What brought you joy today?

Posted by northoftheborder @northoftheborder, Jun 28, 2024

If you've been living with cancer for a while, you know it's not all gloom and doom. Where did you find joy today? I'll start:

1. Working in my garden.
2. Meeting my daughter for tea.
3. Home-made pizza for dinner.
4. My spouse (always).
5. Some interesting online discussions.
6. Rereading a good novel.

The web site doesn't have enough reactions available to do your news justice, so I'll supplement them with a stock photo of a party dog.

This is my Husky . Rory
(Aurora- so named cause she can say it!)
Between 6:00 and 7:00 pm she does whatever she has to to remind me it’s walky time.

Beautiful Husky! My daughter has an "Aurora" also. She calls her Rora and I think she probably gets the same reminders that Rory gives you 🙂. I just have to be careful Rora doesn't knock me down being friendly when my daughter brings her over. It brings me joy to see her with my daughter.

Grandson just came over for the weekend. At 13 years old, he's a big boy, of course grandpa will take advantage and have him help me move some things that I can't do by myself. Last visit, he helped me remove the old mailbox post and install a new one. Oh, so great to be young,lol..Best to all.

This little puppy, the newest member of our household (she belongs to my daughter and son-in-law).

Dogs are amazing. I often wish I could be one (except for the horrible food they have eat and the too short lifespan). No awareness of the future, no self-pity, etc.

Yesterday was perfect weather here in NJ and I took my dog on a five mile hike and about two miles in she stopped, wagged her tail and jumped up on me as if to say "thanks, this is really great!" and I stopped on the trail and gave her a hug before we continued on.

Of course, she also ate an entire bag of pretzels I'd bought to snack on but you have to take the wins with the losses 😃

This forum has been so good for me. Such joy reading everyone wanting to lend a helping hand. My joy today was waking up and just feeling so good. I received an email last night and it was so nice. I'm having trouble writing this but wanted to say it brought me joy. Best to all
