THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE PHOTOS



These are a few of my favorite photos
Bringing a deep smile to my heart on a dreary snow-clad day
An eagle cruising high in the sky as the sun sets,
reminding me to look out, and be open to miracles in daily life. 
A photo of Meagan, happy to be with her family in such an awesome setting
  in her new homeland of Southern Chile
My twins, Lara (left) and Meagan (right) celebrating the New Year with Jaime, all in shirt sleeves, for it is summer in January in Chile
    And sweet Eliza Jane, my second grandchild, born last July,
already bringing the joys of new life into her caring family.

Without I-Photo and Facebook, we could not so readily be in touch.
Yes, there is good news that comes with technology, not just what we may see and hear on the nightly news.  I am grateful to share these sweet memories with you!

WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY?



Happiness is different for each of us.
For me, it means special times with caring friends
Yummy healthy food, both preparing and enjoying it
Being creative, with my hands, my voice, my thoughts, my body
It means laughing at the antics of Abbie, my current cat
It means writing when I am moved to do it, regardless of whether it will be shared
Sunshine and enjoying the outdoors
Planning trips with friends that  are likely to be fun for both or all of us
Taking classes that help expose me to new ideas
Having help to declutter my living space, a project I do better with encouragement
Reading and writing to be in touch with friends on the Internet

That’s a start.   Feeling better in my body would be high on the list as well!
