AN ALLIGATOR PICTURE TAKEN BY MY SON WHILE ON VACATION

Thursday, July 8, 2021 4:14 p.m. Partly cloudy breezy 85 degrees possibility of thunderstorms

A sort of lazy day as I have nothing exciting or productive to report. Making the bed and doing the dishes doesn’t count and neither does warming up leftovers . We have just watched TV and played games on the Computer. Tina did a bit of Diamond Art and I went through e-mails. Oh, yes, the cats have been brushed and played with. They are a bit demanding when they want attention.

One of the things I say is be Joyous, be happy . In case the reader doesn’t know the difference, I will tell you as I see it. Happiness depends on what is going on around you, maybe your mood or watching a good movie or reading a great book; possibly a good experience. Some people say that a location or action is their happy place. Webster’s dictionary says it is being glad, fortunate, content, or lucky, What or where is yours? Then there is joy. Joy or being joyous is something that bubbles up from within. It is a constant and doesn’t seem to depend on what we are doing, or where we are, or who is with us. It is just there and bursts forth whenever it wants to. Webster’s dictionary says Joy is gladness, exhilaration of spirits. It is that and more.

I hope that you are in your happy place and experience joy always. I believe the frame of mind has a great deal to do with both. Have a fantastic Thursday. Fill it with joy and happiness, fun and positiveness.
