Happy New Year, Jill! I love the butterfly clip - except for crazy cold weather over Christmas, we have had a mild winter (so far) and I almost expect to see a few butterflies out back. You're almost there with the puzzle! We have a few puzzlers who come into the library and they are completing puzzles at breakneck speed - it's hard to keep up with them!
I've been having difficulties commenting on your new newsletters but today it was kind. I've never done a happiness journal. Always write in my gratitude journal each day, no matter what. Been keeping that up since 2012. I'm not sure how I would define happiness. Gratitude, I get. Hope you had a wonderfilled Christmas and a very happy 2023.
You have such lovely nature around you. I feel like I should pick up a Christmas cactus. (Maybe they're on sale near me! :P ) That sounds like a plant that even I could keep alive.
Fun puzzle!
Years ago I started reading and enjoying Gretchen Rubin's book. Yet, somehow, I never finished it. I remember taking the decluttering chapter very much to heart at the time, though. I need to do another closet cleanse...
I love your video and your inspiring post, Jill. I begin and end each day with gratitude and pray throughout the day for loved ones, our country, and our beautiful planet. Doing so helps me stayed focused on what is truly important in life. Blessings to you and yours... ❤️
Don't know how I missed this newsletter. I usually watch for them in my inbox. I really connected with the quote: “What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.” I need to drill that into my brain. I threw up my hands and stopped writing for a couple of weeks but then I got back on track. I learned that even writing nonsense is better than not writing at all. It's consistency (in all things) that counts!
How sweet to observe butterflies flitting around in early January. You are a joy-bringer, Jill!

The Christmas cactus is a lovely colour, Jill. Off to a beautiful start. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Jill. Lovely footage of the butterfly.
Happy New Year, Jill! Thanks for your joy-filled post…butterfly, flowers, a puzzle….and a happiness journal. All very sweet. Best wishes for 2023! ♥️
Oh the butterfly and pretty flowers make me dream of spring and garden time.
Never seemed to have luck getting the cactus to bloom on time.
Happy New Year, Jill! I love the butterfly on the flowers.
Happy New Year, Jill!!

Beautiful butterfly! Do you know what type? We have Yellow Swallowtails, which are yellow and black, but this guy is black with some yellow…
