IDEA for a future contest

I am so enamored with Sharlyn's update today. she was a vision, and had a hat that had posted on it "Living My Best Life". How about a "Living my best Life" contest. Maybe for March, since March is such a hard month to pin down. Still wants to be winter, yet wants to be spring as well. So no rules with this contest. Just post a photo of you living your best life.... doing anything that you feel you are living the best life, the live you deserve. Can be anything. Would not need be nude, if curling up watching Tv in your Jammies cuddling with your faithful pet makes you feel your living your best life...that is great, if it walking naked in the forest, or flashing on the street... good too.. Basically it is what makes you happiest..... Would love to see the entries for such a theme. Anyone else?

This is a great idea! I'd say that it is needed given how 2021 isn't much different than 2020... and we all need to be happy! I'd like to add on the stipulation that the photo has to be taken this year... just to make it a bit more fun... your thoughts?

I appreciate the notion of the photo being 2021, but what if for a charm her best life is camping outside in the summer, hard to get one taken in the miserable winter that is going on in parts of the world. I do like the idea though, if the topic gets chosen, best to let that up to Sultry Serena, she knows best what other charms think.

Excellent idea!!
How about Best Live of [year-here] ? So we can pick our year.
For me, in particular, the best moments are in my garden, where water is frozen now.

Yes, should not be time limited. I lived my best life some 20 years ago.... while I have a great life now , it was much different back then.

My whole point in limiting it to this year is so everyone can be happy with where you are.. sure things aren't great now but we do have a lot to be happy about. Try to look for pleasure in tne little things!

Sounds good, how about this: one photo with two instances, side by side, like those before and after photos.
To the left the happiest best moment 'ever,' and to the right the best of 'today' -this year.

I suggested the theme "Living MY Best Life". The theme is BEST LIFE, which should just encompass more than 2 months out of a year that is not even 1/6 complete. It cannot be contained in a short period of time. I know a couple , their life is cruising and they have not been at sea since March. While they are a happy duo, they are most assuredly NOT living their BEST LIFE at the moment. A neighbor just lost her husband to Covid last week, and found out in sheer horror, that he left his life insurance lapse over two years ago. I don't she is looking on the start of the year as happy. Personally I think if one can just find contentment these days they are ahead of the game.
I suggested a short sweet, easy to connect to theme. I did not want it to become complicated or difficult. If someone wanted a happiness theme then try 2021: What makes me happy today. Then to appease that person another suggested side by side photos. The more complicated the rules, the fewer charms participate as we have seen with my doppelganger theme several months ago.
I all for doing a 2021: What is happiness today, How I am coping in 2021, as themes, but BEST LIFE, is totally different and should not be included with them.

"Best Life"...I like it! Since a lot of us who are living in subzero climates right now, maybe we role play our Best Life moments?! Past, present or future.
Let's all close our eyes, take a deep breath, and vision our BEST LIVES! This could be very therapeutic for many of us https://www.southern-charms3.com/lulu/main.htm

Agree, let's stick to the original for this theme: "Living MY Best Life" and consider Best-of-the-Best EVER!! Timeless Best.
A Happy Valentine's to you all
