What brought you joy today?
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.

4 ReactionsThe 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.

7 ReactionsBeautiful 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.

12 ReactionsGrandson 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.

6 ReactionsDogs 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 😃
