Focus On What We Have
I have switched to a low carb lifestyle (for health reasons). There are a lot of foods I can’t eat anymore.
And that is a bit sad.
But it is less sad when I focus on all the foods I can still eat and the new foods I’ve discovered due to this lifestyle change.
And those foods are plentiful. And delicious. And are sources of great joy.
(smiles)
If you’re also dealing with some changes in your life, try to do the same. Yes, mourn what has been lost. That’s part of being human. But also try to focus on what you have, on the joyous moments that remain.
Happiness is rare and wonderful. Revel in it.

Compliment Yourself Today
When I’m looking for an easy and quick way to spread joy, I will often compliment a stranger. I will tell a stressed-out young mom that I love her blouse. I will tell a grumpy old guy that he has a great hat. I will tell a cashier at the grocery store that she’s doing an amazing job.
This never fails to make people a little bit happier.
And if it gives other people joy, think of how it will make YOU feel.
Look in the mirror and tell yourself you’re going a good job. You got through the day and that’s truly the only task that matters. Tell yourself you’re strong. Tell yourself you have a beautiful heart. Tell yourself you are loved.
Because you are all of those things. And you deserve to hear that!

Dollar Store Books And Giving Back
The Dear Wonderful Hubby purchased a bunch of children’s books at a nearby Dollar Store and I’ve been restocking the neighborhood Little Free Library with them.
You might be thinking,
‘The books cost $1. People can buy those books for themselves.’
First thing, the Dollar Store is now the One Dollar And Twenty-Five Cents Store.
(grins)
Inflation is a kicker.
And, when I was a kid, my Awesome Mom couldn’t spare $1 for awesome things like books. We didn’t always eat. That $1 was much needed for food and other life essentials.
So yes, Dollar Store books freely given to people DO make a difference. They’ll give people joy.
And isn’t it amazing that we can make others happy with $1.25?
(smiles)

There Will Always Be Joy
I know that life can be tough right now. All might seem bleak. And we worry about the future.
But know there will always be joy. There will always be love. There will always be laughter.
I know this for certain because I grew up in a hostile environment. My dad was a monster. We never knew if we’d survive an interaction with him. We were dirt poor. Some days, we didn’t eat. We didn’t have running water. The bathroom was an outhouse or, sometimes, a hole in the ground. The winters were long and cold.
But stars, we had some laughs. (smiles) We would swim in the storm-water-filled ditches, rolling in the mud. We would tell very bad jokes. We would bump shoulders and smack backs and lovingly call each other silly names. We had fun.
And you and I will have fun in the future.
That is a certainty, my friend.
(big hugs)

Cyborgs And Resilience
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this plant in our travels.
It was growing in a tiny crack in the sidewalk. And it was not only surviving. It was thriving. The plant, a weed some people might call it, was almost as tall as my knees and it is baring fruit/seeds! Look at how healthy and strong it is!
It reminds me of the cyborgs. They weren’t given the best start. The Humanoid Alliance, their manufacturers, hurt them in all the ways a being could be hurt.
Yet they survived. They escaped. They are now thriving. They’re finding lasting love, manufacturing offspring, living their best lifespans.
That gives me hope for all of us. (big hugs)

B Free
B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.
Or so he believes.
When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.
What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.
Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.
When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.
She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.
Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.
