HappyUP!!! - jamming with the neighbor
Why it happened -it just did
Why it makes me happy -we can play together...probably not sing....he's got me on that. It is really cool to be able to toss some lead in there. I hit one little riff that was particularly sweet!

HappyUP!!! - Kindle discovery
Why it happened -I said, "there's got to be a better way"
Why it makes me happy -OMG!!! This may be the highlight of my year so far. I was absolutely AMAZED at how you can organize your highlights. The Kindle still has some drawbacks but THIS strength alone FAR EXCEEDS the benefits of a regular book.
HappyUP!!! - the numbers are turning
Why it happened -vigilance
Why it makes me happy -I'm SOOOOO proud of my fellow Californians (it's not something I can usually say) for physical distancing. We seem to have OVERPREPARED for this pandemic... and I am good with that. We got a ways to go but my spirits were buoyed today.
HappyUP!!! - TM meeting
Why it happened -we keep doing them
Why it makes me happy -we can make them better but our virtual meetings are going SO WELL. I am tremendously proud of our groupW!
Why it happened -I just kept going
Why it makes me happy -only meant to do a shorty but it just felt sooooo good today.

HappyUP!!! Day 5108
HappyUP!!! - "I'm trying on a Monday"
Why it happened -I was on a walk
Why it makes me happy -I asked a walker across the street how he was doing...and I knew EXACTLY what he meant. ThisThing we are all living under has some dark cloudiness to it. I said, "I hear ya brotha." It's good to be together
HappyUP!!! - weightlifter in the park
Why it happened -I was on a walk
Why it makes me happy -I could not believe the rig this guy had brought down to the basketball court to get in his reps. The effort to drag his weights out of his car would have been a bigger workout than I could have done
HappyUP!!! - vegetable boxes
Why it happened -my club is great
Why it makes me happy -can't wait to support my club and dive into the vegetables!

HappyUP!!! Day 5107
HappyUP!!! - grocery store trips
Why it happened -I was depleted
Why it makes me happy -I had a bit of in trepidation due to these Covid times. While my caution was warranted, the mitigation and behaviors I am seeing by my fellow Californians buy
(<---this a="" b="" guy="" handle="" how="" knows="" thunderstorm="" to="">---this>
HappyUP!!! - Incredible Pets
Why it happened -the storms abated
Why it makes me happy -this probably makes the cats happier than me....they were getting hungry! Just kidding....but it would not have been more days!
HappyUP!!! - THUNDERSTORMS
Why it happened -it's weather
Why it makes me happy -I can't remember it coming down THAT hard for as long as it did. It was cool to watch while knowing any flooding would just be streets. Man, it literally was a gully washer. I saw the drain across the street become a fountain spewing up. I can't recall seeing that. I LOVE being inside watching that kind of action
