Mele Kalikimaka, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanzaa 2022

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. R. W. Emerson

I found a journal and in it, I found: What is your dream? My answers: financial freedom, happy hubby, a blissful heart, and seeing my daughters at least annually.  I found lists of my favorite people, places to visit, recipes, and goals. Writing in a gratitude journal is an exercise for your heart and brain.

Re-reading articles I wrote years ago warms my heart. I wrote a column about happiness monthly for a magazine in Abu Dhabi. The research and essays were some best days.

Today in downtown Dallas, it’s sunny, 25ºF, clear blue skies, and quiet city streets. We’re staying in, playing cards (yep, after 37 married years, my HH has acquiesced to playing card games), drinking homemade egg noggin (+🥃), and eating all the goodies we stocked up on.
