Day 29... #100HappyDays

Sometimes you just have to treat yourself to the good stuff.  Macallan 18, neat.

Day 27... #100HappyDays

Reason #15238432347 I'm digging Amsterdam: this is SO what I'd name my boat too.  I think I've found My People here. 

Day 26... #100HappyDay

I'm in Amsterdam for work this week...and I adore it here.  It's lovely and charming.  The people are nice and they know how to enjoy themselves.  Here's a shot I took of the houseboats lining the canal.  I'm especially impressed the pretty pink flower in the bottom corner (that happened completely by accident!) :) 

Day 25... #100HappyDays

Wheeee...I'm 1/4th the way through with the 100 Happy Days project! Suh-weet!  

Today,  I wanted to say how much I love my Google Chromecast!  I realize I'm probably late to the party, but I honestly didn't even know this existed.  When I decided to "cut the cord" and not pay for cable TV anymore, my Roku XD became my best friend.  My only complaint was that in Hulu and YouTube, there is some "web only" content not accessible via the Roku.  Well, the Chromecast fixes all that! I now can see anything on my TV that I can see on my laptop.  And it's fantastic.  This morning, i watched a ton of YouTube clips of my new obsession, Shameless' Ian & Mickey (<-so. much. love.)

Day 24... #100HappyDays

I have this theory:  work, relationships, family...at least 2 of these things need to be ok for life to feel in control.  The moment the balance tilts, however, it's when things start to get hard.  Struggles are never easy, but made more difficult when they start to feel overwhelming.  I'm having a rough go of it as of late in all 3 areas...but today was a good day at work and because so, I actually felt like I could breathe a little.  Here's a pic of me and a couple of my work buds counting down the minutes until the weekend! 

Cracked...

Do you ever fear that you'll one day crack under all the pressure and stress and emotion of...life?

Somedays I feel like I'm barely holding it together.
