Since I do not have the required knowledge or qualification, I will gladly leave this very important task to the professionals who, no doubt, do their jobs very well.
To be honest, you would not want me to be in charge. Why? Because my priority would be to save as many animals as possible. Humans? If there’s still time, maybe a few… [just kidding!]

Thirty Ways To Happiness
Let’s see if I can get to thirty little “happy-makers”, shall we?
01) Lilly [everything about and with her]
02) my favorite songs
03) watching the birds on my balcony
04) Butterflies
05) Memories
06) Rainbows
07) a walk through the woods
08) wildflowers
09) YouTube
10) in-depth conversations with my neighbor/friend
11) the scent of freshly cut grass
12) my tidy and organized, but rarely dust-free apartment
13) the experience of life in the USA for 20 years [and everything it taught me]
14) Daydreams
15) crafting [although the last time’s been a while]
16) telepathic connections
17) the experience of a cruise [twice]
18) when one of my point & click photos turns out well
19) a great idea, especially when other people benefit from it also, not just myself
20) nighttime
21) freshly brewed coffee
22) the color blue
23) silence
24) simple things [as in basic or uncomplicated]
25) my passionate love for dogs

27) my iPod
28) building a house in the Sims 4 [unless it doesn’t turn out – and that happens often]
29) sunsets
30) that I [finally] begin to understand, who I am truly meant to be
T.H.I.R.T.Y. “happy-makers”, done and dusted. Dang! That was not as easy as I thought 🍀😊
Fitting In
“Fitting in is boring. But it takes you nearly
your whole life to work that out”.
– Clare Balding
Definitely true for me. And still, the realization is better late in life, than not at all. Happy Sunday!!
With Liveliness And Charm
Lilly is my greatest joy, hands down. Our daily activities, include 3 to 4 walks, sweet cuddles on the couch, grooming [she’s getting used to it slowly], as well as hide and seek or gleefully chasing after her toys being thrown across the room. Lilly’s charm and liveliness add pleasure and humor to the much disliked, but necessary “hamster wheel”. Ever since she made her way into my heart and home on June 12th of this year, there’s been a great improvement in my mood, and I am thankful beyond words for having this sweet. little whirlwind in my life.
Well Deserved!?
I got into the [bad?] habit of introducing myself to others by naming a few of my negative traits to let them know, what to expect. Most often the response I get is either “come on, you exaggerate a bit” or “don’t cut yourself down like that, surely it’s not so bad”. Oh? You know better, do you? Okay, good! Then you “receive” what you deserve – live and in colour – while getting to know me and everything, I tried to warn you about. [Later on they complain, that dealing with me is exhausting and complicated]. Well, sometimes it pays off to listen, don’t you think?
In Solitude
“Introverts are collectors of thoughts, and solitude is where the collection
is curated and rearranged to make sense of the present and future”.
– Laurie A. Helgoe
Yes, absolutely. Happy Sunday!!
New Zealand, Please!
🇳🇿 I would be thrilled beyond words about two free plane tickets to New Zealand. 🇳🇿
Settling Down – Miranda Lambert
For tonight’s musical snack, I’m sharing my favorite song by Miranda Lambert. I absolutely luv, luv, luv this song – and video – for more than just one reason. I hope, you will enjoy it as well…
Miranda Lambert is one of my true favorite country singers. Not only does she have a lovely voice and writes beautiful songs that resonate with me, she also loves animals and founded her own none profit organization, called MuttNation to help promote and educate people about shelter animals. What’s not to love?? Have a good night 🌙✨
Devil’s Horns??
Just a little something to smile about….
Did this devilish tomato make you smile? Have a very good evening, and just maybe I’ll see you back here for a musical snack at midnight?
What’s The Task?
Give me a project or task to be done, and I will select the music. My song choices also depend upon the mood I am in at the time. Generally speaking, if I do housework like cleaning, cooking, organizing, ironing clothes, etc. or I’m in the basement to work on a craft project, I’ll listen to everything from country music and smooth jazz to EDM and classic rock.
To be honest, I only get specific about what I’m listening to when I have to concentrate on the task at hand. That’s the case, for example, when I write a statement or letter and have to mind my word choices, but also to make sure that the finished document is well structured and easily understandable for a stranger. Then I usually choose instrumental EDM, because the lyrics to a song are too much of a distraction and my focus shifts towards fighting the urge to sing along.
Most important, no matter what the task may be, is that the songs are perky to keep my energy levels high and help me get the job done.
