Watching the news makes me anxious. I miss going out to a restaurant with my husband. It's been almost a year since I've seen my grandchildren. I am letting negativity get to me. I am working on this. So let's go happy today!
I bought a bunch of bulbs and tubers online in March to plant in pots. Elephant Ear, Canna Lily and a Turmeric plant. I liked the way that the Turmeric flower looked. Almost like a Bromeliad. It sprouted in April and grew. I had forgotten what the actual plant looked like, so I just assumed that the tall plant was the turmeric plant.
Hmmmm....looks a lot like a sunflower, doesn't it? Yeah. It's a sunflower. Who knows what happened to the turmeric. But that's ok! It's going to look happy and sunny on the patio! And it has a resident! He's been hanging out by the blossom for 2 days now.

Here's a link to the turmeric that was supposed to grow..
Anyhow, on to other happiness. I was on Reddit this morning, trying to avoid the news and politics. At the top of the feed, there's always a question that someone poses. Today it was "What are some VERY comforting facts?" I urge you to go on there and read the comments all the way to the left. People have posted things like, "All of Mr. Rogers' sweaters that he wore on air were knitted by his mother." "Otters hold hands when they sleep so that they don't lose their partner" They are uplifting and comforting, for sure.
If my Reggie doesn't make you happy, nothing will.
Here's hoping that you find some happiness today! Leave something in the comments showing what made you happy today!
