HappyUP!!! Day 4824

HappyUP!!! -  a new friend                              

Why it happened - it's the club

Why it makes me happy -I have met this guy before. Never had a chance to talk with him. Cool dude. I'm going to help him out

HappyUP!!! - golf balls                               

Why it happened - Walmart was stocked

Why it makes me happy -I was there for a few items. The balls? Always a guess on whether they will have them in stock...they did! WINNER! Saved me a trip to somewhere else

HappyUP!!! - Power vs Force                               

Why it happened - I was listening to something

Why it makes me happy -I read this book LONG before the author of the podcast did. It was a great reminder of a couple of things. The biggest one was the book itself and the concepts. Nice res-set.

HappyUP!!! - sandy on 12                             

Why it happened - skills

Why it makes me happy - most people don't have THAT shot!

HappyUP!!! Day 4823

HappyUP!!! -  dropping back                              

Why it happened - it was only right

Why it makes me happy - ya know, you really learn some things about people by the things they do... or don't do. Me? It felt good to do the right thing

HappyUP!!! - the Angster                               

Why it happened - I dropped back

Why it makes me happy - LOVE this guy. He's a smart guy. I like that. He gave me a GREAT tip on something AND some insightful information. 

HappyUP!!! - my kicks                               

Why it happened - I bought some

Why it makes me happy - took them out for their first test amble today. THIS is a great pair of covers for the dogs....and....a big hit!

HappyUP!!! - World Cup                               

Why it happened - it's the thing

Why it makes me happy -I don't know what it is. I love when the men play but, for whatever reason, I am really into this year's women't contest. LOVE an upset...got a couple of them today

HappyUP!!! Day 4822

HappyUP!!! - "signs" of a percolation                              

Why it happened - a week off?

Why it makes me happy - putted outrageously well (made 4 putts that you just don't make...and about 4 more that you miss), the bunker game was solid (2 sandies), and hit 4 shots that were of EXTREMELY high quality (not just talking outcome). Yeah...I kind of topped about 4 shots too ...but I drove it a little better. Perhaps my "time in the weeds" (it has been a bit) is coming to an end

HappyUP!!! -World Cup                                

Why it happened - they do that

Why it makes me happy -it's amazing how nasty some people get when you talk about women's soccer. To soccer purists...the ones that are glued to the "whatever" leagues they play in Europe...I get it. Yet, David Beckham was at a game yesterday and cheering...so...he trumps the snobs. It's a sport being played at it's highest level on a world stage. It seems that should be enough. Then, there are those that say, "there is no scoring,"...and these guys will watch a baseball yawnfest for 3.5 hrs.
Nope...I really don't get any of those people. Just happy I am not one of them. 

HappyUP!!! - getting the paperwork submitted                               

Why it happened - there was a deadline

Why it makes me happy - we NEED to do this better! Yet...we got it done. The new fiscal year is looking good

HappyUP!!! - Marianne Williamson being ridiculed                               

Why it happened - people are so small

Why it makes me happy -Marianne can take it. The close-mindedness of the medial is just comical. No, she isn't going to be a serious candidate...but...she is in touch with more people than given credit for. Will her fan base vote for her? Hey, my vote in California doesn't matter but, if it were tomorrow, that is EXACTLY where my vote would go.

HappyUP!!! Day 4821

HappyUP!!! - meeting with a vendor                               

Why it happened - needed to do some updating

Why it makes me happy - learned some things...and how to control a few other thing...nice collaboration

HappyUP!!! - a compliment                                

Why it happened - it was who it came from and the insight

Why it makes me happy - I can run with that gas in that tank for awhile

HappyUP!!! - absolutely gorgeous day                               

Why it happened - it is weather

Why it makes me happy - if the beginning of summer is indicative of the entire season, I will LOVE it! OK...I will figure out a way to love the heat too...but....today was the perfect summer day..that concluded with that wonderful Delta Breeze. I have missed the Delta Breeze the last few years

HappyUP!!! - a playful older cat                               

Why it happened - she is being inspired

Why it makes me happy - my skitty kitty is taking some cues from her little brother. He is showing her that, if she wants attention, she needs to make herself available to it. It's slow...but I am seeing changes in her behavior. 

HappyUP!!! Day 4820

HappyUP!!! -   reviewing a submission                             

Why it happened - learning

Why it makes me happy -the video looked more like I recall it being than how I was told it was. I wasn't as far off as I was told

HappyUP!!! - picking up a "no ID" call                               

Why it happened - I really don't know

Why it makes me happy - "no ID"...who picks up a phone call that says that? Apparently, I do. I don't usually. I am soooo thankful. This was an important one

HappyUP!!! - the garden                               

Why it happened - I have one

Why it makes me happy - well, I don't know about the yields just yet...but they look OK...at least on some of the plants. I'll take a better inventory tomorrow. The cakes are spreading like crazy...don't usually grow those. The new system is making "the juice worth the squeeze."

HappyUP!!! Day 4819

HappyUP!!! - Justin Guitar                               

Why it happened - I dug deeper

Why it makes me happy -I have seen this guy's YouTube...and LOVED how he teaches. I never saw his entire channel. This is a dude I can learn from. Cool

HappyUP!!! - band together again                                

Why it happened - I asked Evan

Why it makes me happy -I could see myself doing this again. I'm not sure that it will happen but, if it does, my attitude has changed a bit around that. 

HappyUP!!! - The Dominator & Wife                               

Why it happened - Downtown Tuesday

Why it makes me happy -GORGEOUS evening....PERFECT outside. Great to see my old friend. It had been longer than I thought.

HappyUP!!! - mentor time                               

Why it happened - it is what I do

Why it makes me happy -I am committed to helping this lady. Her speech today was great. She is going to be fabulous!

HappyUP!!! Day 4818

HappyUP!!! - Park progress                               

Why it happened - my city does that

Why it makes me happy -well, IF they HAD to spend all of that money they did, I guess they might has well have done it right! None of the bridges are open yet but it's an impressive amount of passages they have going down to the park. It will be cool when the bike trail punches through as well. Less than a month to go

HappyUP!!! - US Women's Soccer                               

Why it happened - it's World Cup

Why it makes me happy -they won!!!....BARELY!!!...but...they won. If they lose to France Friday, it won't be a shocker. Today SHOULD have been an upset

HappyUP!!! - the Fifth Agreement                               

Why it happened - an add on was needed

Why it makes me happy - I used to use the Four Agreements when conducting meetings as well as my own life. I got a nice little refresher course in the basic four. I like the 5th one....be skeptical but learn to listen.  This is especially helpful as you hear all of the politics that continue to get ginned up.

HappyUP!!! - invitation                               

Why it happened - my buddy is in town

Why it makes me happy - it is going to be great hearing this guy do a little jamming tomorrow night. Good excuse to get outside on a cooler night

HappyUP!!! Day 4817

HappyUP!!! -this week's Toastmaster                                

Why it happened - initiative

Why it makes me happy -I LOVE to see a member go BEYOND what is required. It is a character thing. I just love that

HappyUP!!! -an Icebreaker coming                                

Why it happened - a new member

Why it makes me happy -see above. I LOVE the initiative that is being demonstrated. I believe that INITIATIVE  is a thing that our world lacks in...and that anyone can up their game in. So, when I see it, it gives me hope

HappyUP!!! - sociopath/psychopath research                                

Why it happened - I had a bookmark

Why it makes me happy -I am SO GLAD that I don't have this disruptive force in my life as we speak. I never have when under my control...but....it has existed on my periphery. This reminder I saw today will equip me to help others. Yeah...it is a thing. Get just ONE of these people near you and it is bad news

HappyUP!!! -super scramble                                

Why it happened - I was hungry

Why it makes me happy -I just had ALL of the best stuff on hand....different sausage and vegetables....and it was just AWESOME brekko

HappyUP!!! Day 4816

HappyUP!!! -  that putt on 9                              

Why it happened - I NEVER give up

Why it makes me happy -when the tree slapped the ball back to me on my second shot...with a TON of importance ($$$) on the line...most would get mad, slam a club...whatever. I calmly said, "OK..that was a bad break...back to business..."...and hit the nicest little hooked, low 7 iron to 40 feet on the green. All you want is a chance....and...that chance?...today..it was MONEY!!! It turned a LOSS into a win on the front

HappyUP!!! - pinch wedge 14                                

Why it happened - I got skills

Why it makes me happy -the tees are up...I nailed that drive...NOPE, not that far with the big hitters...but very well placed. That is only part of the equation. I took the risk of taking the big stick out...HIT the drive...but then pinched a wedge RIGHT THERE on the money

HappyUP!!! - Permission Granted...Permission Terminated                               

Why it happened - people are small

Why it makes me happy -I am doing some tests on people's opinions and minds. This was a great one today! It gives me great joy to see how small some people think....I see nothing but opportunity there.

HappyUP!!! Day 4815

HappyUP!!! - TJ's                               

Why it happened - I needed stuff

Why it makes me happy -so grateful I can make such a simple run to get what I need at last minute

HappyUP!!! -Carolinas                                

Why it happened - I get hungry

Why it makes me happy -it just fit in nicely with my late errands. I JUST LOVE how easy it is to get in and out of there with some great Mexican food

HappyUP!!! - my grit                               

Why it happened - a decision

Why it makes me happy -OK...today was a tough day...no big...I kept it from being a total disaster. Oh yeah, we got the crap beat out of us on the course...I was struggling...but...kept up the fight. That is all you can do when the opposition is throwing everything at you...and..you don't have a strong answer.

HappyUP!!! Day 4814

HappyUP!!! - a tuna melt                               

Why it happened - I was out and about

Why it makes me happy -LOVE going to the gas station for the best sandwich in Roseville

HappyUP!!! - helping out a friend                               

Why it happened - I was asked

Why it makes me happy -just blessed to be in the position to be able to assist in a pinch...in many ways. Yeah...life is good

HappyUP!!! - guitar vid on major pentatonic                               

Why it happened - it was suggested byYouTube

Why it makes me happy -I "kinda" new this...but now I KNOW the why...and the how...of this working. Playing the major pent instead of the minor pent at times....the fretboard is really expanding. It makes more sense.

HappyUP!!! Day 4813

HappyUP!!! -   birdie on 13                             

Why it happened - the bladie wedge

Why it makes me happy -my opponent had just holed the most unlikely of shots...a pitch in from 75 yards from under the trees. I was just short of the green. Many would take out the putter....but I WANTED to MAKE IT!...and chose the riskier shot. BOOM! Fabulous topper!

HappyUP!!! - Hard Days Night                               

Why it happened - opened an old book

Why it makes me happy -it didn't take long...even figured out the signature lick. Nope...I like the Beatles but not a huge fan to where I know many of their tunes. This one?...it's kind of cool to play...especially with that lick.

HappyUP!!! - a snark                               

Why it happened - peeps are like that

Why it makes me happy -I saw it for what it was. I handled it well...not perfectly...I know what perfectly is now. It will come up again. I shall be ready

HappyUP!!! - post-golf shower                               

Why it happened - a new habit

Why it makes me happy -I LOVE our club...and, after a hot day and before "settling affairs" on the 19th hole, I take a few minutes for a cold shower...get the heat off of me. I just LOVE doing that! This is a little habit I just picked up. 

HappyUP!!! Day 4812

HappyUP!!! -  a guest                              

Why it happened - she looks us up

Why it makes me happy -after the meeting...having a chat about whether this club is for her...she asked, "30 years? Why do you still come?" Without missing a beat, I said, "I am looking at it." Yeah, she will be joining...but, more importantly, it was just a confirmation of what I do

HappyUP!!! - J's speech                                

Why it happened - she stepped up

Why it makes me happy -I was the Toastmaster today...had some cancellations. I couldn't be more proud of this member stepping up...in a HUGE way1 Such growth!

HappyUP!!! -  chat with P                              

Why it happened - he called

Why it makes me happy -lunch is coming...LOVE this guy!

Why it happened - I do that

HappyUP!!! Day 4811

HappyUP!!! - guitar licks                                

Why it happened - I was noodling

HappyUP!!! - a gorgeous day...and an open calendar                                

Why it happened - happenstance

Why it makes me happy -there is NOTHING I enjoy more...than a day where I have nothing planned...where I can wander....just a FABULOUS day

HappyUP!!! Day 4810

HappyUP!!! - Fathers Day                               

Why it happened - we do that stuff

Why it makes me happy - a few thoughts about dad and POW days. Time with my family. I LOVE that they LOVE to entertain. Swimming...some KILLER steaks and avocado

HappyUP!!! - playing hard on back 9                                

Why it happened - I needed to

Why it makes me happy -the front was an "S-show." Made a couple of boo boos on the back but, considering the way things has gone, finished as strong as I could. May even have found that "one little piece" that has been missing.  INSANELY good bunker shot from the upslope on 15

HappyUP!!! - US Open                               

Why it happened - it's a thing

Why it makes me happy -nice to see a nice guy, Gary Woodland, hold up under the pressure. Lovely setting there at Pebble Beach...would have been nice to see some wind. The marine layer made me remember that Monterey is only a few hours away anytime it gets a little toasty here.

HappyUP!!! Day 4809

HappyUP!!! - home to sign                               

Why it happened - got lucky

Why it makes me happy -missed a delivery yesterday. Thrilled they came late today so I could put this little baby to use right away! Focusrite!

HappyUP!!! - bunker play                               

Why it happened - skills...and a bit too much practice

Why it makes me happy -I'm at an extremely high confidence level in the sand right now. Got two up and down and one on the green from the fairway. Making me some $$$

HappyUP!!! - cool new kix company                               

Why it happened - I did a search

Why it makes me happy - ordered a couple of pair...hope they fit. Love the shoes and the company's story

HappyUP!!! Day 4808

How about this little guy resting right off my
right hand while I work! ZenUP!!! to the max

HappyUP!!! - bubble gum, bailing wire, and duct tape                                  

Why it happened -I got skills

Why it makes me happy -the driver gets better...TOMORROW! It WILL! I'm doing well to keep things together...scrambling....putter feels great in my hands. Chipping touch is pretty sweet too. When I get the ball in play off the tee, it is going to be lights out!

HappyUP!!! - salmon

Why it happened -I bbq'd

Why it makes me happy - I put a NICE dill and S&P season on that one. I will do that one again....really soon...like early brekko tomorrow!

HappyUP!!! - guitar work

Why it happened -I do that

Why it makes me happy - I'm making some strides...breakthroughs. I just need a bit of structure and discipline now. I have definitely fulfilled the goal for the year

HappyUP!!! - omelette w/brat

Why it happened - I was hungry

Why it makes me happy- what a lovely little way to start my day...throw that salmon on the side above....yeah...eating well!

HappyUP!!! Day 4807

HappyUP!!! - "Nice Lady"                                  

Why it happened - I was being nice

Why it makes me happy - made the comment to the cashier about the person behind me, "hey, we are in the presence of a nice lady...look at all of those flowers she is buying for people." She giggled, "..and she just looks like a nice person too."  She said "thank you" and, yep, at the cost of nothing except paying attention, I made someone's day

HappyUP!!! - weight loss

Why it happened -she felt she needed to?

Why it makes me happy -hadn't seen one of my neighbors in a bit. I was taken aback, "have you been losing weight or what?"  Turns out...over 100 pounds!!! I would have never guessed she had that much to lose. Triple digit loss is impressive at any age but this lady is 63. 

HappyUP!!! -neighbor conversation

Why it happened - they approached me

Why it makes me happy - we got to know each other a little better. I put aside a notion they had. I also gave them a solid reason we need MORE conservatives in California....just for balance. Texas needs more liberals. It is just how it should be.

HappyUP!!! - tomatoes showing

Why it happened -I planted...and water

Why it makes me happy-one of my tomatoes is actually turning color. I can't believe it. There is a chance that I will be getting tomatoes WAY before the 4th of July!

HappyUP!!!! Day 4806

HappyUP!!! -2 birdies                                   

Why it happened -some great shooting

Why it makes me happy -when you aren't hitting it really well, birdies are like a tall, cool glass of water in the desert! Pretty 9 iron on 6 and a VERY well played pitch shot on 4.

HappyUP!!! - pitch shot on 2

Why it happened -skills

Why it makes me happy -I made a bogey on 1. I didn't want to start with two of them. The pitch shot I had was difficult and tricky. For some reason, I thought that I was going to make it. I hit it...it released nicely, picked up some speed on the downslope, made a turn for the hole and ...BAM!!!...a violent lip out. It was harder than I made it look

HappyUP!!! - Stanley Cup

Why it happened -they do that

Why it makes me happy -who doesn't love a game 7...in any sport? It was nice to see St Louis get their first one. You just have to love that as a fan of sport

HappyUP!!! Day 4805

HappyUP!!! -US Women Soccer                                  

Why it happened -it's the World Cup

Why it makes me happy -YEP! Beat the hell out of them! Let the people bitch about poor sportsmanship. You play soccer to score goals....PERIOD! They made it rain. 

HappyUP!!! - Robert Johnson documentary

Why it happened -I was Netflix surfing

Why it makes me happy - I knew a little about this legend...and now I know a lot more. He was a very interesting character. It appears he started the "27 Club" that Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, Jim Morrison, etc. He is a mythical creature. Great to get some education

HappyUP!!! - Anthony Jeselnik

Why it happened -Netflix

Why it makes me happy -OK...this guy is bad....but so dang funny! I was delighted when I saw he had a special on that I hadn't seen. This guy takes a concept.....and digs deeper into it than about any comic I know.  His cocky stage persona is almost as funny as his jokes

HappyUP!!! Day 4804

HappyUP!!! -  a squeaky clean outlook                                 

Why it happened -I took action

Why it makes me happy -it's not the cheapest thing to do but, considering it took two professionals about 3 hours each to clean all my windows, I'm patting myself on the back for that move. Keep me off the roof!

HappyUP!!! - Qballous wins over new fans

Why it happened - see the above

Why it makes me happy - those guys were in and out of the house the entire time. They have a job to do. Apparently, and not to my knowledge, they caught him and put him back in the house a few times. Still, toward the end of the day, they yelled, "Scott, we LOVE your cat!"

HappyUP!!! - Masterclass

Why it happened -I do that

Why it makes me happy -it's an exciting new day at MindValley. I can see them getting some momentum off of this deal. The ONE hesitancy I had about referring them is gone. Removing all of the options makes me assured that my friends will get EXACTLY what I have available to me. This is some life changing stuff. 

HappyUP!!! - practical submission work around

Why it happened -my friend tipped me off

Why it makes me happy- it's not in yet...but...by the time I get done with this post...it should be. So glad I got the recommendation!

HappyUP!!! Day 4803

HappyUP!!! - scrambling                                  

Why it happened -sketchy ball striking

Why it makes me happy -it wasn't pretty....but I carved out a decent score (and a NICE WIN) today because I still have a bit of touch around the greens. It's a nice thing to fall back on.

HappyUP!!! - my golf course

Why it happened -the superintendent and the weather

Why it makes me happy - I have been back to where I started golf for 8 years. I do not know how but, as I walked the fairways this morning, I could not help but notice the excellent condition the track is in. It has never been better. One of my playing partners mentioned the same thing. Beautiful

HappyUP!!! - birdies

Why it happened -VERY nice shots

Why it makes me happy - despite being a substandard striking day, I did hit 4-5 shots that you can go an entire round...an entire week...without hitting. The 8 iron on 7 from a blind place was sweet...and so was that 15 foot right to lefter. The 9 iron on 15 was 2 inches from flying in the cup. Just need to get the driver behaving and I may be on to something.

HappyUP!!! - party and ping pong

Why it happened -a coming out party of sorts

Why it makes me happy-my buddy and his GF wanted to show off their pad. Nice spot in a super neighborhood. The ping pong tournament was fun and enjoyed by all who participated. I hadn't slapped the little ball back and forth in years (it was once a passion). 

HappyUP!!! Day 4802

HappyUP!!! - Comcast WiFi                                  

Why it happened -I am a customer

Why it makes me happy -right before an important Zoom meeting, my systems went "you aren't connected to the server." I was connected to my wifi...but my modem wasn't getting me anywhere. Sure, I did the stops and reboots...nothing. Then, in my wifi choices, I saw Infinity customer...BAM! I kept the appointment

HappyUP!!! - life changing guidance

Why it happened -I'm an RTT practitioner

Why it makes me happy -I LOVE pointing people in the direction....that they have told me they want to go....even though....they didn't realize what that direction was. Giving them permission to see things differently....and, when they do....yeah...it's why I am here. Great session today regarding confidence and trust in one's own thoughts

HappyUP!!! -systems back up

Why it happened -who knows

Why it makes me happy -I did my meeting described above. I figured my day would have time carved out figuring out what the heck happened. NOPE! It appears time cured the ills. Everything from printer to connectivity was right back on line when I went to "fix" it.

HappyUP!!! - not golfing

Why it happened -the tournament failed the test

Why it makes me happy-did I do all I could today? NOPE...but I did a bunch. A bunch more than I would have had I just "followed the sheep" like I usually do every year. Hey, it's a great tournament. It is a lot of fun. I just have much better things to do. 

HappyUP!!! Day 4801

HappyUP!!! - a GIANT                                   

Why it happened -who knows

Why it makes me happy -see that tiny tomato plant? It was planted way after my other ones. It was an after thought. It's not even 6 inches tall. Yet, today, I saw it bear a fruit as big as my other plants that are on the top tier of their cages. THIS guy (or maybe a gal...they seem to overachieve) is my hero for this year's garden!

HappyUP!!! - Warriors Game

Why it happened -it's the playoffs

Why it makes me happy -if the Dubs win or lose, I got no skin in this. There is a very interesting dynamic going on, however. It is wonderful to watch. The best team, the Raptors, is playing the defending champions who are depleted of their talent. If the Dubs were at full strength, this would not even be a contest...yet...the Dubs are trying. Durant WILL play in game 5...he is set up to be a legend. There is no downside to him stepping on that court.

HappyUP!!! -garage reorganization

Why it happened -part of the plan

Why it makes me happy -well, there is a part of me that says, "I could have done so much more." Sometimes I listen...sometimes I just go, "yep, you are right...but nothing could have easily been done too....so shut the hell up!" Progress...it's a good thing

HappyUP!!! Day 4800

HappyUP!!! - being the client                                  

Why it happened -it was my turn

Why it makes me happy -I received clarity....aggressive Zen...the Cat and the Dolphin...the Wizard...tremendous discernment

HappyUP!!! - a reschedule

Why it happened -a renegotia

Why it makes me happy - we agreed to "cut corners" a bit. Upon reflection, it didn't work for my partner. I'm glad we found a better way

HappyUP!!! - stuff to basement

Why it happened -it needed to

Why it makes me happy -a huge step? No. But, it was a step I hadn't taken. It's all about micro-movements daily. They add up over time. I can see the prize...it's still out there a ways...still a little fuzzy...but it is compelling

HappyUP!!! - garage painting

Why it happened - it's part of the plan

Why it makes me happy- the cabinets in the garage are a part of the metamorphosis that is going on. Big pat on my back for doing this extra little step. Ready to rock and roll!

HappyUP!!! Day 4799

HappyUP!!! -  blog post                                 

Why it happened -I do those

Why it makes me happy - GREAT IDEA for a running one today....and it has cross-benefit/utilization potential. No...the blogpost isn't here...it's over at Scottnutter.com

HappyUP!!! - birdie on one

Why it happened -a wickedly good putt

Why it makes me happy - it wasn't for long but we actually were winning at one time today...after ONE! Everything after that was a butt kicking we received. It was OK...haven't seen that many birdies thrown against me in as long as I could remember. Expensive...but a joy to watch.

HappyUP!!! -staying under 100

Why it happened -lucky

Why it makes me happy - weather.com says we topped out at 99...the Ol Nutter Almanac doesn't take a "one off, BS" hit in the count. It's set at only 10 or less this year. Every day counts

HappyUP!!! -meat loaf

Why it happened -I bought one Monday

Why it makes me happy- I think saying, "meat loaf," should be reason enough. Yet, it does need to be good...and this definitely was! Multiple meals are coming from this baby!

HappyUP!!! Day 4798

HappyUP!!! - Shining Members                                  

Why it happened - they do that

Why it makes me happy -so proud of J's confidence, B's ingenuity, T's smile and ease, and M's first time out running the meeting. Great job. Super efficient meeting

HappyUP!!! -  Mayne Island

Why it happened - call with a friend

Why it makes me happy -I learned all about the entire South Channel/San Juan Island connection (they basically are on string of islands that should be called the same thing...BUT...can't have that due to being in different countries). Great time catching up

HappyUP!!! - Haircut

Why it happened - I do that

Why it makes me happy -loved dropping in on my favorite shear toting lady today. I even got a bit of work done

HappyUP!!! - submission plan

Why it happened -I was inspired

Why it makes me happy-I think this will WORK!!! TimeSAVER!!!

HappyUP!!! Day 4797

DAMN! I just love this little sack of potatoes

HappyUP!!! -extra time                                   

Why it happened -I renegotiated

Why it makes me happy -I needed an extra half  hour. I could have made my appointment on time but would have been stressed to finish up what I was doing. I asked for a half hour. My client said that he would do great with an hour. Nice win on both sides...stress avoided...all because I asked

HappyUP!!! -  chicken salad

Why it happened -grocery shopping

Why it makes me happy -I don't eat enough salad. I picked up some ready made chicken meat...DELICIOUS and healthy dinner

HappyUP!!! - client session

Why it happened - I help people

Why it makes me happy -interesting learnings on this one. There was even one trait that I could definitely relate to....well...there were 2.  It just furthers my hypothesis that "everybody's got something."

HappyUP!!! Day 4796

HappyUP!!! - reGAINING the NutterCUP!!!                                  

Why it happened -my brother

Why it makes me happy - great to see him play so well... especially when I was pooping my diaper.  Also, we now have a 3-1 margin...and a dollar lead. That 2 footer I had to "tap in" for the win on 18 might as well of been a 5 footer. Yeah, other combatants may SAY "this is no big deal," but, if they get real....they KNOW they want to win! If they don't, I wouldn't want to play.  GREAT times with the family!!!

HappyUP!!! - Warriors Win!!!

Why it happened -DeMarcus Cousins

Why it makes me happy - OK...Cuz didn't help himself in Sacramento...BUT...he was mistreated by a Kings organization that only attracts good things by dumb luck and, when they do, they do their best to mishandle it. With all of the injuries, it was GREAT to see him be the difference in last night's game. Deep down, Boogie is a good guy. Look no farther than work he kept doing in this town...long after he was lied to and put in harm's way year after year by an inept organization.  Hope the organization is getting better...jury is out on that topic

HappyUP!!! - a sub joining us at the turn

Why it happened - we are attractive

Why it makes me happy - it allowed me to walk the entire 18 holes. I much prefer walking to riding

HappyUP!!! - helping an acquaintenance

Why it happened - I made myself available and trusted my intuition

Why it makes me happy- I have been given tremendous gifts. It is my responsibility to repay the universe by assisting others with the tools I have been provided. Today...I did that

HappyUP!!! Day 4795

HappyUP!!! -  a left hand answer                                 

Why it happened -I do the practice

Why it makes me happy - The non-dominant brain....there is no question that we have fairly easy access to a MINIMUM of double our existing brain power.....without even doing any deep work. When you tap into that, life gets easier and juicer.  That is a no-brainer WIN!!!

HappyUP!!! - walking to the course

Why it happened - my truck is out on a humanitarian effort

Why it makes me happy - glad that I have other vehicles and I can offer this favor/service. It is my way of helping. It was also great to walk through the neighborhood with my golf buggy. My "peers" would think this odd..."I could have given you a ride."  While generous, why do I walk the course? For exercise. It only makes sense I would want to walk a bit extra over and back to the club. This will probably become a regular practice. It's a touch less strain on the environment as well.

HappyUP!!! - trading vids with a buddy

Why it happened - I reached out

Why it makes me happy - I LOVE being able to juggle. No, not to join the circus or to show off... but to have it be an example on what 5 minutes a day on something can do or result in. EVERYONE can find 5 minutes to improve themselves or start to develop a new skill or behavior. If you end up digging it, you will find more time for it. If it's a "it's cool but not really something I want to move forward," you end up with something like I have...the ability to fairly easily and competently do the three-ball cascade. No....no 4th ball or chainsaws in my future.

HappyUP!!! - 3 birdies

Why it happened - putter was working

Why it makes me happy- good putting...and birdies....equals BIG WINS! It helps that my partner really laid it down today as well. Nice to see him shoot the lowest number he has in awhile
