Start with the fact that you woke up and your mind works.

Not having to worry about food, shelter, basic needs, or people trying to kill you.
Everything else is gravy after that.

Nice pics. Especially that last one, thanks!!!

A hammock is nice.

Coffee, just coffee! lol

I spent Friday at the beach with a very dear friend. I have found that times like that are more satisfying than any amount of money can buy.

To be still breathing when you lay your head down.

To have a reason to wake up.

Any day I wake up feeling reasonably good is a start.
Then if everything works without issue - things in the house, car, etc.
Any cat vomit is on the floor, instead of the rug - or non-existent altogether.
The hummingbirds are feeding !
I have a decent workout at the gym.

After that - all is possible !

Waking up refreshed. Sun is shining. Windows are open t a fresh breeze.

THEN that first morning tea out on my screened in porch, listening to the cardinals.

Pretty much starts my day off with a smile...

A long long conversation with a friend afar that I havent talked to in awhile.

A movie that inspires me about humanity or the residence of people or one about nature.

A good book or site that teaches me something new

Listenening to one of my many play lists on you tube while doing paperwork or something I don't like to do.

when you can't walk, it is definitely limiting.

Waking up.

Since I moved into my sixties, now sixty-five, any day is a good day when I don't see grass roots above me! Living in Florida after ten years in the North Carolina I do miss the hiking, but not shoveling snow is a plus!

All days are different, what gave me joy today may not give me joy tomorrow.

Yes me too. Still wearing a boot. So annoying.

I have been stranded in the Midwest for almost two years. My heart and feet scream for mountains, but have to contend with music and my favorite authors.

Knowing that I love and I am loved.

I can't imagine being put on non-weight bearing for a broken toe.

I have fully- and I mean fully wrenched a toe sideways and just grimaced and popped it back and taped it to a neighbor for a couple of weeks.

A Good Day for me is to feel rested and flexible with little stifness.

A meaningful day, its when i pay attention to must of the things thats going on in my life. Or try to do...

Getting up in the morning, eating breakfast, taking my morning meds and vitamins, and not wanting to go back to bed for a while........Better yet are the days when I resist the urge to do so....

Any day I can sit back with a cup of coffee, either alone, with friends, family, with one of my cats.
All is okay with the world.

Trump not opening his mouth.

Seriously; waking up as a functional adult.

A few years ago I was refereeing an adult soccer game on a Thursday night when a leaping player landed on my foot and broke the tip of my toe. The next day I had a youth game to referee and limped and hopped around to get through the game, and later I told my assignors I could not do my weekend games (luckily it rained and most games were cancelled). By the following Thursday the swelling had gone down and I was able to referee again. If my toe had been broken below the knuckle I doubt I would have been back on the field that soon. I hope you get back on the trail soon.

I was expecting to see 4 photos close up . Number 5 was a delightful surprise . Thank You !

Oh man, chronic back issues have me returning to this question far too often! Like you, my favorite thing in the world is hiking/walking/exploring. In order to appease both my back and my heart, I keep distance, time and terrain on my hikes moderate. Even then I’m often hobbled the next few days, but it’s always worth it!
Hope you heal fast and get out there very soon!
