  3. Many people wish to be happy and they bend over backwards trying to fabricate happiness, but they do not realize that happiness is so simple. And I love this list of yours. Happiness--the one that's lasting and real--comes from within.

  9. I've been journaling every day for the past week, and it makes a huge difference! I love it. I'm going to check and see if our local art museum is open these days, since the plague. I know the library isn't, unfortunately. The one I really want to do is the how-to class. That's the perfect suggestion for me, and something I'll be looking for later this afternoon. This is a list that I am going to save and revisit for continued ideas and inspiration.

  10. You've got some great suggestions here. I actually found an online painting class on YouTube that's Halloween themed and let my husband know that we're going to plan our own 'paint night' here at home for date night. It's a relatively cheap option. Most of the supplies can be purchased at the dollar store. The biggest cost is the wine to enjoy while we're painting! Lol

  11. I am up for the challenge! These are great tips, sometimes the smallest things make all the difference. I find journalling, mediation and a daily read to be the most helpful for me. But sometimes you just need to try something different - I will definitely try some of these on your list. Thanks for posting.

Keeping Blogging Positive: The Do’s and Don’ts of Community Support

The Do’s and Don’ts in a Blogging Community If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years of blogging, it’s that the community can be one of the best parts of the whole experience — when we’re actually supporting each other. Blogging isn’t just hitting publish and hoping someone reads it. It’s connecting, showing up for one another, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome to share their voice. But let’s be honest: not every corner of the blogging world feels that way. Sometimes people forget that behind every blog is a real person doing their best. So I wanted to put together a simple, down‑to‑earth list of do’s and don’ts — the things that genuinely help build a positive blogging community, and the things that… well, don’t. Nothing complicated, nothing dramatic. Just the kind of common‑sense, supportive habits that make blogging more enjoyable for all of us. The Do’s: How We Can Lift Each Other Up Do show support in ways that feel natural to you Support doesn’t have to b...
