What’s bringing you joy?
I’ve started practicing yoga. It’s been about two weeks and I love it. I like pushing my body to do the poses and finding out that most of the time I can actually do more than I thought I could. And if I can’t, that’s another opportunity to get better.
Thanks for asking this question. Have a nice one.
I have friends and a family who care about me, and I’ve been listening to one of my new favorite podcasts, “You’re Wrong About”.
That’s about all that’s getting me through life right now.
I quit my unecessarily stressful job with no plan next, and I feel like anything is possible now!
Anarchism and Syndicalism—Anarcho-syndicalism bring me joy, alongside Debian and Linux.
Im happy in life because I don’t have to use Windows and proprietary software that limits my freedom to modify my system to my liking.
Actually, the thing that is causing me stress is also my source of joy.
I quit weed last week. Going through withdrawals which are pretty bad, but I know in the long term, it’s going to be worth it to have a clear mind.
Been there too many times to count, you got this!
I quit a higher paying job to move to the Columbia River gorge. Sure I make a lot less money but I’m so happy being out in this beautiful area. There’s something calming about it
Dude, that’s awesome!
This post. There are a lot of negative news in the world and Lemmy feels often pessimistic. Reading everybody’s answers made me feel lighter, so thank you for the question
I’m glad you are enjoying it, and as am I, it’s been so nice to read about all the good in everyone’s lives.
I feel like Lemmy is kind of like anything else in that you get out of it what you put into it to a degree.
My crow bro, Kenny. Most days I go for a walk after work and meet up with him to feed him some peanuts or dog food.
This is so fucking cool, nobody I know has a crow bro. How did y’all grow to be friends?
Crows are smart. Look at them and toss some unsalted peanuts in their general direction and they’ll understand what you’re doing. After a couple of visits they’ll recognize you and slowly get more relaxed around you. They each have their own personalities, where some will be easier to befriend than others, so just give them space and time.
A friend just had his first kid yesterday, he’s so happy it’s honestly contagious. Everyone in our group is already doting the kid and he’s only 12 hours old.
New life is the gift that keeps on giving ❤️
What’s bringing me joy ? When I go back home after a day of work and my daughters (7y) run towards me with a real smile. Knowing that she is really happy to see me.
Aw man, that’s the best stuff, isn’t it
I’ve got a great Plexi sound from my Helix and Les Paul for playing Led Zeppelin numbers.
Wedding prep
I think a lot of people find that stressful, but really you get to tailor a big party that includes all of the closest people in your life to see you celebrate love
I’m more excited for the future after the wedding, to be honest, haha. It’s just most fun to be in the moment right now is all.
The home server im setting up. I can finally break free of the clutches of cloud storage.
Oh buddy, I’m right there with you. I just got a free cpu and mobo off marketplace and got my own thing running, I had so much fun figuring it all out
What? people just give away computers?
I live in the US, and with the state of things I have decided to make my life more analog and disconnected this year, and for the foreseeable future. Instead of online games, I do puzzles and listen to audiobooks. Instead of doom scrolling for hours, I’ve decided I’m going to start backpacking. Instead of watching so much TV, I’ve been reading more.
All of these things are helping bring me peace. I’ve been pack training with my dog, which means doing longer day hikes with a heavy pack for each of us, and it’s just been so nice. I’m losing weight without trying (which is a good thing as I’m overweight), I’m seeing parts of my area I’ve never seen, and spending fantastic quality time with my dog. This weekend we’re doing a shakedown car camp to see how he does in my smaller backpacking tent and I am SO excited. In 3 weeks we go on our first backpacking trip with a friend, and I’m already dreaming of future trips. All of this is huge for us because I’m allergic to the sun (literally) and he (my dog) is very sensitive to heat, and allergic to wasps (we have to carry epipens for him) so deciding to spend time outdoors has taken a lot of consideration, determination and planning, but we’re doing it. I’m so excited for the adventures we’ll have, I can’t even put my emotions into words.
My wife
A good life partner really makes it all easier imo
For sure. I certainly think i have lucked out with her, knowing how little of an idea I had about almost anything when i got married:D
