Hi! This is a place for you to share everything positive with kind strangers on the Internet.

Made new friends? Found love? Got a new wonderful job? Bought something cool? Found something amazing on the Internet? Maybe had a wonderful celebration? Maybe something else? Or you're just in a great, grateful, relaxed mood and want to share some of it with the world?

Share it, and let the fire in your eyes brighten everybody's day, for joys are best when shared!

Rules:

  1. No negativity: This is a safe and positive space. Make sure your posts and comments respect that. If you feel offended by any of the posts - feel free to message admin(s)!

  2. No discrimination: Posts and comments should not contain any forms of discrimination and hostilities to any groups of people.

  3. No gloating: If you got happier by making someone else feel worse, this is not the place to share it. This is a place to express gratitude, and share moments that will feel warm to everyone.

Rules are work in progress and subject to change. If you want to help moderating the community and keeping it alive, let me (Allero@lemmy.today) know! Everyone is welcome!

For the first time in 8 years, our entire grand family gathered together this New Year's night.

It was a miracle - a message from my childhood, and a way to relive that magic again.

We celebrated through 3 homes in different parts of the city, had walks, fireworks, Christmas trees, easter egg hunts (tshhh, yes, easter eggs in New Year), delicious food of course, and through it all, and above all - a lot of genuine smiles and connection we all embraced together.

It was my push to celebrate it this way, and I'm extremely happy how it played out. Having some more memories to cherish though this - hopefully great - year!

That sounds really nice. I think our lives can become routine and sometimes filled with so much routine stuff that it feels like running in a hamster wheel sometimes.

I also really enjoyed being off work this xmas and new years, just spending family time and enjoying good food and relaxation. Also trying out new cars, because I want to lease a new car... so fun to test drive a lot of different models. Cars are so good these days, all of them. Much improved in the last 15 years since our last car was bought.

I know that hamster wheel feeling real close, and happy you had some time to escape it as well!
