To Life Lessons
I had a friend once that always said, “Either you win or you learn” and it always irked me because I thought it was such a naive way of looking at things. Some lessons I thought, hurt too much and dig too deep to recover from. There are some that change you for good, and maybe that’s the point. For good meaning for the better and not just for good meaning from there on out. Sometimes we win. We’re lucky when it’s love (I always think in love, people get lucky, then they have to do the work to stay lucky), we work hard when it’s a job or business,…

To a daily dose of happy: don’t want none unless you got buns hun
These faces make me happy everyday. They are not the easiest.

They are loves of my life and I am very fortunate to have them with me. Who makes you happy every day?

To a daily happy

As you face this Monday, I hope the weekend has fortified your happy meter and you face it well rested and with a happy heart. You deserve it. What made you happy this weekend?

To a daily happy
When we were in Osaka, I ate one of these most everyday because it was so creamy and not overly sweet. I was safely ensconced in my winter coat and could fully enjoy these without vibrating from the cold. If I was to ask for stuff to import from Japan, I am hoping these cremia cones would be available everywhere here (but then there goes my waistline). But it would still be my daily happy.
