Life's Challenges: Pick One



Other than eating late last night at Dee's, I'm feeling pretty good about this day. Are you feeling it, too? If not, I want you to do something for me (you've got some options)- pick your challenge:


Do one thing you love.
Take one step forward on your dream.
Live something differently.
Love life around you.
Take something ordinary and make it beautiful.
Take a photograph of happiness.

Which are you doing?
Are you inspired enough to write about it, draw it, photograph it?
Will you share?

    I just snapped a photo of some healthy cookies I made last night--and they are surprisingly good. That makes me happy!

    Today I rode my bike to work, and to a taco stand, and to get cookies. Then I spent the evening with my little one at the playground. I slid on the slides, I swung from the bars, and I loved every minute - so did she. Today was a great day!

    Thanks for sharing the positive thoughts. Being stuck inside with a broken foot has kind of bummed me out and today your blog cheered me up. :)
