A family member challenged me to post ten pictures on Facebook that give me joy. The challenge requests a picture a day. I posted that I’d only be sharing flower pictures because I couldn’t think of anything else. But, I did think of pictures to share.
On day one, I posted a picture of my Petunia growing in my window on a very cold day. The window was totally frosted up. I was thankful for the warmth of my tiny apartment.
On day two, I posted a picture of food. I had just had a colonoscopy and was allowed to eat regular meals again.
My cat was the picture that I posted to Facebook on day three. Some of my family members are doing the challenge too. Two of them shared cat pictures on their posts too.
Sunday was day four. I took a picture of my pastor giving a children’s sermon. While I know that church is boring for children, I think it helps them to see how much we care about worshipping God. I also enjoy watching children sing or play at church. I hope they can create plenty of happy memories.
My love of rock painting was posted for day five. I painted a collection of rocks and put them out before our Christmas parade. I was hoping that it would encourage some of the parade goers.
I had no idea what I was going to post for today. Then, I thought of something else that I enjoy. I enjoy collecting rocks and foreign coins.
For day seven, I posted a picture of my books. I love to read.
I shared my love of nature for day eight. I posted a flower picture on Facebook but this is a better picture.
Day nine was a picture of a warm and sunny February day. Wisconsin has had mild winters for the past few years.
My last post is a picture of two birthday cards and a valentine card.
I enjoyed seeing the things that make you joyful. Maybe if more people could recognize the happiness and comfort of things we see everyday or the little collections we amass that fill the corners of our lives, the world would be a better place. We all make a decision every day to be happy or not. I’m glad you chose happy.
