*Not* doom-scrolling through the news every hour. 🙂

I do care about the world's problems, but I can't fix them single-handed, so I focus on helping people and exercising kindness and empathy within my actual reach.

We had a little bit of snow over night, changed to rain making the snow somewhat hard to move. My joy was after finishing shoveling out the driveway, I stopped and looked at it and was happy looking at what I just did, life's little challenges. Everyone have a good day.

Listening to favorite old music in my collection while feeling the strength returning in my body as I exercise. Beautiful sunshine day outside the window is just a bonus. Wishing everyone some joyful moments today.

I am enjoying the bright sunshine sparkling on the snow on a 15' day, and all the birds flocking to the feeders. I hope others can enjoy the winter beauty despite the cold.

Voting in the advanced polls for the provincial election.

Voting's always been a family activity for us: this time, my spouse and one of my daughters walked over with me, and we all cast our ballots for a great, caring local candidate.

Every election I live to see is another victory, no matter who wins at the polls. 💪

My wife and I spent the day with our granddaughter preparing for her 8th birthday celebration while her mom was at work. We did a craft project together, grilled Panini sandwiches for lunch, knocked out the weekends math and reading homework then baked, iced and decorated a lemon cake with vanilla frosting. We even piped an "8" from melted chocolate onto a bed of colored sprinkles to use as a cake topper. As she had received a bike for Christmas, but would never ride it when we were there, I suggested she give me just 5 minutes to give her some tips on learning to ride. She finally agreed, begrudgingly. Ten minutes later, she had the balance part figured out. The peddling quickly followed. We walked as she rode until dark. She was euphoric over her accomplishment! It was a wonderful day; the memory of which I will always cherish.

@dailyeffort, I'm so glad you got to spend the day with your granddaughter. What a wonderful day filled with such precious memories that'll last a lifetime.
Happy 8th birthday to your little princess. 🎉🎊🎂

Today is two years with stage 4 prostate, metastasized to the bone, under control. Am feeling pretty giddy today. Has been a bumpy ride but I'm at the point where it's okay. Recently retired so I can do the little projects around the house and when needed or I just want to, take a break. The med SE's haven't changed but able to better deal with them. I get to spend more time feeling good about myself. Best to all.
