The very purpose of our life is happiness, which is sustained by hope. We have no guarantee about the future, but we exist in the hope of something better. Hope means keeping going, thinking, ‘I can do this.’ It brings inner strength, self-confidence, the ability to do what you do honestly, truthfully and transparently.  The Dalai Lama

All the photos will be posted on my FB page, but I'll just describe them here:

Day 1 -- "Springtime, finally" my planter with daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths in bloom.

So no one is going to join along with me, huh?
Day2--a picture of my dad's battery operated law mower that I took when he passed away.  When I use it I can still smell him sometimes.

I'm in!  Does it have to be a picture, or can it just be a feeling?

I took a picture today at my son's school...They have a beautiful garden with statues in it, and the afternoon light was hitting a statue of a grecian maiden staring down into a beautiful fountain that they have.  The inside of the fountain is painted blue, and in the afternoon the blue was a beautiful deep azure.  The grass around the fountain was a lush green, and in the background there are pink cherry or apple blossoms blooming on the trees.

They call this "the senior garden" and only seniors are supposed to walk in it, but I felt compelled to go in and take the picture.  I figured the students think of me as a "senior" anyway.

Welcome, Moonlighting!  If you go to the website: http://100happydays.com/
You can sign up and then post pictures thru Facebook, Twitter, etc.  I don't want to plug up this forum with photos so I just describe them.

The senior garden sounds beautiful!  Nice description...I can really visualize it.

I'll join in, but with descriptions not photos.

I was having a snooze on the sofa yesterday afternoon and I had obvious been snoozing too long. The dog tried to nuzzle my hand, and when that didnt work she got one off toys and plonked it on my tummy!  I got the hint and got up :)

Glad to see you joining in.

My happy photo today was also a race related photo!  It was a picture of my medal from a  half-marathon that I ran today, with the beach and the Atlantic Ocean in the background.

I posted a personal best today, finishing in the top 4% of all women and in the top 2% of my age group (and the top 10% of finishers overall!).  I hate to find a silver lining in the MLC, but I suppose I've been more dedicated to my training and losing weight as a result of GAL.

I'm a little behind.

Day 7.   The beautiful miniature yellow rose bush I got my mother in law.

Day 8.   Her face when she sees it, because she hasn't been able to find one.
     
                                                            And

I think today is Day 9.      The two bluejays sneaking up to the cat food to get a bit with the cats sound asleep nearbye.

Lovely images Tired!

Today was a foggy morning in the NE after a night of torrential rain.

My son's school has a beautiful orchard, which was enshrouded by the fog this morning.  I look a picture of a gate that has the word "Peace" written on it, with the orchard in the background.

Wishing you all peace....

Day 8 was a homemade cappuccino  since I couldn't get out of my house because of the storm.
Day 9  finished grading papers for one of my classes.  It seems that they did learn something after all.

Whew!  I have a bunch of images!

Friday's image was a black and white photo of some train tracks.  I called it "Wanderlust."  Who knows where my journey will take me?

Saturday's image was of a double rainbow.

Sunday's image was the girl being confirmed at a beautiful church service.  The benediction was:  "May God give you the grace to never sell yourself short; grace to risk something big for something good; grace to remember that the world is too dangerous now for anything but truth and too small for anything but love. And the blessing of God Almighty - the God who creates us, the Son who sets us free, and the Spirit who promises to be with us - even to the end of the ages - be with us evermore."

Monday's image was of me and S13 singing in the car to ELO's "Don't Bring Me Down."  S surprised me by harmonizing along with the song.  He did a great job, and we had so much fun!!

Let's see what Tuesday brings!

Hello,

           I love this thread. It doesn't matter what mood I'm in it makes me smile.

MoonlightinPortia- Congratulation on your daughter's confermation.

  The image of your son singing along reminds me of when my three sons were younger. My oldest ( who loves to sing) couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. That didn't stop him. He would sing anyway.  I would just smile. The other two kids would roll their eyes and grown.lol. I guess that would be my image for Day 13.

Hello,

      OOP!  :o I have two Day 13s.  Oh well. I was trying to catch up. Today is actually my Day 15.

      Day 15 -  I know I'm nuts but I love finding the first dandylion of the season.  The kids use to pick me a bunch when they were little.  I had special vases just for them. :D :D :D :D

I've been "off the boards" the last few days and really concentrating on myself.  So here's an update:
Day 14--yeah it fits! Who says you can't put an 11' SUP in a Mini? With the top down and about 6 feet of paddle board sticking out.  It was a good day.
Day 15--a little exam grading pick me up -- a fabulous caramel cupcake
Day 16--beautiful weather today! Sunshine, over 80, and just enough humidity to give me '80s hair
Day 17--Picking up dog poop and found a 4 leaf clover. Hmmm, there must be a moral to the story.


Everyone is doing so well.  It is really nice to see positivity!
