What makes me happy part 25

Having Irish coffee at work (the non-alcoholic kind, of course).

International-themed potlucks:  Irish cider Pie, Irish soda bread, Guinness beef stew (I made - kinda ehh), and Irish Rose drink (the non-alcoholic version again).

Finding the most delicious recipe for vegan mac and cheese.

And, as always, this guy.  

My month of happy posts complete!  What did you all think?

Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.

The smell of sweat and hard work early in the morning.

Ingredients gathered to make Guinness Beef Stew.

Enjoying left-over ingredients with some zucchini chips.  

If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.

Spending time with my two bestest pals.  

"What day is it,?" asked Pooh.
"It's today," squeaked Piglet.
"My favorite day," said Pooh.

Spending an evening being girly.

I come to you tonight with a plea that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight.

Pretty songs...

What makes me happy part 20

Potlucks at work.  This week our theme was "red"...couldn't you tell?  From The top going clockwise, a red dino cookie, homemade strawberry fruit rollups (I made), Red Velvet Chocolate chip Cookie (I made), Baked apple (I made), strawberry jello, red tortilla chips, and salsa.  Yum. 

Home recipes that work - a fruit fly catcher.  Gross.

When you're the strong one, people don't give you permission to hurt.
