Good morning and happy Sunday to begin with…
If I were to open up a shop, I would sell handmade products for dogs like blankets, beds, collars and leashes, toys, dog ice cream and treats, etc., you get the idea. It may not be a realistic option, especially if everything is made by myself. But the passionate dog lover that I am, what else would I do? 🐾💗
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!]
Oh these silly quizzes, I tell you! And here is yet another one: the first three words type of quiz. Do you want to know what I found? Better still. Do you want to know how long it took for me to find three dang words? Boah! Usually I find them right quick. But today…. [crickets chirping] ….it took a L.O.N.G. frigging time. The three words I finally found are [drum roll, please] Love, Happiness and Positive Change (the latter counts as one, I guess). My reaction?
Love: I lost my belief in love quite some time ago.
Happiness: Very likely, because being happy is my choice, every single day anew.
Positive [Change]: Call me clueless. I guess I’ll have to stick around to find out.
It’s been a good laugh. And on a sad day like today, that’s really important.
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
26) ice cream when it’s cold outside
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 🍀😊

Definitely true for me. And still, the realization is better late in life, than not at all. Happy Sunday!!
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.
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?

Yes, absolutely. Happy Sunday!!
🇳🇿 I would be thrilled beyond words about two free plane tickets to New Zealand. 🇳🇿
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 🌙✨
