15 week reading spree sounds amazing. Way to go Vinitha. I saw the title of your post and I dropped by rightaway. We should all do happiness posts regularly. It makes us aware of the good things in our life.

oh this sounds like absolute bliss. My life has been so packed and busy that your last reminds me it has been a while since I enjoyed walk or a ‘peaceful’ cup of chai.
I would love to see that horsey. I love how you do so many interesting activities with your son. I was diligently learning from Duolingo until I fell of the wagon last year. Time to start it again.
Take care Vinitha

It is a wonderful list, Vinitha. So this time you are reading Harry Potter to Akku, I believe. It must be fun to go through the books again. I am interested in knowing what does he have to say about Harry’s adventures. No matter how much bad press does Facebook gets, there are somedays when it lights us up with popping up our old memories and photos. Those are the days I feel grateful for it.
May you have many more reasons to keep smiling. Have a wonderful week ahead.
