Even though I'm living a life-long struggle with IBD and have daily chronic pain, I consider myself to be a generally happy person and would say that I have a happy life.
I wanted to share some things that I sprinkle into my days that I believe help me feel the general sense that I have a happy life- not despite the pain, but pain included.
Life is FULL of wonderful things, as well as lots of horrible things.
The world is particularly heavy right now, but any time I can break up the day with any of the things I talk about in this video, my heart feels a little bit lighter and I have a little more energy to participate.
Ps there are time stamps and lots of links to other helpful things in the description of this vid on YT

a friend who brings you food when you are sick, a day at work where nothing much is asked of you, a warm bed on the coldest night of the year, a song that comes up on shuffle when you needed it most, a compliment from a stranger, a beautiful view that shakes you from the monotonous plodding of your routine, all of these things are as divine and miraculous as you choose to believe them to be.

Sleeping is a solid second place.

I've been wanting to do this for yearrrrs. Finally. FINALLYYY.
It doesn't stick to glass, but it does stick to itself.
100% cotton fabric, prewash and dry.
Cut with a shearing scissors to prevent fraying. (Or hem.)
I opted for a 1:1:1 ratio of beeswax, coconut oil, and pine resin. Double boiler to melt.
Apply less and layer the wax as needed.
Mm... Spreading with a spoon did not work as well as a silicone brush.
Iron under parchment paper to spread + seal. (Or bake at 200⁰ F briefly.)
Hottt water + soap for clean up (hands, utensils, etc.)
Cold water to clean the cloths, as needed.
*A steamer can take out any wax mix spills on the floor. (We listen, and we don't judge )
I love it. It made my kitchen smell like pine and propolis.

*Native* Seed B*mbs.
The local wildlife will love you for it.
TLDR: Mix native seeds with soil, clay, and water, forming them into balls and then letting them dry.
Long form:
Native wildflower seeds, compost, clay (powder or clay soil), and water.
Mix Ingredients: Combine the clay and compost in a bowl, ensuring a 3:1 ratio of clay to compost.
Gradually add water while mixing, aiming for a dough-like consistency.
Add Seeds: Incorporate the native wildflower seeds into the mixture.
Form Balls: Pinch off small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, roughly 1-inch in diameter.
Dry and Store: Place the seed balls on a flat surface to dry for 24-48 hours in a cool, shady place. Store the dried balls in a cardboard box until ready to plant.
Distribute: Scatter the seed balls in your desired planting area.
