Sky Watch!!!

The New Year is moving on!!  And I hope you are enjoying it – so far!!! We’ve had some lovely skies for this time of year and I do hope you enjoy these!!

Resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.--Helen Keller

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.— Count Leo Tolstoy

The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.— Henry Ward Beecher

    Okay, I'm going to be happy today if it kills me. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

    I figure you'd be OK with my weird sense of humor. :)

    And like an old baseball player once said, "Keep swinging the bat, you might hit the ball!" Actually, I just made that up!

    Many wise words, Sylvia and beautiful pictures. Happiness seems easy to come by at this time in my life. But it wasn't always so ... I wonder why. I would have to give it some thought. Thank you for your always uplifting thoughts and humor. You have no idea how often you make my day :)

    Each sky so lovely. Especially love the last one with the wispy branches silhouetted against the sky. Lets always seek beauty for the soul even when the world seems to have lost its mind.

    Beautiful photos and great quotes. But I don't agree with today's quote of the day - "The days you work are the best ones" - after working all my life, the best days are the ones I have off, especially if I can spend them with family. Enjoy the rest of the week, Sylvia, and the dogs enjoyed their pats!

    Happy New Year, Sylvia. Oh how I have missed visiting and blogging but I got caught up in the whirl of the holidays and travelling and packing and unpacking. Life just interrupted and so it is. So glad to be back!
