  Tuesday February 17th Intention for the day:  To be able to spend the night at work as scheduled and not have my body decide to feel bad.   Here are some happy things from today: At some point at work this morning I walked past the open bay doors and noticed a winter wonderland outside.  It was quite pretty and a little surprising.  I guess I should have watched the weather!   When I got home I ate and thought about resting for a bit.  Instead, I made a list of things to try to accomplish.  Then I rested for ten minutes and set out to do things.  Some of the things were more boring, like doing the dishes and working on my taxes.   Another thing I did was to take a chance and plant a bunch of bulbs.  It is not the right time, but I have taken a chance before with bulbs and had some luck.  Only time will tell if they will grow. The last thing I did was to start making the Lego set that Keziah got me for Valentine...

Sunday,  February 15th In tention for the day (I'm going to try again): To do my best to joyfully move through the day.  If things become stressful I intend to retreat somewhere and find something to do to relieve the stress that is not always my cell phone.  Here are some happy things from today: The sunrise was pretty with some shades of peach in the clouds. One of my goals was to organize my desk some.  In the process of doing that I came across some window crayons I have had for a while.  I decided to draw on the bedroom window.  It didn’t come out very well.  I was at a weird angle reaching over the desk to draw.  It was fun though. It says, "Everyday is a treasure." I tried to see it from outside, all glare. I found some slides in my desk drawer.  After some trial, error and an internet search I figured out how to take a picture of them.  The slides are of my Aunt and Uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary back in the 1980’s.  I mad...
