Name 10 things that make you happy |
|
Okay, because I've had such a crappy day (car crash, as mentioned elsewhere; new torture photos and nonstop CRAPOLA from the Bush administration), I thought I'd try not to dwell on my misery for at least a few minutes and come up with 10 things that never fail to make me happy:
1. Laughing and joking around with my husband and knowing he loves me no matter how angry and histrionic I get 2. Petting my beautiful cats Monty and Simba 3. Watching the birds, squirrels, bunnies and chipmunks enjoying our backyard bird feeder 4. Cuddling up with a good book and a cup of tea on a rainy or snowy day 5. Overextending myself in law school and juggling 7 tasks at once (I'm serious!) 6. Watching bulbs and seeds we planted developing beautiful blossoms and strong, healthy leaves 7. Watching a romantic Bollywood movie 8. Shopping with my sister and being grateful for the ability to do so 9. Tearing into a good juicy steak and baked potato 10. Knowing there are people on DU who understand how I feel!
What about you?

(1) my wife (2-5) our four children (6) good books (7) fire flies on a nice night {saw some last night} (8) clean water (9) my dog bringing me a shoe to signal he needs to go out {he's a 100lb German Shepard, no fun to "clean up" after!} (10) waking up alive every morning, and having another day on earth.
Life is a miracle. Each one of us is part of the miracle of life. It's a great time to be alive. I'm not over-looking the horror that many of our brothers and sisters experience every day around the globe. Rather, I am thankful each and every day, for the good things I have.

4. Thanks for this thread. |

1. Seeing how green Maryland gets in the mild, rainy days of May. 2. Hearing a six-year-old art critic hold forth in front of a painting in the National Gallery. 3. Spike Jones. 4. A nice cup of hot tea with milk in it. 5. Seeing Kerry buttons on passers-by and Kerry stickers on cars. 6. Laughing out loud over a greeting card while in the store (usually a sure-fire guarantee that I will buy the card) 7. Finding or receiving a wheat-back penny. 8. Watching Turner Classic Movies. 9. Watching British comedies on PBS. 10. Being surrounded by naturally funny people (I'm lucky both in terms of co-workers and brothers)
