It's the simple things in life, like painting and making a big mess that bring so much happiness and cheeky little smiles to children's faces :) Be happy, smile lots and make a mess lol :)
Happiness is a direction, not a place. -Sydney J. Harris
Cathedral Canyon accessed from Lake Powell in Utah is so narrow in some places you can almost reach out and touch the canyon walls. Top of the mesa in the distance is about 1500' above the water level.

During my trip to the Philippines a few months ago I saw many (poor) people.
The interesting thing about them was that when you asked them if they are happy, most of them would say "Yes Sir" with a big smile.
It reminded me that happiness isn't about the many goods we have got. Because in the western parts of the World we have got many, many goods and still are complaining about many useless things.
Real happiness though is found in Jezus Christ, the son of God!
Wearing fabulous shoes (even only for the moment).... or able to find ways to "laugh" even when you feel like crying...
And I want to add... is getting hugs especially when they are so genuine and coming from the heart... is smiles of children who see you like if you are the most fascinating thing.... getting gifts that are so unexpected (like my colleague who gave me a beautiful pair of heels just because...................... xx)
Here I was trying to do something really silly (but I will not devour on details.. haha).... I am wearing one of my all time favorite heels....
For those of "wonderful" you, who read everything I write (thank you... xx) I am almost back to my usual exercise regimes.. ie I am running, walking, stepping, yoga, and recently I just picked up hill climbing... its really great for toning and stream-lining legs..... see for yourself :) :) :)
Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. --Nathaniel Hawthorne

Tomorrowland | Ride to Happiness 06/02/2022 13h40
The entrance sign of Ride to Happiness.
In the summer of 2021, Plopsaland De Panne opened the new "Tomorrowland" zone. Tomorrowland is a large-scale Belgian outdoor dance event in De Schorre in Boom and Plopsa has signed a collaboration agreement with organizer WEAREONE.world. The area really only has one attraction and that is the heaviest launched spinning coaster I've ever had; Ride to Happiness.
I did this coaster in total 5 times, every time a different experience.
The Ride to Happiness
The Ride to Happiness (often expanded to The Ride to Happiness by Tomorrowland) is a steel spinning roller coaster. It is Europe's first Mack Rides Xtreme Spinning Coaster, and holds the record for the most inversions on a spinning coaster. The attraction is themed after the Tomorrowland Music festival.
The ride starts with a slow barrel roll out of the station, leading directly into a standstill on the first launch. After a moment's hesitation, the train is then launched up a steep incline to a peak height of 33.0 meters. Riders navigate an outwards-banked 90° left-hand turn before plunging into a vertical drop over the park pond, which leads to the coaster's signature pair of inversions; a banana roll and a vertical loop. The train passes through a zero-g roll and a pair of banked turns overtop the Supersplash water coaster attraction before entering the second launch. The train navigates an airtime hill mid-launch before soaring up into a double-inverting dive loop. Another airtime hill is traversed, followed by a turnaround and another airtime hill before popping up into the brake run. A final 180° turn to the left leads back into the station. The train's individual cars spin freely throughout the ride.

called happiness because it's what this picture brings me. i love the light in it, and lately i've just been really happy, i'm going to LA in a week and I haven't gone for a while, I decorated my room with some prints off of tumblr, ordered my 50mm 1.4, and I've been shooting a lot lately.
the only really bad thing that happened this week was some dust on my sensor, but we got it off and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it now. yay!
update: i'm now only uploading photos i'm proud of. i dont care how long it takes me, just as long as i keep enjoying it. not fun to be stressed over stuff like this.
As always, happiness is the theme of Toronto's annual Santa Claus Parade which ushers in the Christmas season.

The Fray - Happiness
Happiness is just outside my window
Would it crash blowing 80-miles an hour?
Or is happiness a little more like knocking
On your door, and you just let it in?
Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can’t make it come or go
But you are gone- not for good but for now
Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good
Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never mine to hold
Careful child, light the fuse and get away
‘Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks
Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, that’s probably enough for now
Happiness has a violent roar
Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but you’ll never find it all
But let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, wake up and she’ll be home
Home, home, home

I took this photo while walking around the place I was living at. This girl had just finished gathering water from a local water pump where many people come with carts pulled by cattle and carts simply pushed by people.
Every time I look at this photo it's a great reminder to be thankful for the unsustainable comforts many of us from the West enjoy.
A 20-minute drive north from Marrakech brings you to Chez Ali, billed as an "authentic Moroccan experience." It's actually a bit like a North African Johnnie Fox's experience but in large tents and with horses!
Situated just a few miles out of the city of Marrakech in Morocco, Chez Ali has been welcoming and entertaining guests for more than twenty-five years. The large fort-like arena offers tourists the opportunity to enjoy an authentic Moroccan experience, with musicians, dancers, and a traditional five-course meal served in Moroccan caidal tents, followed by a dramatic Fantasia performance.
Chez Ali can cater for around 2,000 guests at a time in its 20 caidal tents and is often filled to capacity. On arrival guests are led through two lines of rifle-wielding Berber horsemen on their steeds to the tents where dinner is served. Guests are made comfortable in the tents in preparation for their meal, which consists of traditional Moroccan cuisine such as harira soup, lamb tajine, couscous, vegetables, chicken, petit fours and fruit. Wine, beer and soft drinks can be ordered and traditional mint tea ends off the meal. During the dinner, guests are serenaded and entertained by musicians and dancers.
