Choosing Joy

 


There is one week to go until election day. My anxiety level skyrockets whenever I think about it or turn on the news. In our house, we are doing our best to not watch too much CNN, which is actually helping with our stress. 




I read this article on Psychology Today's website which offers ideas how to cope withwhat we're all going through: Struggling With Election Anxiety? Basic coping skills can help keep stress in check. I found that making a conscuous choice not to engage in the political happenings in these final weeks has allowed me to have more energy to focus on the positive things happening around me.



With that in mind, I thought we could have a post where we share some good things. What is happening in your community that have renewed you faith in humanity? Have you had a bit of good news you'd like to share? Did you see a comic or heard a groaner that made you laugh out loud? How about posting a picture you took or saw that made you smile? You all get the idea. Let's spread some joy to get us through the next week.

Come Celebrate With Us


           
A VeRy MeRRy UnBiRthDaY to YOU!

With all the drama and stress these days, it is all too easy to forget the important people in our lives and their special day. 

So... today we celebrate our dear Pallotine's Unbirthday! 






Come on in...  We're all mad here...



It's a Tea Party! 


I have my favourite teapot...


and I made some "special" tea for you... wink, wink.

The table is set...
Grab a chair...



                                                                     Everyone Sing.
                                         Come on!  Don't be shy. Belt it out...top of your lungs.  
                                                               You know you want to. 





The cakes have arrived..
TW made them and they look ... interesting!






Happy Unbirthday P.   Guess what?   It is my unbirthday too!  

Yours too?  Wow! What a coincidence. 

Our present is on order.  

And if the Universe is kind... and I believe she is ... it will arrive on Nov. 3rd. 

                           And...it will be the greatest present ever! 

                                Happy Unbirthday to all of us!

Cats... Gotta Love 'Em

There's no doubt that our fur babies bring us so much joy. We love them no matter what. Even when they're naughty, they make us laugh. If you take that, add staying home during the pandemic doing our best to keep busy, things don't always go the way we want them to! 

Last spring, many of us kept entertained by doing jigsaw puzzles. They can be challenging, not only because they're 1000+ pieces, but because our furry friends like to help us. Here are some funny kitties doing their best to help their people.
