I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness. It's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude.

this reminds me of a friend who thought he was middle class so he donated his car to a charity that helps poor people and a month later, he saw his car at his neighbor's house

Thanks for posting this, Brian. I live in Indiana & we have been protesting the redistricting the gov. wants. First, he was going to let it drop when he saw how many were opposed to it, but I guess Trump & Mike Johnson have exerted more pressure so voting is this week. Ugh!

Santa asked @rileyharden.bsky.social what he wanted for Christmas and he turned to me and said “all I want for Christmas is you!”
We got engaged on Saturday! Santa pulled the ring out of his sleeve.
Excited to see where life takes us, together! 💜 Love you, Riley!

Check out Sol’s store for Christmas gifts or gift certificates, while she’s too ill to promote herself.❤️
One of my jobs made me a small plate (very very nice of them) that I ate last night & I have had *the worst* food poisoning ALL day. It’s been one of those nightmare weeks. These two are the best, though, even if they can’t get me ginger ale.

I made a gluten free linzer torte for 2nd Thanksgiving. I’m skeptical bcuz the dough seemed grainy & was difficult to work with. Ignore the ugliness. While it was made with ❤️, it was also a bit frustrating. 😂.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.
