#100HAPPYDAYS - Day 2

I was just thinking about how much I love clementines.
Then I realized I don't have any memories of eating them when I was a child.
Hmm. That seems weird.
Well, apparently not.
According wikipedia, the market for clementines didn't evolve in the U.S. until 1997 when the Florida orange crop was devastated by bad weather.
Huh. You learn something new every day.

I've been on a clementine kick of sorts, eating 4, 5, or even 6 of them each day for the past week. While I love oranges, they are so much more trouble - more difficult to peel, to section, etc.
Plus until I get another cortisone injection in my bum thumb, holding the orange tightly enough in my left hand really hurts the joint.
Today I peeled a 4 clementines for a snack, stacking them in a little bowl.
They looked so pretty and seeing them sitting there in all their sweet, juicy goodness made me happy.

#100HAPPYDAYS - Day 1

So I've decided to participate in 100happydays.com, partly to live more mindfully on a daily basis and partly to get myself to start using my camera again and to blog.
The past couple of years have been quite difficult at times, hence the radio silence here.
But now I'm ready.
Ready to embrace life to it's fullest.
To recognize the "happy" in my life and document it.
My youngest daughter and I "arted" together.
Actually, she created art and I colored in a coloring book.
I did use fancy pants colored pencils, however.
And doing this simple activity really did make me happy.
