Feeling goodhttps://www.google.com/adsense/new/u/0/pub-3691500166505297/privacymessaging

How are you feeling right now?

At the present time I am feeling really good.  I have just taken Lily for a good walk in the fresh, crisp morning 🌄 air and have just had a coffee, so I am feeling great.   I am at my most contented and productive at this time of day. Walking 🚶‍♂️ Lily makes me happy, and the morning air and the coffee make me my most alert and productive.  As I write ✍️ this, Lily is right by my side touching me, peaceful and contented.   Yes, the morning 🌄 is the loveliest time of day. Life is good 😄.

Daily Habitshttps://www.google.com/adsense/new/u/0/pub-3691500166505297/privacymessaging

What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?

There are two daily habits that improve my quality of life.

The first is my morning 🌄 habit of practising mindfulness.  I do  this by slowly going through my morning routine and slowly eating breakfast,  savouring the taste .

The other thing I do that improves my quality of life is my morning 🌄 walk with Lily.  It is the best time of day to be outdoors, savouring the fresh crisp morning air and bonding with Lily.   It is her favourite time of day. I have already taken her this morning, so she is peaceful and contented.  It certainly improves the quality of life for both of us to get this exercise, and it makes me grateful and appreciative of where I live

It is the little everyday gestures that improve our quality of life and doing them becomes easy to fit into our lifestyle,  so common place that we do them automatically and instinctively.

The last thing I searched for onlinehttps://www.google.com/adsense/new/u/0/pub-3691500166505297/privacymessaging

What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

The last thing I searched for online was site approvals for Googke Adsense, how to get your site approved.  I looked this up because I am going through that process at the moment.

TV shows I watched as a kidhttps://www.google.com/adsense/new/u/0/pub-3691500166505297/privacymessaging

What TV shows did you watch as a kid?

I can remember watching Daryl Somers and Ozzie Ostrach on Cartoon Corner.   I watched cartoons like Scoobie Doo and Peanuts.  I can remember watching Little House On The Prairie and a program about a vet called Young Ramsay. I watched The Goodies with my brothers and also watched Countdown.

Stormy weatherhttps://www.google.com/adsense/new/u/0/pub-3691500166505297/privacymessaging

As I am writing this, we are experiencing thunderstorms with deep thunderous noises and lightning.

Lily is right by my side glued to me. Thunderstorms distress her, and she remains glued to me. If it is nighttime and there are thunderstorms, she will hide under my bed, or she will jump on top of me in the bed to be as close to me as possible.  I worry when she jumps on my bed that she will hurt herself jumping off it because I have an old antique bed.  She needs to be close to me to feel safe, and when it is as extreme as it is right now, I just remain quiet and pat her gently, comforting her.  It is part and parcel of her being a dog 🐕 to be distressed at thunder, so I will finish writing my blog and take care of her in her time of need.

Early Morning 🌄https://www.google.com/adsense/new/u/0/pub-3691500166505297/privacymessaging

What’s your favorite time of day?

My favourite time of day is definitely the early morning, not long after the sun has risen for the day.  I am an early riser and love walking Lily at this time of day ,when the air is fresh and crisp, and all the smells of nature come to life.  Lily loves smelling everything on her walk, particularly when the ground is still a little damp after the cool night air.  I feel fortunate that I live in Melbourne and that because of our weather, the morning 🌄 is by far the best time to walk your dog or get exercise.  It is peaceful,  it is bliss, it is heaven on earth 🌎 🙏🏽 and it makes me grateful 🙏🏽 and contented.  Lily just loves ❤️ her morning 🌄 walk, and it is the best bonding time for us.

Chicken and Spinach Curry anhttps://www.google.com/adsense/new/u/0/pub-3691500166505297/privacymessagingd Golden Syrup Dumplings

What’s your favorite recipe?

My favourite recipe that I cook for myself is my Indian style Chicken and Spinach Curry out of Gabriel Gates Good  Food Fast. It is delicious and has Ginger, fennel seeds,  garlic chilli, tomatoes 🍅 Spinach and mushrooms.  I make it occasionally when I feel like treating myself and make enough for four meals.

My favourite family recipe would have to  be my mothers Golden Syrup Dumplings.   I have never made them myself, but even when I think of them, it evokes many childhood memories, and I can recall the taste.  It is amazing how taste and smell can be powerful forces that bring back memories.  I love the smell of my kitchen that cooking the curry brings.  It makes me think how much I love the smell of Indian spices and would love to see India to be immersed in that smell.

The little things in life.

Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.

Yesterday was the last time I was really excited by something because I managed to work out the technology of attaching my site to Google Adsense.  I did this totally on my own. Also, yesterday, I spent time with my hairdresser,  who is also one of my closest friends and confidantes.  Anytime I spend with her is wonderful.

I regularly get excited by the small events or achievements in my life. For instance, I have just taken Lily for her morning 🌄 walk, and it is a beautiful morning 🌄 here today. Something to be thankful for.

I guess it is the small things in life that I get the most enjoyment and excited about. It is important to celebrate the little successes in life because they help to make life so much better, positive, and optimistic.

I worked out the next step

Earlier today, I wrote a blog post about being frustrated that I’m not the most tech-savvy person in the world.

Well further to that I worked out the next step and successfully linked my site to Google Adsense .  I took the process in baby steps and googled it when I needed to find out the process of linking both sites using an Android phone.  Yeah I am so happy as I put two and two together and had a successful outcome.

I told my regular readers that I would keep you posted, and now I can give a positive response.  My response to fellow bloggers is to take everything in baby steps and ask google questions when you need answers.  Technology is not beyond me. Life is good.

I don’t know what it is I don’t knowhttps://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3691500166505297

Today, I thought I would focus on writing ✍️ about my blog. For the past little while, I have been endeavouring to  link my blog to Google Adsense with only a little success. Not being the most tech-savvy person in the world, this is becoming quite challenging.   I’ve literally hit a bit of a snag in the process and don’t know how to proceed further. I don’t know what it is. I don’t know.  I know that I have started the process to monetise the site, but I am lost as to how to proceed further. Have other bloggers found the process challenging because I could really appreciate it if I found out that it isn’t just me who is so technically challenged by technology.   I feel like a bit of an idiot, but I am determined to proceed with it.

I will keep my  readers in the loop as to what happens with this process.  I am just a little lost and confused.  I know I will get past that, but I needed to voice where I’m at for now.
