And happy is good these days!
Life on the Bike and other Fab Things
Whether it's one simple yet somehow perfect day or a dreamed about journey finally realized, I never want to forget the joy of the moment or how fortunate I am!
Life on the Bike and other Fab Things 
And if you’re happy, LB, we’re happy.
Thank you, Jim 🙂
These are beautiful shots LB, I love the way you varied the depth of field so the screen is softer in the closer shots 😀
Thanks Joe … I had a couple more that I originally posted and deleted because the screen was distracting
It reminds me of a song from one of my Favorite Movies (Monty Python’s Life of Brian). There is a song in it called, “Always Look at the Bright Side of Life”…..The song really does give a better way to perceive life.
It surely is the right way to view life!
what an awesome chandelier, it would make me happy as well!!! I’m happy you are happy… 😉
Thank you Heather … it’s even prettier when alight with candles
Hope you’re feeling better!
I am most certainly getting there … back to work in 2 days! Keep your fingers crossed for energy!
Sending positive thoughts!
The glass reminds me of Life Savers candy… I was imagining that the orange bits tasted like tangerine. Mmm… tangerine. It was my favorite as a kid!
I digress. 😉
I like the chandelier and would love to see it lit up with candles. Perhaps when you are in a celebratory mood? And, I feel that day is coming soon, LB.
(((O))) <— It's a big hug
Tangerine was my favorite, too!! And I’ll take a photo of the chanelier alight with candles soon – you’ve given me a great idea for the perfect quiet celebration.
Happy is ALWAYS good!! Lovely shots.
Thanks Tina … I’ll be glad to be out and about again, but until then, I “shoots what I sees” 🙂
Your new chandelier is completely original and as you say, ‘cheerful’. (I’m assuming this is in your own gorgeous screened porch). Retail therapy has been my ‘go-to’ fix more than once too. Did someone you know make it for you? I see another visitor here associated it with Life Savers which is rather funny, because Alys and I were just talking about Life Savers. I said my favourite’s were Butterscotch and Grape (sometimes together, LOL) and well, yes Butterscotch is also her all time favourite. We freak each other out at times, really 😀
I hope you get a parcel today and it cheers you up even more 😉 It’s hard even for happy girls to recover from emotional trauma (I know this myself). I tend to lean on friends and try to get sleep and a good walk in. That’s not exactly earth shattering advice but I took a few walks coking on tears only to be met by a squirrel or bird and without a doubt would feel less despair by the end of it. Wish we could go for a walk together but you’d freeze out here today. Take care my friend, hugs xK
The chandelier is even more beautiful when lit with candles. I’ll take a picture of it sometime.
I did not receive a parcel today but knowing that I would be seeing one soon just made my day!! Your comment about happy girls having a tougher time is exactly right … we almost feel a responsibility to stay upbeat and positive and sometimes we just want to complain a bit. So yes … I am lucky to be alive and not have more injury, but it still hasn’t been a piece of cake! Your advice of friends, fresh air, and sleep is perfect. Your compassion and friendship mean much!!
Someday I’ll share a photo of my pitiful smile sans teeth … but in February, I’ll have new ones … unless Santa brings me new front teeth for Christmas – HAHA!
totally get this…happy happy happy
And it’s lovely when alight with candles, too!
