100 Days Of Happiness

Did you complete it yet (the game, I mean, I know paintings take a while)? :-)

Not even close yet  :-\  I'm currently recruiting forces to tackle the blight. I'm pretty slow with RPGs as I really like to explore (it's even worse with Skyrim as I'm always getting distracted as I run around).

:D I never really got into games like that. I was in MMORPG, but still to this day I think that I was more drawn in by the social aspect (of forming alliances) than the game itself.

BUT as long as you're having fun, explore on! That world looked really richly built. :-)

Yesterday evening I relaxed and played some Dragon Age Origins.
I had this game when it first came out on the Xbox 360 but never completed it so I thought I would try again.

Such a good game! I hope that you enjoy playing it; I know I did when I played it.  :-)

Also wanted to mention that I thought your paintings were pretty neat. ^^

I've played a few MMORPGs too, I had some great fun with them but now I find I'm so sporadic with the time I get to play I end up opting for single player RPGs. It's a fun game though, more tactical than 'hack-n-slash'   :-)

I really am! I particularly love the random conversations the party members have with each other when they're walking around, they do make me giggle! With any luck this time round I'll actually complete it.

Thank you, Blythe <3  I've been having a lot of fun doing them this week.

Yesterday's happiness: My little lady made me a gift <3

[Rhedyn]

This is not my photo but I didn't have a chance to get a picture of the magpie that was in my garden this morning.
I watched it for a few minutes, it was a young bird that had obviously just learned to fly and it was both funny and heart warming to watch it half hop half fly around my garden investigating.
It lost it's balance a couple of times while trying to get on the shed which made it fall, but it used it's wings to catch itself and didn't give up.
There was a lesson there, I think.

[Rhedyn]

Yep, more painting from me today. My favourite so far is this background I layered up on a small canvas.
It was inspired by the colours in the sky yesterday at sunset.

I love the color choices, Rhedyn!  Beautiful job. :-)

[Rhedyn]

Thank you, Caeli! <3

Someone took the words right out of my mouth. Couldn't agree more. :-)

Aww, thanks, Cassandra LeMay! <3

I'm exhausted! Mum visited today and we disposed of a load of old junk that had been sitting around in the garden shed.
After that we went for a walk through the large graveyard near my house and I took some photographs, though not as many as I would like as my camera batteries died shortly after arriving there. There were loads of really beautiful celtic crosses, I'm going to have to go back to take more pictures soon.

[Rhedyn]

Garden visitor!
Again this is not my photo, the squirrel that has been visiting me every morning is happy to sit there outside my window until I actually pick up my camera so I had to find a representation.
The visits have been making me smile though, it's unusual to see them in the gardens where I live but this little guy keeps coming back.
He enters the garden around the same time every morning from my neighbour's fence and scurries across our driveway and lawn.

I fell into a bit of a downer yesterday evening so it was minecraft time. With a lot of my favourite mods having been updated I reinstalled them and played around, first building a work room which, despite being lit fairly well spawned monsters in it to greet me home from my exploration. I decided to build a lava feature to help light it up and here it is. The house above it comes next which I'm looking forward to doing thanks to the furniture mods I have installed   ;D

[Oniya]

Love the lighting fixture!  There are some modpacks that let you hit F7 to show where things are dark enough to spawn (a red X means any time, a yellow X means without sunlight).  Not sure what pack you're playing, or if you're self-installed, but I find them indispensable!

[Rhedyn]

Ohh, now that would be handy! Thank you, Oniya! I'm playing self installed mods so I'll take a look around and see if there's a stand alone mod like that to give it a try.

[Rhedyn]

I had great fun last night building my minecraft lego set.
It was actually my second round making it as the kidlets took it apart the first time to play with it.
Unfortunately I had to search for some of the pieces to finish it again but I did get hold of them.

[jouzinka]

It's super prettyyyy! :-)

[Rhedyn]

It's cute, huh? I'm definitely going to get more of the different sets. They all clip together in different combinations and you can move the separate sections around (that one is made up of four sections). Yep... I admit it... I'm a Lego fan.

[jouzinka]

That makes two of us. Always been a fan of puzzles and building sets and Legos and all that. :-)

[Oniya]

Minecraft = Lego + zombies.  *nods*  How can you go wrong?

Edit:  The F7 thing is apparently part of NEI (Not Enough Items)

[Rhedyn]

Absolutely! Minecraft is the best of both worlds <3

That's awesome to know! I already have NEI installed so I will give F7 a go when I play again. Thanks for the info   ;D

[Rhedyn]

Yesterday's slice of awesome:
Completing chapter 5 of Mice & Mystics which resulted in a close call with the house cat Brody, three of our characters levelling up and some good loot being collected.

[Rhedyn]

On Sunday things seemed to come together for me after a rocky weekend. I realised that people have been coming into my life and are already there that give me so much joy. Whether it be friendship, love, hugs when I'm down or just being there to listen to me vent when I need to without turning me away or making me feel bad for how I'm feeling and changing.

I am so grateful for these people, they all know who they are. I could never adequately express how amazing they are and how much they have helped me but I certainly hope that they know. They are helping me grow into a better, stronger and more confident person and that makes me truly happy.

Another close up snippet of the third blue painting... just a peak until it's done ;)
