Watching children swim and play is a reminder to me to stop sweating the small stuff. To try to capture some of their attitude. Life doesn't have to be as difficult or boring as we make it, it can and is full of fun, we adults just have find it.

Swan lake!
Bowen Island is near where I live. This wonderful display of nature was on the lake there. When I look at her I relax, and realize the beauty that is all around us.

HAPPINESS HACKS On: Clutter
I watch the t.v. show Hoarders. It always makes me feel better. I realize that my small piles here and there are not so bad. Yes, they need to be gone through, but I can walk through my house, it's clean and kept, and I am doing a pretty good job.

HAPPINESS HACKS On: Clutter
I have been organizing, purging and decluttering thanks to a great book called. "Throw away 50 things". It's so freeing to get rid of stuff that I don't use, or want or haven't finished. Whether it be physical clutter or emotional clutter. Freedom.

Watching the womans free skate at the olympics last night. I was reminded that happiness comes from courage, the ability to overcome sadness and adversity. Joannie took bronze, but we all would have cheered for her even if she had come in last.

Canada beat Russia last night, the first time in 50 years. They also made olympic history and broke the record for the most goals scored in a first period. That put a big smile on my face.
